I learned the hard way that tongue size is important. I tried going by weight like the company suggests and my dog couldn't get her tongue in. Then I sized up and she almost got her tongue stuck. I sized up again and she couldn't even reach halfway. So it turns out my medium dog with a freakishly large tongue needed the XL. Her jaw doesn't fit inside thank goodness. Also, it's odd that Kong doesn't include a single sighthound in the size chart. Not even greyhounds.
The puppy kong is for the puppy. The adult kong (red) is for the adult dog. Yes, they can both be the same size depending on the size of the 2 dogs. Hope this helps. Thank you . Joyce
Youa re the first person tha has given a good in-depth explanation of the right sizes associated to a dog's breed + age. We've are picking up our new family member this weekend (Female Lab...she'll be 8 weeks old on pickup day) and I've been looking everyone on a good explanation of what size to get. I thought medium but wasn't sure but now I'm feeling more confident in that after your video. I'd like to have a few onhand and ready to go before she gets home. Thanks so much!
yes Medium Puppy (pink or blue) i usually have 3. so i always have one to fill and use. you must be so excited. a new puppy. do you have any questions. i can always help you. Check out my videos on the first night. Do you have a Snuggle puppy? Thank you, Joyce
This is absolutely the most helpful ever! I’ve used the red large for decades with my lab. His entire 15 years! Made mistakes with puppy and smaller ones for adopted puppies and a rescue chihuahua so gave up on them. Chews up red/ate the puppy size /ignored the black large. Wrong size wrong material wrong fillings! But… Summer and boredom. So I just learned for the first time ever that I should be filling and freezing them and it’s a game changer but I obviously need more than one. And now I know which size and how to use them. I feel like I cheated my ice loving lab out of a much deserved activity. Thank you for this
I am so glad you got information from the video. You will be eve. Better prepared for your next rescue. Yes, I frequently have more than 1 kong so I can freeze one and have one to fill if needed. Thank you. Joyce
How is your puppy doing with the Kong. By now your puppy may be ready yo move to the next size. Did you start with the small puppy? Is your puppy ready to move to a medium puppy. The size and width of the puppy nose and jaw determines the Kong size. Let me know how you are doing. Thank you. Joyce
Pug puppy with broader wide nose depends on the age. Small puppy if really young 3-4 months. Medium puppy if over 4 months. That is the best estimate I can give without the weight and age.Hope this helps. Joyce
Cavapoo around 10 lbs. is on the upper size for the small Kong. Small is supposed to be up to 10 pounds. Classic red kong is the correct Kong. Small or medium depends if you think your dog can reach to the bottom of the medium size Kong. Length of your dogs muzzle will determine that. Joyce
@@DiamondDogTraining - Is the small Kong the same as the blue puppy Kong? I will soon be starting out with an 8 wk old Toy Cavapoo. He is projected to grow into an 8-10 lb adult. Thanks!
Which Kong did you choose? Puppy is now larger, have you moved to the next size. Are you still using puppy Kong or have you moved to the red Classic Kong. Are you using the large kong or still using the medium. Whippet nose is long and jaw is narrow to be able to reach the bottom of a large kong, I would think by now. Thank you . Let me know how you are doing. What is your favorite Kong filling . Joyce
Hi, I will get a female Shiba Inu puppy soon but I already bought a Kong in size S. Is it too small? Should I rather buy the Kong for puppy or the medium size? Thanks in advance❤
Hi, it really depends on the size and age of your puppy. A baby puppy about 8-10 weeks. The small puppy Kong will be fine. As the puppy gets older, switch to the medium puppy Kong and then if the puppy is a strong chewer, switch to the medium classic red Kong. Hope this helps. Thank you . Joyce
Jack Russell adult should be medium size Kong. Large he may not be able to get to the bottom to the food . Depends on your dogs size and length of muzzle. Hope this helps . Joyce
Hi, The small Kong is ok for a 6 month miniature dachshund puppy. i would think very soon your puppy would be ready for a medium Kong. The small will not hold very much food. your puppy will probably empty the Kong pretty quickly.
Okay should you size up for stuffing? I have a 7-8 month old boxer mix, and am currently using a large classic Kong, she can’t get everything out though.
If she cannot get everything out of the bottom of the Kong, try putting treats in the bottom of the Kong before you put the filling in the Kong. Your dog is a Boxer mix with a short wide muzzle which makes it difficult for your dog to empty the Kong at the bottom. Let n me know how you are doing. Thank you Joyce
This was really helpful. I just adopted a pitbull mix that is an older puppy and is a massive chewer. I went right for the black large kong. It keeps her busy for about 15 minutes and she can get everything out, so I just ordered a black xl to see how that goes. Any other kong would be chewed to shreds immediately.
@@shay4101 The xl lasts a bit longer and holds more because of the bigger opening. I find it easier to clean as well. I use the large for when I'm leaving for work etc, and the xl when I am at home and need to keep my pittie busy for a little bit.
Yes, large Blue or Pink puppy Kong at 2 months. you will need to move to the large red Kong and then possibly the XLarge Black Kong. hope this helps. good luck with your puppy. Send me any questions you have. Thank you. Joyce
I have a 3 month old miniature poodle terrier mix what size should i get? I have the small puppy kong but it looks so small im scared to give it to him Im not sure how its supposed to look compared to him
Which kong did you decide to give your puppy. Has your puppy now gotten bigger so you are thinking of moving to the next size Kong. When small kong is too small, your puppy will give up and not try to get the filling out. Let me know. Thank you Joyce
This video is really helpful for me. Thanks a lot. I have a 1 year old Shitzu of weight 17 pounds. Can you please recommend which size kong can I buy for her and can I use the classic one? Thanks!!
Hi Guys, just to explain. When I talked about the Labradoodle and Goldendoodle, I was thinking of the full size Labradoodle and Goldendoodle. if your puppy is a medium size or small Goldendoodle or Labradoodle, the size of the Kong would be small or medium. Thank you. Joyce
Thank you for the in depth explanations for kong toys. I didn't know there were so many types and sizes, and even one for seniors! Two beagle puppies I look after who are now 8 months old. One is a bigger boy who weighs closer to 30 pounds. The female is maybe half that size. The boy is an aggressive chewer. Should I move him up to the large puppy? The kongs originally bought were puppy small. Too small now for them. I was thinking the female should move up to medium puppy. The large puppy for her may be too much of a risk for getting her lower jaw stuck.Both pups are still teething.
Thank you. 8 months of age both the puppies are almost done teething. I would move to the classic red Kong medium size for the female as long as she is over 10pounds. The male at 30 pounds could have the medium size red or for an aggressive chewer, you might want the black extreme Kong. Hope this helps. Joyce
@@DiamondDogTraining Thank you. it does and I will pass it on to the pet parents. I think the male pup is more of a destructive chewer than an aggressive chewer. I get them mixed up. They are both destructive chewers but one more so than the other. That’s why I suggested Kongs. Maybe this will help the male to stop chewing on his blankets!
I'm adopting an 8 week old bernese mountain dog puppy soon. I'm wondering if I can just skip the medium puppy kong and go straight to the classic medium kong?
7 month Aussie would be a classic Red Kong because puppy is finishing teething. Size could be medium or large depending on male or female and size of your puppy. Thank you Joyce
Hi, i would use the small Puppy Kong (pink or blue) for your puppy. Watch to see if your puppy starts to chew the top of the Kong. If he does chew, switch to the small Classic Kong (red) . hope this helps. When your puppy reaches 10-12 lbs. I would switch to a medium sized Kong. Thank you, Joyce
Hi thank you for the informative video. What size Kong for a 5-year-old 8 lbs. chihuahua in good health, just rescued? At what age are dogs seniors? TY
hi Maria, The Red Classic Small Kong should be fine for your dog. Because your dog is a rescue, he may not have had regular dental care. i would move to the senior kong when your dog has problem with losing teeth or dental disease. Hope this helps. Joyce
Hello, thanks for your video! What should I buy for my adult french bulldog 13kgs - he used to have a puppy Kong bone when he was little and he did not destroy it, but the past few years he did not have a Kong. He is a strong chewer. Also, for my other dog who is a german shepherd mix 15 yrs old, I should buy the senior version size L, correct? Thanks for your help! 🙏🏽
28 lb French Bulldog should be medium red Classic and older dog would either be red Classic large or senior large. Not sure how elderly your dog is. Thank you . Joyce
Which Kong did you choose for the 15 year old dog. I have never given the senior kong to a dog. If you are using the senior, how does your dog like the Kong. Thank you . Joyce
I’m struggling with the Kong seniors because my senior shepherd mix is 80+ lbs but the large says 30-65lbs 😢 but they don’t make any XL for seniors, would the large still be fine?
do you have an X- Large Red to try to see if your dog can work with the Kong to get the filling out. i think i would try the xlarge first in the Classic, .
14 pounds is right at the edge of the small kong. If your dog has trouble getting the food from the bottom or emptied the kong so quickly, I would try the medium red kong. Let me know which kong works for your dog. Thank you. Joyce
Red Classic unless the dog is a really strong chewer then the black ultra. Small or medium depends on the length of the muzzle. Shorter nose wound need the medium. Long narrow nose probably the small.
I would think a medium puppy Kong would be the right size. A 7 week old puppy is very young to be away from its litter and mom. If you have more questions, please ask me. Joyce
hi, i have a pomeranian 4 months, bear type.. which one is best? small red? or the puppy type light blue? btw ur vid is very detailed... though i just wanna make sure 😊
Hi! The video is great but I'm still a bit unsure. Which Kong size and color do you recommend for a samoyed puppy and later for an adult? They are heavy chewers. Thank you in advance!
Samoyed puppy between 3- 4 months probably the medium puppy Kong. Over 4 months probably the large red or black kong depending on how strong the chewer. hope this helps.
Hello, I’m getting an 8 week old biewer terrier puppy, is a small puppy kong right choice for now? and when should I size up or switch to the classic or a senior kong?
Yes, I would think a small puppy kong would be the right size for a few weeks then switch to medium puppy kong. After that to classic medium. If your puppy starts to chew the top of puppy kong, switch to classic medium earlier . I would not use the senior kong until my dog is an older adult. Years from now. The ultra black kong you may need to use if your adult or older puppy starts to chew the top of the red classic kong. It depends on the size of your puppy if you ever switch to a large kong . I would think the medium would be large enough for a biewer terrier . Hope this helps . Tell me more about your puppy. Joyce
Hi which one would you recommend for an 8 week old french bulldog? I've bought a medium extreme but I'm concerned it may be too harsh on their teeth/jaw
I would put the extreme away and start with the Puppy medium . Only when the puppy started to chew the rubber would I switch to the extreme. You may be able to skip the red classic and move straight to the extreme. Let me know about your puppy. Thank you. Joyce
I think that is about 14 lbs. medium Kong is best for over 10 lbs. puppy which is pink or blue and for adult red classic medium. . Hope this helps . Thank you . Joyce
what age. 2 month- small, 3 month medium, 4 month could be medium or large possibly depending on the size of your puppy and male or female. hop this helps. more information you give me, the better answer I can give you. thank you, Joyce
Hiii. Thank you for a very informative video! I have 4mons husky puppy, is it okay if I jump into extreme large size? or what do you recommend? Thank youuu.
Is your puppy chewing the top of the puppy kong. That would determine if you bypass the classic Kong. If puppy licks the puppy Kong with no chewing on the Kong, not getting pieces off the Kong, then I would try the Large Classic before going to extreme. The extreme is so tuff and your puppy is still teething. Hope this helps. Let me know how you are doing. Thank you.
Joyce I have a 3 month old Saluki, her nose is very narrow and long but she is already 10kg and growing rapidly, what would be a useful size for her please?
Hello, 10 kg is about 22 lbs. the medium Kong is up to 35 lbs. with her narrow nose, I think she can stay with the medium puppy Kong for a few more weeks. Hope this helps. What is her favorite filling. Thank you . Joyce
a small puppy kong is the right size for a 9 wk old Yorkie. The weight for the small is up to 10 pounds. your puppy should be happy with the small for a long time. Thank you. Joyce
Size should be medium if your dog weighs over 10 lbs. Red Classic or if really strong chewer the black ultra. Also try the bully stick with Bonivet holder to satisfy chewing. See my video on Bonivet bully stick . I use the small purple holder for my small dogs. Let me know how you are doing. Thank you . Joyce
i just adopted a 6 year old pug she weighs 5.4kg perfect weight so my vet says (im still learning as i go) i have only had her 2 weeks and she just had her spay surgery... so im looking for something to stuff with healthy foods and pastes to keep her busy but not too jumpy.... im guessing she needs a senior kong but which size do i get? thanks 😊
Hi Donna, the kong says up to 10lbs or about 5 kg for small kong. I would think the small Classic Kong. I don’t think she needs the senior unless she has a lot of teeth missing and has a mouth issue . The senior is softer for a senior dog. The classic red Kong is for an adult dog. Hope this helps. Fill the kong with healthy foods and she will relax and enjoy laying down to help her recover from surgery . What are you filling Kong with. Think you Joyce
@@DiamondDogTraining i was thinking maybe reserve a bit of her regular dry food to put in the bottom then add some mashed banana plain yogurt grated carrot apple chopped small some peas a bit of her regular food soaked in water to soften followed by 1 of her small treats then a small bit of doggie peanut butter to finish and partly freeze it so its not too solid but takes her a bit of time to finish it
Hi Donna, that sounds like great filling for the Kong. If she has never had a Kong, make it easy at first. I would put a little of the mixture on your finger and let her lick it. Then put some o the opening of the Kong to lick and then around the edges and finally fill the kong. Another thing she might like is the Lickimat. You can smear the mixture on the mat and she can lick it. My girls get their breakfast in a Kong and dinner on a Lickimat every day. You can see a video on the Lickimat on my channel. Let me know how you are doing. Good luck with your new girl. Best Joyce
Bullmastiff puppy with a broad mouth and nose and strong jaw. Your puppy will outgrow the first size very quickly. start with either a medium puppy Kong or large puppy or large classic if your puppy is chewing the puppy rubber because it is too soft. Very soon i would think your puppy will need the black extreme Kong in all sizes. Thank you for all of your nice comments. Let me know if you have more questions. What other chews do you have for your puppy. Thank you, Joyce
@@DiamondDogTraining Thanks for the advice. I purchased a bunch of different Nylabone chews (non-edible) and different toys to keep him busy. I didn't get him yet but I'm preparing for his arrival. I've created my puppy schedule which I've used in the past with success. It helps you know you're on the right track every day.
Hi I was wondering if you knew what type of kong I would use for my 2 year old golden retriever I’m adopting a 2 year old golden retriever from the shelter soon Kindest regards
Adult Golden should be large or x large red Classic or Black Extreme depending on size, male or female and strength of chewing. Let me know more information. Thank you . Good luck with your dog. Any questions, please leave a comment Joyce
What size would you recommend for a 16 lb and 20 lb West Highland White Terrier? They haven't seemed that interested in kongs even without freezing and maybe it's because the size is wrong. So I switched to using bully sticks when I'm going to be gone but they upset their tummy's and are expensive. I'd like to try frozen kongs if I can get them to enjoy them. Thank you.
The size I would use is medium. Pink or blue Puppy if the dog has not finished teething and red Classic if an adult. Keep trying to find something the dogs like to lick before you freeze the kong. Hope this helps . Joyce
medium puppy kong now. The next Kong will probably be a large classic because the puppy kong will be too soft and your puppy in a couple weeks will be too strong for the puppy kong.
3month old husky. If he is a real strong chewer, i would probably try the Puppy Large first to give him a larger Kong which would be harder to chew. soon he will need the Red Classic Kong. Thank you, Joyce
Hi Brigette, I would use the medium classic (red) Kong for both dogs. The 6 month old will be finished teething soon. Thank you for your comment. What is your dog’s favorite filler for the Kong. Joyce
This is such an important information which we can't find anywhere. What size should I choose for my 3+ months old Parson Russel Terrier. Thanks in advance, Mani
What does she weigh. I would look at the length of her mouth and the width. 3 month old Parsons Terrier weight between 6-8 lbs. could be small puppy Kong. As she gets older over 10-12 - 15 lbs. she would need a medium Kong. Hope this helps. Thank you . Joyce
Your puppy is much larger now. Remember to move to the next larger size to accommodate the width and length and strength of jaw. Which size are you using now. What size abs color are you considering to use next. Let me know. Thank you . Joyce
Hello, I would think at the moment, the Small Puppy Kong would be the best size for your puppy. Eventually your puppy will need a medium size when he/she gets a little larger.
Hi Miriam, the medium classic Kong is for dogs weighing up to 35lbs. I would suggest the large Classic Red Kong for your dog. Thank you for your comment. What is your dog’s favorite filling in the Kong. Joyce
Hi, Puppy Kong (pink or blue). The size depends on how big your puppy is and a little on the length of your dog's nose. Measure the small Kong on your dog's face like I did with Nicky, Measure the Medium Kong the same way. The Kong that is the length of your puppy's mouth is the right size to use now. You will be using the medium kong soon. Hope this helps. Joyce
I have found the x small does not have any room for filling. I would try the small puppy kong . Let me know which Kong is working for your puppy . Thank you . Joyce
Thank you for this very helpful information, can you please tell me which size of Kong for a 9 month old Staffordshire bull/ Sharpei puppy. I was thinking of the XXL black kong, as he has wrecked every toy within minutes, every time. Thank you.
Yes, I agree the black extreme Kong. I am not sure he needs the XXL. We want him to reach the bottom of the kong to eat the filling. I would say to look at the XL Black Kong first. Stafford shire bull and Sharpei sounds to me like a medium sized dog with very strong jaws. Hope this helps. Joyce
@@DiamondDogTraining Thank you very much for your reply. To be honest, after I watched your video, I was thinking that the XXL might be too deep for him to empty, so I’ll definitely take your advice and purchase the XL, Thank you so much for your help 😘
I know this is a older video but i was wondering i have a Jack Russell terrier thats aroun 10-11yrs old. Didnt see you mention one of them in the video unless i missed it and acrolled through comments and havent seen anyone ask about one. I was thinking the large size would be the correct size but just wanted to get a better opinion.
Hi, Jack Russel between 10-20 pounds should be a medium size. Older dog could be a red classic or a purple senior depending on your dog's teeth and chewing. Thank you. Joyce
medium puppy kong now and soon the large puppy Kong at 3 1/2 to 4 months depending on how quickly your puppy grows. if your puppy is a strong chewer switch to the classic Kong at that time.
Thank you for this amazing video! I have a 10-years old Yorkiemix (7 kg = ~15,4 pounds) without any theeth-he is a rescue. He loves chewing and it calms him. What kong would you recommend? Best wishes from Austria
Hi, they have a purple Kong for senior dogs. I think the Purple small or medium depending on if your dog has a long narrow face or a broad wider face. Narrow face the Small and wider face the Medium size. Hope that makes sense. Thank you, Joyce
Hi Mimi, how much does your puppy weigh. Cockapoo can be different sizes as adults . I really think the first Kong I would buy is the small puppy Kong. But after that , I would always buy the Medium Puppy Kong until your puppy finishes teething about 6-7 months. Then your puppy would need red Classic medium Kong. If your puppy is from toy poodle and cocker spaniel, then your puppy will be smaller and maybe you will need the small Kong for a few months. Sorry to be so vague. Size and Weight are important. Thank you Joyce
Hi Mimi, the video live today will show you how to introduce and many recipes. Let me know your favorite Kong Recipe. Thanks Joyce ruclips.net/video/nZnirI67EgA/видео.html
Classic Red Kong is for adult dogs. Small for dogs under 10lbs. Medium is for dogs between 10-30 lbs. 10 Kilos is 22 lbs. Right? so Medium Classic Kong is best. Thank you, Joyce
What size Kong would you recommend for a 8-week old bernedoodle puppy in the 6-10 lb range? (We haven’t made our selection from the litter yet). Thank you!
Hi Kayla, if the puppy is 9-10 lbs. I would recommend the medium puppy Kong. Under 8-9 lbs. possibly the small, but the shape of the face would decide. If the head is broad at the nose, I would use the medium. Hope this helps/
I heard kong was founded from a guy who started a dong factory,it failed so he kept all the machinery to make the dongs,since they was a flop he changed the molds and started making dog toys called kong.
Hi. Thank you for this video. I have an 18 month old male Rottweiler who loves chewing and destroys all his toys. What size Kong will you recommend for him? Thank you.
Hi Noelle, i would suggest XXLarge Ultra Black Kong. Also possibly largest raw Knuckle bones you can find. Knuckle bones are softer than Marrow bones so the bone should not be too hard to chip teeth. What chews are you using now for your dog? Let me know, maybe I can give you more suggestions. Thank you. Joyce
Thank you, Nicky is a dream. She just knows what she needs to do before I ask her. Thank you for your nice comment. It is amazing she was in 3 other homes before I found her. I am so lucky to have found her.
what does your dog weigh, how large is his mouth/ size determines what size kong. possibly a large classic if he is not a real strong chewer. if he is then the ultra black Kong. Joyce
Hi Elia, i would suggest you try the Medium Puppy Kong. A Golden Retriever puppy even at 8 weeks is going to have a broad muzzle and find it difficult to empty the small Kong. In the Medium Kong, you may need to stir up the food on the bottom or put some treats in the bottom to help your puppy reach the filling. if someone gave you a small puppy Kong, you could use it for 2-3 weeks, but I would not buy the small. You will definitely need to move to the medium Puppy Kong around 10-12 weeks. The small is for dogs under 10 lbs. You should be able to use the medium puppy kong until at least 4 months especially because you mention she is a female and should be smaller than a 4 month old male. What is your puppy's favorite filling? how are you using the Kong? I would love to hear from you. Thank you. Joyce
Hi Danielle, Frenchies can be different weights . Is it a male Or female . How large is your dog? Does your dog really like to chew bones and chews. One year old French Bulldog would be either red Classic or Black Extreme. Size would be medium for smaller dog and large size for bigger dogs. Sorry. But I can be more specific if you give me more details. Thank you. Joyce
I am glad the video helped you choose the right size. What size dog do you have? What size Kong did you choose for your dog? Thank you. I really appreciate the feed back to help me to plan future videos. Joyce
Does a medium sound like a good size for a pair of 10 month chihuahua/dachshund mix. One of them is bigger dachshund leaning (tho I joke that he looks more like a jack russell) and the other is more chihuahua leaning. the small I got them looks like a choking hazard. Edit: forgot to mention they both are extreme chewers
yes, i would think the medium size. Extreme chewers may need the Black Kong. you can tell if you need Black, if you have a red Kong and they start to chew the top of the rubber of the Kong. Let me know what you decide. Thank you. Joyce

I learned the hard way that tongue size is important. I tried going by weight like the company suggests and my dog couldn't get her tongue in. Then I sized up and she almost got her tongue stuck. I sized up again and she couldn't even reach halfway. So it turns out my medium dog with a freakishly large tongue needed the XL. Her jaw doesn't fit inside thank goodness.

Great video! What size should I get for a 2 month old mini poodle blue Merle?
How is your puppy doing with the Kong. By now your puppy may be ready yo move to the next size. Did you start with the small puppy? Is your puppy ready to move to a medium puppy. The size and width of the puppy nose and jaw determines the Kong size. Let me know how you are doing. Thank you. Joyce
Thank you so much! Just what I needed.
Glad the video helped you
Hello.somebody help me pls.Which one for the pug puppy?
Pug puppy with broader wide nose depends on the age. Small puppy if really young 3-4 months. Medium puppy if over 4 months. That is the best estimate I can give without the weight and age.Hope this helps. Joyce

Thank you for the very helpful video! What size do you think for a cavapoo mini thats 10 lbs and 1 1/2 years old? Thanks again!
Cavapoo around 10 lbs. is on the upper size for the small Kong. Small is supposed to be up to 10 pounds. Classic red kong is the correct Kong. Small or medium depends if you think your dog can reach to the bottom of the medium size Kong. Length of your dogs muzzle will determine that.
Joyce

What should i choose for my 6month old whippet?
Which Kong did you choose? Puppy is now larger, have you moved to the next size. Are you still using puppy Kong or have you moved to the red Classic Kong.

Hi, it really depends on the size and age of your puppy. A baby puppy about 8-10 weeks. The small puppy Kong will be fine. As the puppy gets older, switch to the medium puppy Kong and then if the puppy is a strong chewer, switch to the medium classic red Kong. Hope this helps. Thank you . Joyce
Extremely helpful. What should I get for a 5 month border collie pup
male or female? size can vary in your breed. probably a large. but it depends on the size of the muzzle and the head. joyce
Hi there! What size do I get for my 5 year old Jack Russell? I bought the black, medium sized. But I’m now I’m thinking if it’s too small 😢😭😭
Jack Russell adult should be medium size Kong. Large he may not be able to get to the bottom to the food . Depends on your dogs size and length of muzzle. Hope this helps . Joyce
Hi! Is small okay for my 6 mths miniature dachshund? When do i change to medium
Hi, The small Kong is ok for a 6 month miniature dachshund puppy. i would think very soon your puppy would be ready for a medium Kong. The small will not hold very much food. your puppy will probably empty the Kong pretty quickly.
Okay should you size up for stuffing? I have a 7-8 month old boxer mix, and am currently using a large classic Kong, she can’t get everything out though.
If she cannot get everything out of the bottom of the Kong, try putting treats in the bottom of the Kong before you put the filling in the Kong. Your dog is a Boxer mix with a short wide muzzle which makes it difficult for your dog to empty the Kong at the bottom. Let n me know how you are doing. Thank you
Joyce
This was really helpful. I just adopted a pitbull mix that is an older puppy and is a massive chewer. I went right for the black large kong. It keeps her busy for about 15 minutes and she can get everything out, so I just ordered a black xl to see how that goes. Any other kong would be chewed to shreds immediately.
Good Decision. Joyce
How did it go with the xl? I wanna get it for mine
@@shay4101 The xl lasts a bit longer and holds more because of the bigger opening. I find it easier to clean as well. I use the large for when I'm leaving for work etc, and the xl when I am at home and need to keep my pittie busy for a little bit.
Hello,
I have a 10 yr old pug, and a 12 yr old bosto terrier pug, which kong do you recommend? Thank you un advance.
Thank you, both dogs can either have senior ( purple) Kongs or stronger chewer could have red Classic. Size is probably medium . Joyce
What size to buy for chiweenie puppy 4 month old or should I wait til full growth
Puppy kong pink or blue. Don’t wait . Puppy kong is great for teething. Depending on puppy size whether small or medium. Thank you. Joyce
I'm getting a st bernard puppy at 2 months old. What kong do i get? One large puppy kong to begin with?
Yes, large Blue or Pink puppy Kong at 2 months. you will need to move to the large red Kong and then possibly the XLarge Black Kong. hope this helps. good luck with your puppy. Send me any questions you have. Thank you. Joyce
I have a 3 month old miniature poodle terrier mix what size should i get? I have the small puppy kong but it looks so small im scared to give it to him Im not sure how its supposed to look compared to him
Terrier mix could make your dog too large for a small kong. How much does your dog weigh.
Informative video ! Love the way your dog sitting :)For a 2yr old beagle which size should i go for !
i would say a medium classic (Red color.) would be a good size for your Beagle. Yes, when we video, Nicky loves to sit and watch everything. joyce
I have a Havapoo he is 6month what kong should i use
Havapoo might be medium red Kong.
i have 3 month old havanese/yorkie mix that weighs 10 pounds which kong would you recommend ?
Which kong did you decide to give your puppy. Has your puppy now gotten bigger so you are thinking of moving to the next size Kong. When small kong is too small, your puppy will give up and not try to get the filling out. Let me know. Thank you Joyce
This video is really helpful for me. Thanks a lot. I have a 1 year old Shitzu of weight 17 pounds. Can you please recommend which size kong can I buy for her and can I use the classic one? Thanks!!
Yes, definitely medium classic
Hi Guys, just to explain. When I talked about the Labradoodle and Goldendoodle, I was thinking of the full size Labradoodle and Goldendoodle. if your puppy is a medium size or small Goldendoodle or Labradoodle, the size of the Kong would be small or medium. Thank you. Joyce
Thank you for the in depth explanations for kong toys. I didn't know there were so many types and sizes, and even one for seniors! Two beagle puppies I look after who are now 8 months old. One is a bigger boy who weighs closer to 30 pounds. The female is maybe half that size. The boy is an aggressive chewer. Should I move him up to the large puppy? The kongs originally bought were puppy small. Too small now for them. I was thinking the female should move up to medium puppy. The large puppy for her may be too much of a risk for getting her lower jaw stuck.Both pups are still teething.
Thank you. 8 months of age both the puppies are almost done teething. I would move to the classic red Kong medium size for the female as long as she is over 10pounds. The male at 30 pounds could have the medium size red or for an aggressive chewer, you might want the black extreme Kong.
Hope this helps. Joyce
@@DiamondDogTraining Thank you. it does and I will pass it on to the pet parents. I think the male pup is more of a destructive chewer than an aggressive chewer. I get them mixed up. They are both destructive chewers but one more so than the other. That’s why I suggested Kongs. Maybe this will help the male to stop chewing on his blankets!
@@liveyouryoga glad I can help. Joyce
I'm adopting an 8 week old bernese mountain dog puppy soon. I'm wondering if I can just skip the medium puppy kong and go straight to the classic medium kong?

What size would u recommend for a 7 months aussie?
7 month Aussie would be a classic Red Kong because puppy is finishing teething. Size could be medium or large depending on male or female and size of your puppy.
Thank you Joyce
Hello, what would you recommend for a 4 month old jack russell terrier, around 7 lbs as of date? Thank you.
Hi, i would use the small Puppy Kong (pink or blue) for your puppy. Watch to see if your puppy starts to chew the top of the Kong. If he does chew, switch to the small Classic Kong (red) . hope this helps. When your puppy reaches 10-12 lbs. I would switch to a medium sized Kong. Thank you, Joyce
Hi thank you for the informative video. What size Kong for a 5-year-old 8 lbs. chihuahua in good health, just rescued? At what age are dogs seniors? TY
hi Maria,
The Red Classic Small Kong should be fine for your dog. Because your dog is a rescue, he may not have had regular dental care. i would move to the senior kong when your dog has problem with losing teeth or dental disease. Hope this helps. Joyce
Hi thanks for this amazing info. I was wondering what Kong do I get for my 8week cavapoo?
Small puppy Kong. That would be a pink or blue small kong. Hope this helps. Thank you. Joyce
Would the XL be good for my 5-year-old 95lb lab retriever?
yes, should be a good size. Black or red depending on how strong the jaw.

Hello, thanks for your video! What should I buy for my adult french bulldog 13kgs - he used to have a puppy Kong bone when he was little and he did not destroy it, but the past few years he did not have a Kong. He is a strong chewer.
Also, for my other dog who is a german shepherd mix 15 yrs old, I should buy the senior version size L, correct?
Thanks for your help! 🙏🏽
28 lb French Bulldog should be medium red Classic and older dog would either be red Classic large or senior large. Not sure how elderly your dog is. Thank you . Joyce
@@DiamondDogTraining thanks for your reply! Older one is 15 but you wouldn’t tell she is active compared to her age. 😊
Which Kong did you choose for the 15 year old dog. I have never given the senior kong to a dog. If you are using the senior, how does your dog like the Kong. Thank you . Joyce
Thanks for your great information much appreciated!
I am glad the video helped you to choose the correct size Kong. Thank you . Joyce
I’m struggling with the Kong seniors because my senior shepherd mix is 80+ lbs but the large says 30-65lbs 😢 but they don’t make any XL for seniors, would the large still be fine?
do you have an X- Large Red to try to see if your dog can work with the Kong to get the filling out. i think i would try the xlarge first in the Classic, .
I have a 1 year old 14 lbs Daschund Mix. Is small ok?
14 pounds is right at the edge of the small kong. If your dog has trouble getting the food from the bottom or emptied the kong so quickly, I would try the medium red kong. Let me know which kong works for your dog. Thank you. Joyce
Hello I have a 8 yo and a 10 yo terrier chihuahua mixes about 10-12 pounds in weight each which size should I get them please?
Red Classic unless the dog is a really strong chewer then the black ultra. Small or medium depends on the length of the muzzle. Shorter nose wound need the medium. Long narrow nose probably the small.
I have a 7 week old American Pitbull Terrier mix with a Rotwiler which do I use?
I would think a medium puppy Kong would be the right size. A 7 week old puppy is very young to be away from its litter and mom. If you have more questions, please ask me. Joyce
hi, i have a pomeranian 4 months, bear type.. which one is best? small red? or the puppy type light blue? btw ur vid is very detailed... though i just wanna make sure 😊

Hi! The video is great but I'm still a bit unsure. Which Kong size and color do you recommend for a samoyed puppy and later for an adult? They are heavy chewers. Thank you in advance!
Samoyed puppy between 3- 4 months probably the medium puppy Kong. Over 4 months probably the large red or black kong depending on how strong the chewer. hope this helps.
@@DiamondDogTraining Thank you so much!
Hello, I’m getting an 8 week old biewer terrier puppy, is a small puppy kong right choice for now? and when should I size up or switch to the classic or a senior kong?
Yes, I would think a small puppy kong would be the right size for a few weeks then switch to medium puppy kong. After that to classic medium. If your puppy starts to chew the top of puppy kong, switch to classic medium earlier . I would not use the senior kong until my dog is an older adult. Years from now. The ultra black kong you may need to use if your adult or older puppy starts to chew the top of the red classic kong. It depends on the size of your puppy if you ever switch to a large kong . I would think the medium would be large enough for a biewer terrier . Hope this helps . Tell me more about your puppy. Joyce
This helped a lot, Thank you so much. Will let you know how my puppy likes it🥰
I would love to hear from you
Hi which one would you recommend for an 8 week old french bulldog? I've bought a medium extreme but I'm concerned it may be too harsh on their teeth/jaw
I would put the extreme away and start with the Puppy medium . Only when the puppy started to chew the rubber would I switch to the extreme. You may be able to skip the red classic and move straight to the extreme. Let me know about your puppy. Thank you. Joyce
@@DiamondDogTraining thank you very much! And she's a lilac and tan female absolutely beautiful :)

Joyce
Hiii. Thank you for a very informative video! I have 4mons husky puppy, is it okay if I jump into extreme large size? or what do you recommend? Thank youuu.
Is your puppy chewing the top of the puppy kong. That would determine if you bypass the classic Kong. If puppy licks the puppy Kong with no chewing on the Kong, not getting pieces off the Kong, then I would try the Large Classic before going to extreme. The extreme is so tuff and your puppy is still teething. Hope this helps. Let me know how you are doing. Thank you.
Hello , i have 3 years pug & French bulldog, both are 22lb , which kong size should i buy
medium Red classic kongs for both unless one of them is a really strong chewer, then the black Extreme Medium Kong
My dog is a puppy and not even 2 kilos so what would you advice? Pomeranian/papillon mix she’s four month. She’s tiny and been looking at puppy small
Yes, puppy small would be the correct size.
@@DiamondDogTraining thank you!
Ask me any questions you have about using the Kong
Joyce I have a 3 month old Saluki, her nose is very narrow and long but she is already 10kg and growing rapidly, what would be a useful size for her please?

Awesome that you would answer so many questions in the comments!!!
Thank you, I always try to answer people.
Is the small kong too small for a 9 week old yorkie? Or should i get a medium puppy kong to last her?
a small puppy kong is the right size for a 9 wk old Yorkie. The weight for the small is up to 10 pounds. your puppy should be happy with the small for a long time. Thank you. Joyce
What size should I get for a female 5 year old shih tzu? She is still strong and loves to chew
Size should be medium if your dog weighs over 10 lbs. Red Classic or if really strong chewer the black ultra. Also try the bully stick with Bonivet holder to satisfy chewing. See my video on Bonivet bully stick . I use the small purple holder for my small dogs. Let me know how you are doing. Thank you . Joyce

i just adopted a 6 year old pug she weighs 5.4kg perfect weight so my vet says (im still learning as i go) i have only had her 2 weeks and she just had her spay surgery... so im looking for something to stuff with healthy foods and pastes to keep her busy but not too jumpy.... im guessing she needs a senior kong but which size do i get? thanks 😊
Hi Donna, the kong says up to 10lbs or about 5 kg for small kong. I would think the small Classic Kong. I don’t think she needs the senior unless she has a lot of teeth missing and has a mouth issue . The senior is softer for a senior dog. The classic red Kong is for an adult dog. Hope this helps. Fill the kong with healthy foods and she will relax and enjoy laying down to help her recover from surgery . What are you filling Kong with. Think you Joyce
@@DiamondDogTraining i was thinking maybe reserve a bit of her regular dry food to put in the bottom then add some mashed banana plain yogurt grated carrot apple chopped small some peas a bit of her regular food soaked in water to soften followed by 1 of her small treats then a small bit of doggie peanut butter to finish and partly freeze it so its not too solid but takes her a bit of time to finish it
Hi Donna, that sounds like great filling for the Kong. If she has never had a Kong, make it easy at first. I would put a little of the mixture on your finger and let her lick it. Then put some o the opening of the Kong to lick and then around the edges and finally fill the kong. Another thing she might like is the Lickimat. You can smear the mixture on the mat and she can lick it. My girls get their breakfast in a Kong and dinner on a Lickimat every day. You can see a video on the Lickimat on my channel. Let me know how you are doing. Good luck with your new girl. Best Joyce

Hello. What size should I get for a 10 week Bull Mastiff puppy?
Bullmastiff puppy with a broad mouth and nose and strong jaw. Your puppy will outgrow the first size very quickly. start with either a medium puppy Kong or large puppy or large classic if your puppy is chewing the puppy rubber because it is too soft. Very soon i would think your puppy will need the black extreme Kong in all sizes. Thank you for all of your nice comments. Let me know if you have more questions. What other chews do you have for your puppy. Thank you, Joyce
@@DiamondDogTraining Thanks for the advice. I purchased a bunch of different Nylabone chews (non-edible) and different toys to keep him busy. I didn't get him yet but I'm preparing for his arrival. I've created my puppy schedule which I've used in the past with success. It helps you know you're on the right track every day.
Hi I was wondering if you knew what type of kong I would use for my 2 year old golden retriever I’m adopting a 2 year old golden retriever from the shelter soon
Kindest regards
Adult Golden should be large or x large red Classic or Black Extreme depending on size, male or female and strength of chewing. Let me know more information. Thank you . Good luck with your dog. Any questions, please leave a comment Joyce
What size would you recommend for a 16 lb and 20 lb West Highland White Terrier? They haven't seemed that interested in kongs even without freezing and maybe it's because the size is wrong. So I switched to using bully sticks when I'm going to be gone but they upset their tummy's and are expensive. I'd like to try frozen kongs if I can get them to enjoy them. Thank you.
The size I would use is medium. Pink or blue Puppy if the dog has not finished teething and red Classic if an adult. Keep trying to find something the dogs like to lick before you freeze the kong.
Hope this helps . Joyce
@@DiamondDogTraining Thank you so much Joyce!

Hello I’ve got a 10 week old Rottweiler witch size should I use
medium puppy kong now. The next Kong will probably be a large classic because the puppy kong will be too soft and your puppy in a couple weeks will be too strong for the puppy kong.
Thanks
What do you recommend for 3 month old husky? I’m still unsure on what to get and I’m afraid the medium puppy might be too soft
3month old husky. If he is a real strong chewer, i would probably try the Puppy Large first to give him a larger Kong which would be harder to chew. soon he will need the Red Classic Kong. Thank you, Joyce
I needed this video a long time ago, thanks so much for it, very detailed.

What does she weigh. I would look at the length of her mouth and the width. 3 month old Parsons Terrier weight between 6-8 lbs. could be small puppy

How about for miniature poodle 3 month old puppy, what size kong is advisable?
Hi, Puppy Kong (pink or blue). The size depends on how big your puppy is and a little on the length of your dog's nose. Measure the small Kong on your dog's face like I did with Nicky, Measure the Medium Kong the same way. The Kong that is the length of your puppy's mouth is the right size to use now.

Thank you for this very helpful information, can you please tell me which size of Kong for a 9 month old Staffordshire bull/ Sharpei puppy. I was thinking of the XXL black kong, as he has wrecked every toy within minutes, every time. Thank you.
Yes, I agree the black extreme Kong. I am not sure he needs the XXL. We want him to reach the bottom of the kong to eat the filling. I would say to look at the XL Black Kong first. Stafford shire bull and Sharpei sounds to me like a medium sized dog with very strong jaws. Hope this helps. Joyce
@@DiamondDogTraining Thank you very much for your reply. To be honest, after I watched your video, I was thinking that the XXL might be too deep for him to empty, so I’ll definitely take your advice and purchase the XL, Thank you so much for your help 😘

I know this is a older video but i was wondering i have a Jack Russell terrier thats aroun 10-11yrs old. Didnt see you mention one of them in the video unless i missed it and acrolled through comments and havent seen anyone ask about one. I was thinking the large size would be the correct size but just wanted to get a better opinion.
Hi, Jack Russel between 10-20 pounds should be a medium size. Older dog could be a red classic or a purple senior depending on your dog's teeth and chewing. Thank you. Joyce
@@DiamondDogTraining thanks, I actually went to the store yesterday and looked at the large and instantly knew it was to big and picked up medium Red
@@klutch4878good choice. What is your favorite filling.
My husky pup is 3months old which size is best
medium puppy kong now and soon the large puppy Kong at 3 1/2 to 4 months depending on how quickly your puppy grows. if your puppy is a strong chewer switch to the classic Kong at that time.

@@DiamondDogTraining thank you so much from Pauli and me 💓💓💓
I have an 8 week old cockapoo. Would it be a small.or medium kong? And how do I get him interested in it?
Hi Mimi, how much does your puppy weigh. Cockapoo can be different sizes as adults . I really think the first Kong I would buy is the small puppy Kong. But after that , I would always buy the Medium Puppy Kong until your puppy finishes teething about 6-7 months. Then your puppy would need red Classic medium Kong. If your puppy is from toy poodle and cocker spaniel, then your puppy will be smaller and maybe you will need the small Kong for a few months. Sorry to be so vague. Size and Weight are important. Thank you Joyce
Hi Mimi, the video live today will show you how to introduce and many recipes. Let me know your favorite Kong Recipe. Thanks Joyce

My dog is a one year old pug, and weights 10 kilos . Which is better for him?
Classic Red Kong is for adult dogs. Small for dogs under 10lbs. Medium is for dogs between 10-30 lbs. 10 Kilos is 22 lbs. Right? so Medium Classic Kong is best. Thank you,

What size Kong would you recommend for a 8-week old bernedoodle puppy in the 6-10 lb range? (We haven’t made our selection from the litter yet). Thank you!
Hi Kayla, if the puppy is 9-10 lbs. I would recommend the medium puppy Kong. Under 8-9 lbs. possibly the small, but the shape of the face would decide. If the head is broad at the nose, I would use the medium. Hope this helps/
I heard kong was founded from a guy who started a dong factory,it failed so he kept all the machinery to make the dongs,since they was a flop he changed the molds and started making dog toys called kong.

I got a year old black mouth cur. What should I do?
what does your dog weigh, how large is his mouth/ size determines what size kong. possibly a large classic if he is not a real strong chewer. if he is then the ultra black Kong. Joyce
Which size would you recommend for a 8 weeks old golden retriever? Could she use the same size until 4 months old or older?
Hi Elia, i would suggest you try the Medium Puppy Kong. A Golden Retriever puppy even at 8 weeks is going to have a broad muzzle and find it difficult to empty the small Kong. In the Medium Kong, you may need to stir up the food on the bottom or put some treats in the bottom to help your puppy reach the filling. if someone gave you a small puppy Kong, you could use it for 2-3 weeks, but I would not buy the small.
You will definitely need to move to the medium Puppy Kong around 10-12 weeks. The small is for dogs under 10 lbs.
You should be able to use the medium puppy kong until at least 4 months especially because you mention she is a female and should be smaller than a 4 month old male. What is your puppy's favorite filling? how are you using the Kong? I would love to hear from you. Thank you. Joyce

Hi Danielle, Frenchies can be different weights . Is it a male Or female . How large is your dog? Does your dog really like to chew bones and chews. One year old French Bulldog would be either red Classic or Black Extreme.
Size would be medium for smaller dog and large size for bigger dogs. Sorry. But I can be more specific if you give me more details. Thank you. Joyce
@@DiamondDogTraining He is male and his weight is about 14 kilo. He is a chewer.
Thank you!
I am glad the video helped you choose the right size. What size dog do you have? What size Kong did you choose for your dog? Thank you. I really appreciate the feed back to help me to plan future videos. Joyce
Does a medium sound like a good size for a pair of 10 month chihuahua/dachshund mix. One of them is bigger dachshund leaning (tho I joke that he looks more like a jack russell) and the other is more chihuahua leaning. the small I got them looks like a choking hazard. Edit: forgot to mention they both are extreme chewers
yes, i would think the medium size. Extreme chewers may need the Black Kong. you can tell if you need Black, if you have a red Kong and they start to chew the top of the rubber of the Kong. Let me know what you decide. Thank you. Joyce
