KONG Aqua Floating Fetch Toy - Dog Floating Toy for Water Retrieval, Play, Exercise & More - Natural Rubber Dog Toy with Foam Interior & Rope for Farther Throwing - Orange, for Medium Dogs

I love these kong-on-a-rope toys! They do so many things right! 1. The plastic-like woven rope attached to the toy is long enough that it makes your effective "throwing arm" very long, which means you can easily get enough momentum in a swing to throw the toy very far. 2. The weight, heavier than toys with rope knots or tennis balls or tennis-ball-type cylinders on the end, also lets even my 68-year-old mother build up enough momentum in a relaxed throw to really get some distance and give the dogs a good long run. 3. The hard rubber of the toy at the end is very resistant to chewing. 4. The toy's odd shape and rubber composition makes it bounce unpredictably when it lands, keeping the dogs guessing and sometimes making your effective throw even longer. 5. The rope is long enough that we can have three or four of our dogs running side by side with the rope in their mouths at once! Very funny, cool, and cute to see the whole doggie family running with the same toy in their mouths! 6. The rope is tough enough that our dogs trying to pull it away from each other can't tear or cut it. Sometimes they bring me the toy and don't want me to throw it again, but want to play tug of war. I'll grab the end of the rope. One, two or three dogs will grab hold, and in a rowing motion, I'll lift them one (or all) off the ground at once and swing them to the side. That can be well over 100 pounds of dogs hanging on and being swung by the teeth, and the rope is fine. And they love the ride! Our 40-pounder loves getting as many rides as I can give her before I'm pooped. I guess that's another benefit -- I get exercise too! 7. It floats. I walk the dogs by a pond, and we've lost a few non-floating toys to it. 8. The orange toy and red rope are very easy to see in green grass or in brown underbrush. A lot of our dog toys have been in that green color you see on tennis balls, and they can be so hard to find when the dogs drop them in the grass. You've got to watch them like a hawk with those, but not with these. I got both my mother and my father kong-on-a-rope toys for their dogs for Christmas because I knew they love them too, but once in a while they lose one up in a tree. I told them I wouldn't say anything if they didn't want to tell the dogs, and just chew on the toys themselves, but so far they're willing to share. They're the perfect present for the man or woman who has everything -- something for their dogs!

I have to XL Labradoodles, live in South Florida with a pool! We always used tennis balls only for daily pool play. (NEVER EVER LET A DOG HAVE A TENNIS BALL TO CHEW ON AS IT WILL REMOVE ALL ENAMEL FROM THEIR TEETH) 1 of the mutts got stubborn about releasing the ball. So, I have used Kong products in the past & thought I would give these a try. PERFECT! They only get these for retrieving & pool play, then they are put away. We do not let them have these as a chew toy. I do not think they would last as a chew toy! But for retrieval training & water play they are AWESOME

I love Kong products, so I was happy to add this one to my backpack of water toys for our Chesapeake Bay retrievers. It launches easily and far, which the dogs loved. But it lasted only one session in the Bay because they chewed the rope completely off.

The only land and water toy for our minature dachshund and our oversized Aussie. Now seniors, they still love them. These are regular indestructable Kongs with a flotation cork in the big end and a long yellow nylon rope in the other end. Comes in three sizes, med, L, XL. Great for back yard exercise.. Great for easy-on-the joints throwing (Kong gently sings from the long rope). Great for humiliy (Kong goes where it chooses (e.g., trees) until you get the swing (sorry) of it). Great for making friends with retriever owners (if you throw the kong into the pond one more time than the dog wants to retrieve). Great for dogs with zero interest in balls, frisbies, or (God forbid) sticks. Great for dogs with a great respect for private property (each will only fetch his own Kong (see "make new friend"s, above). Warning: the heavier Kongs pack a wallop. Once killed an innocent garden snake in the back yard who was in the wrong place at the wrong time, but so far have not brained the dachshund. (We have a lot of garter snakes in Colorado.) Have seen newbies throw the Kong backwards over their heads by releasing the rope too late.

Either your dog loves a kong - or they don't. Ours is a military working dog so she is laser focused on the kong. If used correctly (as a fetch toy and not as a chew toy) then it is durable, but you should never let a dog play with any toy unsupervised.

I have a 70lb working shepherd. I’ve tried a lot of different balls on ropes and reward toys/tugs and for some reason, this kong remains her favorite. Unfortunately for my wallet, they aren’t very good for tug toys. She finds tug really reinforcing so we do a lot of that in obedience work. The first one of these, she was able to pull the knot through somehow. The next 2, the kong cracked around the top and snapped off. We do go to the beach/pool often so it’s great to have this one that floats. Overall great toy but id really like to see the quality of the knot insert and the strength of the kong itself improved.

I have bought several different water retrieving toys that were for “strong” chewers and they lasted at best a week. I can’t say enough good stuff about these Kong Toys. They float, don’t go flat, the dogs can chew and play with them on the shoreline, and the cord can be replaced if need be. Great Product!

Ein sehr schönes Wasserspielzeug , jedoch war es für unseren Hund zu klein.

C'est vraiment THE JOUET que ma malinoise affectionne le plus, elle ne le quitte jamais. J'en ai déjà acheté plusieurs, très résistants. Avec la corde on peu le lancer très loin. On se salie moins les mains. Il flotte. La taille est parfaite pour son gabarit

El material de muy mala calidad …. El material se deshacía a la semana . No se podía tocar era pegajoso.

Es una opción fantástica para jugar con mi perro en la playa, porque resalta

Great toy and will last if you use it properly. My dogs love it and it’s just a good size. Not for xl breeds . I would not let my dogs play with it alone because they can fit it all in their mouths and would chew it without too much trouble. It’s a throw toy and that is how to use it. Would not leave any dog with any toy in fear of them choking.☹️
