{"product_id":"kong-classic-dog-toy-red-large","title":"KONG Classic Dog Toy, Red, Large","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere is a reason the KONG Classic has been in most dog owners' houses for decades. It is a lump of red natural rubber shaped like a snowman, hollow in the middle, and it does three jobs better than toys that cost twice as much. Stuff it with peanut butter, kibble or a KONG treat and it keeps an average chewer busy for a good while, working the food out a bit at a time. Throw it and the odd shape gives it an unpredictable bounce that turns fetch into a chase. Leave it lying around and it is a satisfying chew that helps clean teeth and gums along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKONG's red natural rubber formula is designed for average chewers and it is tough enough to handle daily use without being so hard that it is unpleasant to chew. It is made in the USA from non toxic materials, it goes in the dishwasher, and it freezes well: pack it with wet food or yoghurt, freeze it overnight and hand it over when you need half an hour of peace. Vets and trainers recommend it for crate training, separation anxiety and boredom for the same reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich rubber?\u003c\/strong\u003e KONG makes the Classic shape in four rubber formulas, from soft to firm. Puppy (blue or pink) is for teething pups, Senior (purple) is a gentler rubber for older jaws, Classic (red, this one) is for average chewers, and Extreme (black) is for power chewers who destroy most toys. If your dog is a normal, enthusiastic chewer, red is the one. If they are a shredder, go black.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich size?\u003c\/strong\u003e Go by your dog's weight and, when in doubt, size up. The toy should be too big to fit fully in their mouth, and in a house with more than one dog, buy for the largest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eS: up to 9 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM: 7 to 16 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eL: 13 to 30 kg (this listing, about 10 cm tall)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eXL: 27 to 41 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eXXL: 38 kg and up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLarge suits Border Collies, Staffies, Labradors, Kelpies, Huskies and most Golden Retrievers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCare: rinse or wash in warm soapy water, or pop it in the top rack of the dishwasher.
