A twist on the classic KONG your pup might already know and love, this KONG Stuff-A-Ball has ridges designed to clean your dog’s teeth and gums. You can add treats to the center, and it’s made of the same rubber material as the classic KONG, so it’ll be both durable and bouncy.

This highly rated and multiple-airline-approved dog carrier means there are lots of adventures ahead for the two of you!

The weighted bottom of this toy allows it to wobble as it dispenses food, making it fun for your dog to play with and giving him exercise. It fits enough food for a full meal (up to three cups) and can be used to help fast eaters slow down, or you can just fill it with treats for a fun game. 

This toy is for advanced pups! To increase the difficulty, lock the blocks with the bone-shaped pegs and let your dog learn how to get his treats in sequential order around the circle.
