How to Use

Introduce the KONG ChewStix Tough to your dog during supervised play sessions. Allow your dog to explore the toy and discover the enticing wood scent. For dogs new to chew toys, you may enhance initial interest by rubbing the toy with your hands to transfer your scent. Always supervise chewing sessions, especially during the first few uses. Inspect the toy regularly for signs of excessive wear and replace when pieces begin to break off or the toy becomes significantly smaller.

Size & Breed Recommendations

The Tough Femur size is ideal for medium to large breed dogs weighing 20-65 pounds, including Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, Border Collies, Australian Shepherds, Boxers, and similar breeds. For smaller dogs or lighter chewers, consider the standard ChewStix version. For extra-large breeds or power chewers, monitor closely and upgrade to KONG Extreme products if needed.

Care & Maintenance

Clean the KONG ChewStix Tough regularly with warm water and mild soap to remove saliva and debris. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before returning to your dog. Do not use harsh chemicals or place in dishwasher. Store in a cool, dry location when not in use. Replace the toy when it shows significant wear, becomes smaller than the original size, or if pieces begin to break off.

Safety Information

No dog toy is indestructible. Always supervise your dog during play and chewing sessions. Remove and replace the toy if it becomes damaged or if pieces break off to prevent choking hazards. This toy is designed for chewing only and is not intended for aggressive fetch or tug-of-war games. Keep out of reach of children.
