Why the KONG Senior Toy Is Ideal for Older Dogs

1) Gentle on Aging Teeth & Gums

As dogs age, chewing preferences and needs change. The softer natural rubber used in the KONG Senior is easier on sensitive or worn dental surfaces, helping dogs enjoy chewing without discomfort.

2) Promotes Mental Engagement

Filling the hollow core with favourite treats, pastes or kibble turns playtime into a rewarding puzzle, encouraging dogs to use their brains and stay active — helping reduce boredom.

3) Encourages Healthy Play & Movement

The classic KONG unpredictably bounces, motivating older dogs to move and play gently — great for light exercise, fetch or casual games that complement a comfortable lifestyle.

4) Supports Emotional Wellbeing

Chewing has calming effects for many dogs. Providing a toy that feels good on the mouth can help satisfy natural instincts and reduce stress behaviours.

5) Versatile & Long-Lasting Fun

Use independently or within training and enrichment routines. Stuff and freeze for longer play, or let your dog enjoy regular chew sessions at home.

How to Use & Play Ideas

• Stuff it: Add small treats, peanut butter or wet food into the hollow centre for slower, engaging play.
• Freeze: Freeze stuffed treats to extend playtime and add a cooling enrichment element.
• Fetch: Use as a gentle fetch toy — the erratic bounce keeps play stimulating.
• Rotate: Combine with other toys to maintain novelty and engagement.
