KONG Aqua Floating Fetch Toy, Natural Rubber, Orange, for Medium Dogs

This is the only water toy my yellow lab has not destroyed in one play session. After a while, the rope where it meets the kong starts to fray but maybe that is more my dog's doing than the fault of the toy.

I love these kong-on-a-rope toys! They do so many things right! 1. The plastic-like woven rope attached to the toy is long enough that it makes your effective "throwing arm" very long, which means you can easily get enough momentum in a swing to throw the toy very far. 2. The weight, heavier than toys with rope knots or tennis balls or tennis-ball-type cylinders on the end, also lets even my 68-year-old mother build up enough momentum in a relaxed throw to really get some distance and give the dogs a good long run. 3. The hard rubber of the toy at the end is very resistant to chewing. 4. The toy's odd shape and rubber composition makes it bounce unpredictably when it lands, keeping the dogs guessing and sometimes making your effective throw even longer. 5. The rope is long enough that we can have three or four of our dogs running side by side with the rope in their mouths at once! Very funny, cool, and cute to see the whole doggie family running with the same toy in their mouths! 6. The rope is tough enough that our dogs trying to pull it away from each other can't tear or cut it. Sometimes they bring me the toy and don't want me to throw it again, but want to play tug of war. I'll grab the end of the rope. One, two or three dogs will grab hold, and in a rowing motion, I'll lift them one (or all) off the ground at once and swing them to the side. That can be well over 100 pounds of dogs hanging on and being swung by the teeth, and the rope is fine. And they love the ride! Our 40-pounder loves getting as many rides as I can give her before I'm pooped. I guess that's another benefit -- I get exercise too! 7. It floats. I walk the dogs by a pond, and we've lost a few non-floating toys to it. 8. The orange toy and red rope are very easy to see in green grass or in brown underbrush. A lot of our dog toys have been in that green color you see on tennis balls, and they can be so hard to find when the dogs drop them in the grass. You've got to watch them like a hawk with those, but not with these. I got both my mother and my father kong-on-a-rope toys for their dogs for Christmas because I knew they love them too, but once in a while they lose one up in a tree. I told them I wouldn't say anything if they didn't want to tell the dogs, and just chew on the toys themselves, but so far they're willing to share. They're the perfect present for the man or woman who has everything -- something for their dogs!

Doesn’t float well

My son's 4 year old Dutch Shepard destroys most toys very quickly (she's a powerful and determined chewer). Kong's are much more durable than any other toy I've found. Yes, she can destroy one, but it takes literally 100+ hours of chewing. This is a very good all-around toy. They are easy to throw a long distance with the attached rope. They float well for hours of water retrieves. And, with the below caveat, they are a good tugging toy. My only criticism of this product may be an unintended use. My son's dog loves, loves, loves to play tug above all else, eating included. As long as this toy is perfectly aligned (rope pulling straight out of the hole), during vigorous tugging, no problem. If she pulls at an angle, I've had the rope and washer pull right out of the hole as it gets stretched open. It can be re-inserted with difficulty. Two people (three preferably) and two pairs of needle nose plyers, inserted into the hole and opened to stretch the hole, with ideally a third person putting the washer end of the rope back inside. Maybe this issue could be alleviated with a larger washer? It might also not be a problem with a less powerful tugger. Other than this, I'd give this toy 5 stars for durability and function. In fact, I just bought two more.

well made my labs love them and hold up well

Lasted about 3 hours with our cane corso puppy. Probably great for small dogs but the rope was destroyed almost instantly

Excelente producto. Perfecto estado 100

It floats, and the plastic rope makes it easy to throw. The rope may be a bit long for some dogs and cause them to trip while running. I just tie knots in the rope to reduce length. Most dogs love it!

super Spielzeug für Hunde, sehr stabil. Es besteht keine Gefahr der Splitter Verletzung wie bei Holz. Ebenso besteht keine Gefahr einer Verletzung von Zahn und Zahnfleisch wie durch Tennisbälle

Es una opción fantástica para jugar con mi perro en la playa, porque resalta

I like this toy, though my dog is only got limited interest in it 🤣😂

Tengo un pitbull que acaba destrozando todo lo que le compras a no ser que sea marca kong y sea extreme. Este juguete en concreto es el que eligió como preferido, he perdido la cuenta de los que llevo comprados ya que al lanzarlo algunos acaban perdiéndose, pero no puedo dejarlo sin su juguete preferido. Es el único que acaba cansando al perro, después de habérselo estado lanzando un buen rato, y yo de paso hago brazo. En definitiva es perfecto y resistente.

Flotte … au top
