When to Choose KONG Classic Dog Toy

All dog owners — the gold standard chew toy that doubles as a treat dispenser

The KONG Classic is the most versatile dog toy ever made — and that is not hyperbole. Its natural rubber construction survives power chewers, the fillable center turns it into a puzzle toy, and it comes in every size imaginable. At under $13, the price-to-durability ratio is unmatched. Every dog should own one.

Strengths

  • Nearly indestructible natural rubber withstands even power chewers
  • Fillable center provides hours of enrichment with treats, peanut butter, or kibble
  • Available in six sizes from XS to XXL to fit any dog breed

Limitations

  • Plain design may not excite dogs who prefer interactive or plush toys
  • Unfilled KONG bounces unpredictably — not ideal for structured fetch
  • Red classic version may stain light-colored carpets when stuffed

When to Choose Chuckit! Paraflight Flyer

Active dogs who love fetch and owners who want a safer alternative to hard plastic frisbees

The Chuckit! Paraflight is the best frisbee-style toy in this comparison — the soft multilayer construction is dramatically gentler on dogs' mouths than hard plastic alternatives, and the aerodynamic profile delivers impressive flight performance. The water-floating capability makes it versatile across environments. Not a chew toy, but as a fetch disc it is hard to beat.

Strengths

  • Multilayer nylon and rubber construction is gentler on dogs' mouths than hard plastic frisbees
  • Aerodynamic design flies straight and far with minimal effort
  • Floats on water — excellent for lake and beach fetch sessions

Limitations

  • Not designed for chewing — determined chewers can tear through the nylon layers
  • Large size only — limited options for small breed dogs
  • Can get slippery when wet, making it harder for some dogs to grip
