Rubbish

I purchased this last week for my new fur grandbaby. I received it on the thursday. He played with it a little bit but by the Sunday he was no longer able to play with it as the head was ripped. Extremely disappointed

Destroyed in one day

After just a day, my pup managed to make a hole in it and remove one leg. I expected more from Kong 😕

Disappointed

Lasted all of 5 minutes with my border collie pup. As soon as he had it, he bit the ear off

Kong fox

Ripped 2 days cavapoo dont waste your money on these toys s

Oh no!

My 8 month old dachshund managed to completely destroy this in under 30 minutes including unravelling the rope, biting off the ears, tail and head to get the squeaker out! Complete waste of money.

Disappointing

Fox was much much smaller than expected plus did not seem to have any sound or scrunch effect at all 😟

Not a great “tug” toy.

I bought this for my 10 month old Doberman as a tug-toy and to help chewing aggression; within the first day the foxes head was completely off, the insides are durable and after some pulling and chewing, they remained intact and looked virtually untouched.

20 seconds

It was totally destroyed in 20 seconds but he squeezed it out later that day in my garden ( path)

Lasted less than 30 mins

Bought the large fox for my 7k dog and he destroyed it in half an hour. He took the squeaker out, shredded it and ripped Foxy’s throat out… shame as he really enjoyed the first and last 20 minutes of playing with him. A poor opponent for a teeny tiny dog.

Squeak doesn't work

My rescue dog loves a toy that squeaks. This is supposed to but doesn't.

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.

Rubbish

Had it 20mins and my cockerpoo has eaten a leg and ear and nearly choked!

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!

poor quality

The stitching holding the head on came undone after a couple of weeks, very poor quality

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Easily breaks

My 4.5 month old puppy has had the smaller one for a month, and we were super happy with the quality – it’s her favourite. She’s grown so much that I decided to get the bigger one for her. It broke in 5 days – half of the head is torn at the seam and the end of the rope inside is now chewable. It’s definitely not the toy she’s roughest with or plays with the most.
