Brilliant Toy
As a Red Fox Labrador, ‘Foxy’ was my first puppy toy and 18 mths later it is still my favourite. Other toys have been destroyed and thrown away. It has been through the washing machine many times and survives easily. I’m now being bought a new one as there is a tiny bit of wear n tear. Love it.

Inner lining shreds into swallowable threads
Given to us as a gift, not really appropriate for our staffy-x who likes to shred toys. Figured it would be safe to let him, but actually the 'crinkle lining' is not very safe as it is a kind of poly-weave and turns into stringy floss when pulled - could block a dog's gut or cause entanglement issues. Squeaker is also a swallowable size for medium dogs.
With the outer & squeaker removed, makes an ok rope toy.

Let down by bad sewing!
Wanted a tough but soft toy for my gsd pup to play tug with. He was 8 weeks old and hardly interacted with it, certainly no tug games but within first week the head came off, not due to the pup but the shoddy loose stitching that was never meant to hold a toy together let alone eventually play tug games. I have restitched head on properly and now the toy is doing fine with daily tug games with pup npw 15 weeks old and having great fun. Pitty that Kong do not check the standard of workmanship!
Scrunch Knots Fox
We bought this for our golden retriever puppy and it is long lasting. The rope on the inside is slightly stretchy which is good fun. She really enjoys playing with her fox.

Labrador spit needed
I bought this for my lab for Christmas but I am already disappointed because some bright spark (presumably the manufacturer) has put a green paper sticker on the fur of the toy. I have just spent 30 minutes trying to remove it and failing. I expect labrador spit will work but the toy looks messy even before the dog has received it.

Ripped right though
I buy a new 'strong' toy each month and yet again I am let down my cocker spaniel. He likes the toy and will play with it but, with in a couple of days it looses an ear, then a tail and them the stuffing is pulled out and it is finished with in the week.

wasted money
bought this for my 11 months old patterdale after reading reviews about it being long lasting 3 hours later it was in pieces
Waste of Money
Lasted all of a few hours with our 11 month Lab.
Excellent
Felicity Fox is a big and lasting favourite, both with our tiny puppy and with a brute of a big Flatcoat who can usually destroy any toy in two minutes flat but finds he can do nothing unpleasant to Felicity..

Destroyed in 2 hours
Read all the reviews before buying this product.....However my 7 month old Cocker Spaniel Puppy managed to wreck it in 2 hours & it has had to be thrown away. Total waste of money in our case :-(
good fun
Toy appears to be strong but is also soft. Will soon become a favourite.

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.

Good
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.

lasts longer than other toys
My dog destroys everything. This one lasts way longer than stuffed animals.

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.
