KONG - Puppy Dog Toy
Description
TL;DR: The KONG Puppy Dog Toy is a soft-rubber, stuffable chew toy made for puppies 8 weeks and up. It supports teething relief, crate training, and calm chewing at home, and comes in Medium and Large.
Puppies need a chew outlet that's gentle on developing teeth and gums. This KONG uses the brand's softest rubber formula, so your puppy can mouth and gnaw without the firmness of an adult chew toy.
It also works as a quiet enrichment tool — a useful companion to more active dog toys like the KONG - Gyro Dog Toy, or to structured downtime where calm focus matters as much as physical play.

- Stuffable interior — fill with kibble, puppy-safe paste, or small treats for longer play

Who is it for?
This toy is made for puppies in the teething stage and young dogs learning appropriate chew habits. It's a sensible first chew for new puppy parents who want a calm, crate-friendly option for downtime at home.
Feeding & use
Give it as a plain chew, or stuff it with a little wet food, plain yogurt, or small training treats to extend engagement. For longer sessions, freeze the stuffed toy — the cold can soothe sore gums during teething.
Use it during crate time to build a positive association with the crate, and rotate it with other enrichment dog toys like the KONG - Wobbler Dog Toy and the KONG - Classic Red Dog Toy to keep mental stimulation fresh. Always supervise new chewers and replace the toy if it shows damage.
Why choose a KONG for a teething puppy?
The softer rubber is built for mouths that are still developing, which is why the KONG puppy dog toy is a common starting point for early chew training. Pairing it with short enrichment sessions builds focus at home, in the crate, or before a training class.
Available for same-day pickup at our North York, Toronto storefront, or ships Canada-wide.
