KONG Classic dog toy

The KONG Classic is the gold standard of dog toys and has become the staple for dogs around the world for over forty years. Offering enrichment by helping satisfy dogs' instinctual needs, the KONG Classic's unique all-natural red rubber formula is ultra-durable with an erratic bounce that is ideal for dogs that like to chew while also fulfilling a dog's need to play.

The brand was born in 1970 when Joe Markham noticed his dog Fritz chewing on a suspension part from a Volkswagen Bus. The unique shape and durability of the rubber part became the inspiration for the now-iconic design. Today, KONG maintains its core manufacturing in the United States, specifically in Golden, Colorado, ensuring high-quality standards and material safety for pets. The company remains a privately held American entity, continuing to innovate within the pet industry while staying true to its original mission of providing durable and engaging tools for animal health and happiness.
