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 ZippyPaws Skinny Peltz No Stuffing Squeaky Plush (Large 3-Pack)
Plush toy lovers whose owners want to avoid stuffing mess and ingestion risks
The ZippyPaws Skinny Peltz solve the biggest problem with plush toys — stuffing everywhere. The no-stuffing design means no mess when the inevitable tear happens, and three squeakers per toy keep dogs engaged. At roughly $7.60 per toy in the 3-pack, the value is solid for a plush set. Best for supervised play, not unsupervised chewing.
Strengths
- No stuffing design eliminates the mess and ingestion risk of traditional plush toys
- Three squeakers per toy provide extended auditory stimulation
- 3-pack includes fox, raccoon, and squirrel for variety
Limitations
- No-stuffing plush is still tearable by moderate to heavy chewers
- Squeakers can be extracted from torn toys — requires supervision with aggressive players
- Flat design may not appeal to dogs who prefer toys with volume and shape
