The KONG story begins back in the 1970s at the hands of Joe Markham, who recognised that his ex-police dog Fritz was attempting to entertain himself by chewing rocks. Knowing the hazards this presented, Joe one day tossed Fritz a piece of Volkswagen Bus rubber suspension part that Joe was working on - and Fritz loved it! Joe then worked to make a dog toy with the same durability and feel, until he created the KONG toy that people (and their dogs) all around the world love. KONG dog toys encourage play, satisfying instinctual needs and strengthening the bond between dog and pet parent. Built for durability, KONG dog toys also offer mental and physical stimulation, all whilst meeting the innate need of dogs to play.

The KONG Classic is the gold standard of dog toys, having become the must have, essential toy for dogs around the world for over forty years!

It is made using KONG classic, all natural rubber which is specially designed for average chewers. The KONG is also available in KONG Puppy, KONG Extreme and KONG Senior rubber types to satisfy the instinctual chewing needs of dogs of all shapes, sizes, ages and breeds. The KONG Classic also makes a great fetch toy and has an erratic bounce to keep your pooch guessing.

Providing enrichment through play, chewing and interactive toys like the KONG Classic helps to reduce boredom and can be a powerful tool in addressing behavioural problems such as separation anxiety. The KONG Classic can be stuffed with pastes, treats or your own custom filling recipes to keep your dog occupied and mentally stimulated. Fill and freeze for an extra challenge!
