KONG toys are the best of the best for quality, originality, variety, safety and benefits!
Founder - Joe Markham loved his "retired" police dog Fritz, but disliked his bad habit of chewing. While other dogs would gnaw on your shoes or favorite purse, Fritz preferred to gnaw on rocks, sticks, and other dangerous objects. Fritz's teeth were fraying and Joe was upset.
One day, while working on a Volkswagen bus, Joe started throwing car parts to Fritz to keep him away from the rocks. Fritz immediately got carried away with the rubber suspension and, playing, threw it into Joe's lap. The random rebound and resilience of rubber inspired Joe to create toys.
Since KONG makes toys from its own proprietary rubber that is safe for pets and designed to be chewed.
