This post is part of the Stale Cheerios 2014 holiday gift guide and giveaways series.
What dog doesn’t love KONG toys? I know that Ginger, plus all of my foster dogs and clients’ dogs love KONG toys. And, if your dog also loves KONG toys, I’ve got a nice surprise for you today!
The lovely folks over at KONG have donated an awesome gift pack of toys and treats for me to give away as part of the Stale Cheerios gift guide and giveaway week. You’ll find the entry form for the giveaway at the bottom of this post.
Why I love KONG
KONG is probably best known for their classic red KONG toy. I’m not sure how I’d describe a KONG to someone who wasn’t familiar with one – it’s like a large red rubber snowman that’s hollow inside! The classic KONG toys is made out of tough rubber, so it’s great for dogs that really like to chew. However, the best part about a classic KONG is that you can stuff it with all sorts of food or treats. This satisfies a dog’s natural desire to lick and chew and can keep your dog busy for quite some time!
For my foster dog Star (pictured to the right), I would take some of her daily kibble, mix it with a bit of canned food, stuff it in a KONG, and freeze it overnight. It would usually take her 30-45 minutes to get all of the food out from inside. This was a great way to keep her busy, since she was a high energy girl and would get bored easily if I didn’t give her enough things to do.
What’s included in this KONG giveaway
You might not know this, but KONG makes a huge variety of toys, so if the classic KONG isn’t really your dog’s style, there are plenty of other fun options.
The gift pack that we’re giving away this week here on Stale Cheerios includes:
- A super cute green KONG Cozie stuffed alligator
- Two great bones (the KONG Goodie Bone and the KONG AirDog)
- A big purple KONG Wubba squeaky toy
- A bouncy blue KONG Squeezz ball, and
- A large red Classic KONG
There’s also a box of peanut butter KONG snacks and a can of liver flavored KONG Easy Treat, both of which you can use to fill the classic KONG.
What Ginger had to say
Since this is a toy review, Ginger dog definitely wanted to add her two cents! She says she absolutely loves her Squeezz ball and orange KONG Squeezz dumbbell. They make funny squeaky noises and are so fun to chase around the house. There’s even one of the KONG Squeezz balls including in the prize pack, so your dog can try one out too.
What I love about the Squeezz toys is that they are TOUGH! Ginger got one of the Squeezz balls for her birthday and has not managed to destroy it yet. For a medium-sized dog, Ginger is quite talented at destroying things (especially toys that make squeaky noises), so this is pretty remarkable. I’ve always been impressed by the quality and durability of KONG toys. They hold up well for Ginger and other dogs that I know are quite hard on their toys.

We have a new golden retriever puppy, and we also foster service dogs in training. We are in constant need of new toys and entertainment, and this would be such a welcome addition. Kong toys last so long, and they’re easy to throw in the dishwasher between dogs, so they’re fresh each time. Plus, PEANUT BUTTER !
My dogs would like any toys, but Kong are the only ones they can’t shred to pieces.
My pup would love this because he is only two and still loves to gnaw on toys!
My dog would love to win these great dog toys because we are big fans of Kong toys. We love the fact that they do not get torn up in one day like other toys we have purchased.
He loves things like this!
my dog would love this to play
I have a Siberian Husky that loves toys so much, but destroys all of them except Kong, he even has a Kong bed!!
You say the word treat and they get excited. My old boy would love the toys he is 14 years old and still has some puppy in him.
MY two furbabies Love toys especially Kong toys 🙂
My dogs love Kong products. I love giveaways with multiple items because I can let my dogs each “pick” one thing for themselves, and then I donate the rest to my local shelter or pet food pantry!
Kongs are the only toys that hold up against my strong chewers!
my dog would like to win for Christmas!
My aunt is getting a dog for Christmas. I think the KONGS toys and treats prize pack would be a warm welcome to the new addition to her family.
A Kong toy with their erratic bouncing keeps my puppy guessing.
My little aussie loves her kong! She is a highly active girl & a frozen kong buys me some quiet time so I can work and study! Kongs are perfect for her as she is an aggressive chewer!
She is super cute, Sandrine! Thanks for sharing a picture. 🙂
Dogs like to chew, and these toys are the best!
Here at Leader Dog, all our dogs LOVE their KONG toys. We are always looking for new toys to try out with our dogs, and we would love to test drive the toys in this giveaway!
My daughter’s dog love to play with Kong toys.
we have a playful energetic 5 month old jackabee puppy at our house, he LOVES playing and we love Kong toys they are so sturdy!
My crazy boxer mix would adore this!! She has always loved KONG toys in the past, and we have one stored in the freezer right now! But I’d love to have more to rotate for the other 4 rescues in the house lol!
