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.
West Paw Zogoflex Toppl Treat-Dispensing Puzzle Toy
by West Paw
Price $18.95
Rating ★★★★★ 4.5/5 (30 reviews)
Category Kong-Style Toys
Best For Dogs that enjoy puzzle-style enrichment and slow feeding more than traditional chew toys, especially moderate chewers.
The West Paw Toppl is a rounded treat-dispensing puzzle toy made from Zogoflex material with a large top opening and smaller side openings for layered food, kibble, or frozen recipes. It can be used as a puzzle feeder, enrichment toy, or slow feeder, and two sizes can be interlocked to increase the challenge.
