Senior dogs deserve the finest, most comfortable things in life because they are angels on Earth. And if you’re lucky enough to be the parent of a senior pup, then there’s a dog toy you need to add to their collection. It’s designed with their age in mind and it will bring out their inner puppy as soon as they take their first chomp.
The KONG Senior dog toy is designed specifically for older dogs. It’s made from a softer rubber than traditional KONG toys so it’s gentler on their teeth and gums while they chew and play. Like other KONG toys, you can stuff treats or peanut butter inside the toy to give them a bit of a challenge to keep them busy for an afternoon.

“My dog has gotten older and her [original] KONG no longer serves her well, so I had to get her an upgrade!” one pet parent wrote in their review. “It is softer for her teeth and mouth which allows for her to bite into it. It keeps her more entertained now compared to her first one where she would just give up from it being so hard. If you have an older dog this is a must!”
Another pet parent wrote, “Our pup is 15 and missing several of her top teeth. That said, she’s been working on the same KONG since 5 years old. It’s held up great. We recently got a puppy, and when buying a puppy KONG, I finally decided to also get a senior one. Holy moly, what a difference! She’s actually fully emptied it for the first time in years.”
“Recently purchased the Senior KONG for my toy poodle, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice!” someone else wrote. “The texture is just right for my pup, making it easier for her to chew and enjoy without straining her teeth. I use it during events when she needs to be crated, and it keeps her occupied for an impressive 45 minutes! This has been a game-changer for us, as it helps reduce her anxiety and keeps her entertained.”
So if your older dog still loves having fun with toys, this senior-friendly KONG is a must-try. Your dog will play like a puppy again!
