• About KONG

  KONG toys are made by The KONG Company, founded in Colorado in 1976. What started as one rubber chew toy designed by a garage mechanic for his dog has grown into one of the most recognized names in pet products worldwide.

• Where are KONG products made?

  All KONG Rubber products are made proudly here in the U.S.A along with a few other products such as the KONG Naturals Pop-Up Incline Scratcher. Other items are made with our trusted international manufacturers and undergo rigorous product testing and quality controls measures to ensure that they meet our KONG Strong standards of excellence and durability.

• What do the KONG rubber colors mean?

  With our KONG rubber we have a few different colors of rubber, each color represents a different chewing ability.

  The KONG puppy comes in baby pink and baby blue. This is a great choice for Puppies that are under 9 months old. We manufacture the puppy rubber to be softer than our other KONGs, and the reasoning for this is that a puppy's teeth can be very sensitive and in order to avoid puppy teeth falling out prematurely we made this rubber softer. Once a puppy has its canines fully grown in, we suggest moving up to a more durable rubber formula such as the red classic for average chewers or the black extreme, the most durable rubber for power chewers.

  The KONG Classic comes in our traditional red color. This rubber is the next step above the puppy. The red rubber is more durable than the puppy and suggested for average chewers.

  Our KONG Extreme is the strongest rubber we manufacture, and this comes in black. The KONG Extreme is always a great choice for any power chewer.

  For senior dogs we have our KONG Senior which is Purple (Not to be confused with the purple Kitty KONG). The KONG Senior is also made of a softer rubber material, as dogs get older their teeth can also be sensitive.

  Our Aqua KONG is Orange. The Aqua KONG is designed to be a water toy as it floats and has a rope, this is appropriate for average chewers.

  With any KONG Rubber toy, please make sure to use our sizing guide to choose the right size KONG for your dog. As always, we suggest supervising your dog with their KONG as no dog toy is indestructible!

• Is KONG a trusted brand with vets and trainers?

  Yes. KONG products are widely recommended by veterinarians, trainers, and animal behaviorists, particularly for their role in mental enrichment, separation anxiety support, and appropriate chew redirection.
