Kong-Style Toys 10 Features Compared

KONG Extreme

by KONG

Price $8.99-$26.99
Rating ★★★★★ 4.7/5 (1,800 reviews)
Category Kong-Style Toys
Best For Power chewers and dogs that have already destroyed standard red KONG toys.

KONG Extreme uses the brand’s black rubber formula, its toughest standard option for power chewers. It keeps the same hollow, stuffable design and unpredictable bounce as the Classic, allowing dogs to chew, chase, and work for treats or frozen fillings with longer-lasting durability.

KONG Extreme Goodie Bone

by KONG

Price $12.98
Rating ★★★★ 4/5 (13 reviews)
Category Kong-Style Toys
Best For Dogs that prefer bone shapes and like to grip toys while chewing, especially moderate to strong chewers who still enjoy treat puzzles.

The KONG Extreme Goodie Bone is a bone-shaped chew toy made from black Extreme rubber with treat-holding Goodie Gripper ends. Its shape makes it easier for dogs to hold between their paws while chewing, and the ends can be stuffed with snacks, soft chews, or spreadable treats for added engagement.
