KONG Squeezz Ball with Handle for Dogs, Medium, Colors Vary


Very durable
Even after the rope is chewed up, the ball survives (and still squeaks!). Good for dogs that like to play tug of war or fetch with a person.
Good Design, Not Quite Sturdy Enough
My Labrador can basically destroy anything except a Kong Classic. He even goes through Nylabones. So I knew this toy wouldn't necessarily hold up long for him. But it has still held up longer than I expected. I only bring it out when we're playing tug-of-war together (in other words, he's not chewing it apart on his own), but after a month of playing, the handle is partly broken up and the rope is starting to wear through in one place.

The design is great, though -- perfect for for tug-of-war. I would love it if Kong could make this design with sturdier rubber and a tougher, thicker piece of rope. The ball part is fine, but the handle is pretty easy to chew through. If they made the handle of the same material that they make those Kong classics (those red ones you put peanut butter in) and made the rope a little thicker, it would get five stars from me instead of four!
Miniature Schnauzer Loves It
We adopted a friend's dog and eventually figured out that she wants to play fetch with something other than a tennis ball. From the moment she saw this toy (ours is purple) she has loved it. She gets excited just seeing it, and asks to be let outside so she can play with it. It throws easily, the grip is comfortable in my hand, and the dog has gnawed for short periods of time (a half-minute at the most) without any damage to the rope. She also likes to play tug-a-war with it. The ball squeaks when I squeeze it but my dog isn't interested in trying to bite it herself. She's not a large dog (only 13lb) and her jaw isn't big enough to bite the ball. I would definitely buy this again.

KONG Stuff'N Ziggies Cube Small Dog Treat, 52-Ounce


My dog loves these.
Only gave it a three rating because even though they are individually wrapped, some were stale. I know this because I slice them for my tiny dog and some were too dry and hard to slice.
Love the Bulk Size
My puppy has to have her Kong treat every morning after her first "potty" of the day. Buying these in bulk like this keeps the cost down.
Doesn't always fit well in the small kongs
I'm not sure if it's a Kong issue or a ziggie issue but both of my little guys pull the Ziggie right out of the Kong. I have a Yorkie and a Shitz-poo. It's not challenging for them. I contacted the company and they offered nothing except suggesting putting them in the freezer. Hmmmm.....don't think I want that on my carpet....I did have some others before that did give them more of a challenge, so... I'm inclined to think that the Ziggies may be a tad smaller than they should be.
I would NOT buy again.

KONG Cozie Ali the Alligator Medium Dog Toy, Green


So far still squeaks
my terrier kills squeakers in minutes and this one still squeaks -- he likes it and plays with it often. seems tougher than many toys at similar cost...will buy another if this one continues to hold up.
Was ok
Didn't hold up to my dogs teeth but he is a chewer and very tough on toys. Lasted about a week but he still has the rag he carries around without stuffing squeaker.
He chewed to shreds every other chew toy, but not Croc...
I don't know what it is about this toy, but my dog chewed to bits any other stuffed toy. He would kill the squeakers in seconds, ripping the guts out in minutes of anything stuffed. Ironically, he loves this one, carrying it into his bed at night and out to the patio every morning to get sun (alligators like that I guess?). Anyhow, it's held up beautifully, is a fun indoor toy, and my pooch's best friend.

KONG Cat Cozie Kickeroo Catnip Toy (Assorted)


My cat is addicted
My cat is OBSESSED with her raccoon kickaroo. She carries it around in her mouth all day and loves to play fetch with it. I frequently wake up with it on top of me in bed from her wanting to play fetch in the middle of the night.. She also rolls around with it and licks it a lot. She has not taken to any other toy to the extent that she loves this one. Just picking it up and crinkling it at her, she goes nuts. My other cat also likes the raccoon and likes to kick it, but she likes to kick other toys too. And she's not wildly obsessed like the first cat is..

The toy is very lightweight even though it is large. The sound is a little irritating when you are trying to sleep, but there are much more irritating toys out there.

I've had the toy for nearly 2 months now, and considering my cat plays with it ALL DAY LONG, it is holding up very well. The felt on the face is getting a little fluffy, but none of the seams have split, the ears are still attached, and it has no...
The kickeroo is not my arm.
My silly demon of a foster kitty loves to wrestle with my hands and arms. While I know she is only playing, it hurts! I purchased the Kong Kickeroo so that she would have something to wrestle with that wasn't my arm. She still prefers to wrestle with my arm, when she goes after me I can substitute the kickeroo for my arm and she'll wrestle with the kickeroo instead of me.

The kickeroo is smaller and less firm than I'd imagined it would be, but it's filled something that makes a nice crackling sound and she loves wrestling with it. Silly demon kitty is small - only about 7 pounds. I'm not sure if this toy would be big enough for a large cat to wrestle with. I do not think it will survive my dog if he gets hold of it.

Bottom line: When Kickeroo dies I will order another. It reduces the amount of time silly demon kitty spends attacking me - for $5 it's worth it.
Excellent Product
My cat totally loves this item. He had one I purchased when I picked him up from the shelter. He played with it so much, I thought I had better get him a second one just in case. I literally just opened the package and he is in love again. It's an excellent toy for a cat to self-entertain.
