But the Extreme Flyer is super light and really easy to throw and to a fair distance, which of course is much more fun for the dogs. The Kong classic toy was ‘born’ back in the seventies when the founder Joe Markham discovered that a snowman shaped rubber suspension car part he threw out appealed to his dog Fitz. Designed for the toughest of chewers, the KONG Extreme offers enrichment and helps satisfy dog’s instinctual needs.

When you get a tracking number it does not mean the item is 'dispatched' and has left us, it just means the item has been allocated a carrier with the tracking ID. For the lazier chewer of course this means less moving around trying to get the right angle to have a good chew.Well it took a matter of seconds for this pair to get their teeth stuck in and we didn’t hear a peep out of them for hours. Chica is actually smaller than the weight of between 13 and 40 kg the toy is designed for, but we couldn’t leave her out of helping to test a product! Our doggies at Benafim Dogs were intrigued, they wanted to know more about Kong toys and whether they really are as good as they claim to be.

His toy dog stayed close by and with a slightly envious eye watched as Teddy had a proper chew on the tyre. Each stuffable Kong compartment also has ridges inside which helps keep any treats inside and makes it more challenging for a dog to reach and get out.

What is also fantastic is that when he let go, the ball bounces which got Tom chasing after it and retrieving the toy back to his bed. While incredibly cute (look what I made for you daddy) he really cherishes EVERY single piece and will not quit until each piece has been thrown across the room a million times (somehow manages to find them no matter how small) The Kong lasts a very long time and he gets a little whiney when he can't get pieces off but great for Game Of Thrones or some other show that requires his silence. Black Nero loved and we mean loved the goodie ribbon – so much so he is still talking to us about it days after trying it for the first time. We are a soft touch at times and seeing him so happy means we left the toy for him to enjoy and have a good chew on. Teddy, one of our newest rescues, came to us extremely traumatised and scared from a horrendously traumatic past.
