We’ve had dogs of all ages–seniors, puppies and in between–and our go-to toy has always been the Kong. It keeps them busy and helps alleviate boredom when they have to be home alone. Now I’ve discovered that there’s a different Kong for every stage and need!

| Classic Puppy Extreme Senior |
As a Chewy Influencer, I got the opportunity to test and review one Kong
for each dog, to see how that particular Kong worked out for them.
Ernest is 10, and pretty mellow. He’s facing a lot of challenges of older dogs. So we chose the senior Kong for him. At one year old Petey is still basically a puppy, but he is rough on his toys and chews everything in sight, so we chose the Extreme Kong for him.
Today we’ll take a look at Ernest and the Kong Senior.
Ernest may be a senior, but he can chew his toys with gusto. I was a little worried that the senior version, made with a rubber formula that is gentler to again teeth and joints, wouldn’t hold up. When I received it I was pleased that it still felt sturdy and durable.
I stuffed the Kong with Kong Easy Treat because…well, because I’m lazy and it’s the most convenient thing to squirt inside the toy. I added a couple crunchy treats.
Ernest was excited to get to playing!
After multiple uses, the Kong Senior has absolutely no damage or chunks missing. I feel confident giving it to Ernest for play time. And Ernest absolutely loves it! We recommend Kong Senior for all your older dogs.
