Highlighted Reviews
"I own a true chewer. The Kong toys are the first I’ve found that have out lasted my dog. Great job Thank you."
"Typically most Kong products hold up pretty well, this one didn’t last 5 minutes with my pup until the arm was removed. Also after looking at it closer the other hand wasn’t really hanging on well either. I wouldn’t recommend this unless your dog is only going to gum it."
Bottom Line
The Kong Monkey Toy is fun but fragile. It's best for light chewers and not worth the price for heavy chewers.
