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 Multipet Lamb Chop Squeaky Plush
Gentle players and puppies who enjoy comfort toys and squeaky plush
The Multipet Lamb Chop is a beloved comfort toy for good reason — dogs are inexplicably drawn to it, and the squeaker adds engagement. However, durability is the weakest in this comparison. This is strictly a supervised play and comfort toy, not a chew toy. For gentle players and puppies, the under-$7 price makes it easily replaceable.
Strengths
- Iconic Shari Lewis character design that dogs universally seem to love
- Built-in squeaker provides auditory stimulation and sustained interest
- Available in multiple sizes from 6 inches to 24 inches
Limitations
- Plush construction is not durable — moderate chewers can destroy it in days
- Stuffing can be pulled out and ingested if the toy is torn open
- Squeaker can be extracted and become a choking hazard
