KONG Classic / KONG Extreme Natural Rubber Toy vs ProSelect Non-Tip Stainless Steel Brake-Fast Slow Feed Dog Bowl
KONG Classic / KONG Extreme Natural Rubber Toy
by KONG
The KONG Classic and KONG Extreme are iconic hollow natural rubber toys designed for chewing, bouncing, and treat stuffing. The snowman-shaped form creates an unpredictable bounce for fetch and play, while the hollow center can be filled with treats, paste, or meals for enrichment. The black Extreme version uses a tougher rubber formula intended for stronger chewers, while the line overall includes multiple sizes and formulas for different life stages. It remains a versatile staple for both solo enrichment and owner-led play.
ProSelect Non-Tip Stainless Steel Brake-Fast Slow Feed Dog Bowl
by ProSelect
The ProSelect Brake-Fast Slow Feed Dog Bowl uses three fixed stainless steel studs inside a non-tip bowl to interrupt fast eating without the complexity of a full maze. Its durable steel construction, rubber base, and larger capacity options make it a practical choice for strong eaters and larger breeds.
