    Hi, my springer has got the medium red kong and he loves it.

    I stuff it with mashed banana and kibble and sometimes carrots apple and peanut butter lol

    I dont think a springer would destroy it however my parents have a staffy and he destroys the giant extreme kong in a few days lol

    The prices are pretty much the same everywhere from what ive seen

    Hope ur springies enjoy them :)

    Our last weimy had the large black one and never managed to destroy it, he also had the red biscuit one which he found easier to get his treats out of. He also had a buster cube which was great fun for him, and a giggle ball which he destroyed after 2 uses :rolleyes: Cant remember where we got his from now, but will watch this thread as we're getting a weimy pup soon :jand will need a few to keep him occupied.

  • I'm going to get a baby Kong for my puppy, I've seen them with my friends dogs and they're great at keeping dog entertained for hours!
    Be happy, it's the greatest wealth :)

    My lab loves his puppy kong - even though he's 12 months old now!
    He actually doesn't like it with food in it. He just prefers it to chew on its own. He has sharp teeth and normally destroys toys in an hour, but the kong doesn't have a mark on it.

  • Sometimes they can be cheaper on ebay, or try petmeds.co.uk in their toy section,I think certain ones have been cheaper there!

    my biy loves his puppy kong even tho hes nearly 3 now, he destroys all other toys we get him but hasnt destroyed his kong
  • I think i large black one would be a bit large for a springer. My lab chewed the red one but its still useable, he now also has a black one. I put baby food in mine a freeze them. Keeps him occupied for ages
  • The black kong is £7.99 at petplanet.co.uk

    i used to put primula squeezy cheese in my dogs one. plus other things like a squirt or marmite, a dollop of peanut butter, if you freeze it then it will last them even longer!

    We use the kong stuffing, and freeze it, my Great danes haven't destroyed one yet.
