Kong and Planet Dog Rubber Chew Toys Review

I have a big dog that can chew through almost anything. He finally met his match when we purchased the Kong Rubber Chew Toy from our local pet store. This odd shaped toy didn't look like much fun to me but my dog loves it. We have several of the Kong toys now and, no matter how old they get, unbelievably, they don't have a single chew mark in them. Rebel can sit and chew on one for an hour and nothing happens to the toy. Weirdness. Anyway, after awhile he got somewhat bored with the Kong toys. After doing some online research, I found a site called planetdog.com. This site has some amazing products. When I was browsing through the toys, I came across the Orbee-Tuff Woof & Fetch Ball. After reading some reviews and the site information, I ordered the ball. Turns out, he has a riot with it and, like the Kong toy, this thing doesn't get a mark on it regardless of how long he gnaws on it. Besides being durable, it has a mint scent, bounces and floats too! The Kong toys and the Planet Dog Orbee-Tuff toys are both great fun for your dog and durable chew toys but how do they compare?

My Final Viewpoint

When compared, both of these brands are above the rest in their market. The cost is pretty much the same, they are both made in the good old US of A and each have a great guarantee. Based on my opinion and from our experience, I choose the Planet Dog Orbee-Tuff toys over the Kong toys. Kong toys are also great because of their durability and versatility (can be filled with a treat) but Planet Dog has many more types of toys to choose from, they have a mint scent that dogs like, float, are recyclable and, most of all, two percent of each purchase from their website is donated to service dog programs.
