KONG Classic / KONG Extreme Natural Rubber Toy vs West Paw Zogoflex Toppl Treat Dispensing Dog Chew Toy
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.
West Paw Zogoflex Toppl Treat Dispensing Dog Chew Toy
by West Paw
The Toppl is a treat-dispensing puzzle bowl made from soft yet durable Zogoflex material. Dogs work to lick, nudge, paw, or twist out wet food, kibble, or treats held in place by interior teeth, and the toy can also be frozen to extend playtime. Its open bowl shape makes it easy to fill and clean, and interlocking size combinations can increase the challenge.
