KONG Rubber Chew Toy for Senior Dogs, Medium, stuffable, natural rubber

KONG designed this senior dog chew toy for the chewing and play habits of older dogs, and its medium size is made of natural rubber in the KONG Senior formula. The centre is hollow, so kibble or a dash of peanut butter can go inside while your dog works at it. The toy comes from a company that has been making pet products since 1976, and it is made in the USA with materials sourced globally.

Does this chew toy suit your senior dog?

The toy is listed as size Medium and as a senior product, so the fit depends on the size of your dog rather than on a breed list. Measure the toy against what your dog already carries in its mouth, and check that the medium size is the one you want before buying. Older dogs with worn or missing teeth are still dogs, and no toy is truly indestructible, so the manufacturer asks you to stay with your dog during play and to take the toy away if it becomes damaged.

How to use the KONG Senior chew toy

Stuffing is the stated way to use the hollow centre: kibble or a dash of peanut butter goes inside to extend playtime. Keep the toy in play only while you can watch your dog, and put it away once it shows damage.

What the rubber formula and hollow centre mean in play

• The toy is moulded from a distinct KONG Senior rubber formula, which sets it apart from the standard KONG rubber.
• A hollow centre holds kibble or a dash of peanut butter, so the toy can be filled before play.
• Medium is the size of this version, and it is the middle of the range rather than a small or large toy.
• The toy is intended for senior dogs, which is the life stage named in the product name.
• The manufacturer makes the toy in the USA using materials sourced globally.

Several reviewers mention that the toy holds up to chewing, and others say it keeps their dog occupied; a few note that it is smaller than they expected, and some describe the texture as soft. KONG has been developing its products since 1976.
