Loves it
My 17mth old tugger chewer absolutely loves this. Usually destroys toys within minutes. It’s been 2 days and no amputations to ears, head, tail etc... YET anyway. Only grumble is being offered it every few mins to play :)

Not very robust
Unfortunately this toy didn’t last much more than an hour with my 7 month GSD. I had high hopes as she has a knots teddy toy that she’s had since we got her. However this one she managed to rip straight into the stitching and pull out the knotted rope inside (the fabric is very flimsy and not strong at all). She is still enjoying supervised play with the “carcass” hence the 1 star but not really fit for purpose.

Bulldog loves it
My English bulldog puppy loved this. It lasted for ever. He now plays with just the rope as that’s all that’s left so I am getting him a new one. The squeaker is large and bright red which is good. They should all be bright colours so we can see if our dogs have them in their mouth

My dog loves this!
Literally her favourite toy!

Amazing
Our Border collie (14 month old) has adopted this toy as his baby and takes it everywhere. its durable enough for a soft toy better than most stuffed ones, requires supervision like most toys but even with a few holes in it after 3 months of having it, it is well worth the low price.
Puppy loves it but...
As per other reviews, not so robust to withstand puppy terrier puppy teeth. Managed to nearly remove one of fox’s paw (it was dangling so we pulled it off to avoid pup potentially eating it). But she does love the toy and all else in tact so far.

My Frenchies love this Fox
My Frenchies love this Fox toy and chase each other around the house with it. I will be getting them another one so we have a spare. It's a perfect size for them.
Rubbish
Had it 20mins and my cockerpoo has eaten a leg and ear and nearly choked!

Fox toy
Thought this would last like my other Kong bear, which lasted 5 months. However he destroyed it with in 2 days. But I feel now I have two toys lol. One the fur & the other is rope. The new Kong bear still alive lol
|
Rubbish
My dog chewed through this within minutes of getting it. For a kong toy its really poor. I have brought other Kong toys and products and they are made much better than this.
Disappointing!
I expected more from a Kong brand toy. Ripped to shreds within minutes & the rope inside is so easily chewed into dangerous easily swallowed long pieces!
Brilliant item
Nice item that has our pup excited to play. He loves retrieving it
poor quality
The stitching holding the head on came undone after a couple of weeks, very poor quality

Milo loves it.
My border collie loves it but the toy got destroyed in 5 minutes. I thought KONG toy will survive a lot longer 😂

2 minute wonder
dog loved it for all the two minutes it took to rip it apart.

Durability
This lasted literately 5 minutes after I gave it to my Labrador, my dog chewed through the body

Do not buy this toy!
I have a cocker spaniel, not destroyed a toy yet, but this one lasted about 1 hour. Head became detached from the body, the rope was visible but even worse, the squeaker was accessible! Had to remove the squeaker for safety. The sad thing is the dog loves the toy. Thought Kong products were meant to be good and strong.

He loves it
This toy is the most popular toy for my dog. He absolutely loves it. The touy makes sound and this is very attractive for him :)
|
Very impressed
This is by far the most durable chew toy we have bought so far for our teething 20 week old springer. Also his favourite, chews it relentlessly, and so far it has held out with no tips or tears. Other more expensive recommended ones I have had to remove on day 1. Will definitely buy again ...

Not cockapoo proof
Happy with ordering and delivery processes however I was pretty disappointed that my 10 month old cockapoo managed to destroy it within the first couple of hours. The rope was very quickly and easily extracted.

Very sturdy
Our three-year-old Staffy loves the fox. He uses it for cuddling, but also really goes to town on it for emotional control—biting, tugging, and pulling. The squeak is fairly subtle, which I find veeeery pleasant :)

Favourite toy
Our Golden Retriever girl (6 months old) loves her fox – she plays with it all the time, pulls and tugs at it. After two months of heavy use, it still hasn’t got any damage. Seems sturdy. We’ve already bought a second one for visits to Grandma :)

My dog loves it
It's their favourite toy, maybe because it looks like prey with its fur and shape. They never stop playing with it.

Unfortunately, it gave up the ghost after 7 months. My dogs loved it, at least it didn’t break after just 10 minutes.

Built to last
Interesting as a toy and my Stafford can't manage to destroy it, I rarely review products, but so far this is the only toy that hasn't given up the ghost straight away.

Super that it has a different look
My 3-month-old puppy loves it because it squeaks, stretches, and has knots. After a month, she slightly tore off the head, but I think it's very durable. The only thing that didn't match was the look of the toy (it's a bit lighter orange and the label didn't say KONG knots, just KONG). The important thing is that she likes it, I highly recommend it.

Very disappointed with this toy
My dog is a one-year-old Labrador. I bought these toys for her. I gave her one yesterday morning and it didn’t even last 10 minutes. She tore the head off, completely destroyed the plush, and almost swallowed the little squeaker inside. I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone. I actually think it should be removed from the catalogue or at least only recommended for very small dogs.

Favourite toy for 5 years!
My dog was thrilled with the fox from the very beginning and carried it around everywhere. Then it disappeared, so I ordered a second one. Now she’s had the toy in double for 5 years and carries it through the garden every day (unless she’s managed to lose it again). Even tugging hasn’t done the fox in yet. Still, I’m going to buy another one as a backup...

Dangerous
I gave this toy to my 10-year-old German Shepherd who has worn-down teeth... always under my supervision, but I looked away for 2 minutes and he bit the tail clean off and swallowed it whole... I thought the toy was sturdy, now I’m dealing with a vet emergency.

Fox
One of our favourite toys. It lasted 10 months. Only after that time did we manage to pull the string out from the inside. The squeaker still works. Since our dog has grown in the meantime, this time I’ll order a bigger size :)

Good, but not very durable
Cute fox, my dog quickly accepted it as a replacement for the teddy bear. It's better that it doesn't have any stuffing, but the rope inside is just as tempting. So first, holes were chewed into it, which I tried sewing up, but he just chewed them open again or made new ones elsewhere. After about a month, the entire rope was finally removed from it. So now, he actually has two toys :)

Favourite game :)
My puppy has been tugging and chewing on it all day, and even after a week the fox is still in one piece, even though he really doesn’t go easy on it :). Luckily, he rarely hits the squeaky part, so it’s the perfect quiet toy that keeps him entertained for ages.

broken after 5 minutes
I love Kong in general, we have a few things that are really sturdy. However, the fox only lasted 5 minutes. We've had this experience with all the fluffy toys from Kong so far, although we also have fluffy toys from other brands that hold up. We have an 8-month-old Continental Bulldog, maybe with smaller breeds it would last longer.

Lasting and versatile
The smaller version (S/M) has been a favourite for my puppy since she got it at 4 months old. After a month of playing really hard with it – tugging, chewing and all sorts – there’s still not a scratch on the toy. It’s the perfect mix of a tough toy and one you can snuggle up with. Can’t recommend it enough.
The bigger version, though, broke after just 5 days.
