Why this pick won
The black compound is KONG's toughest, and it's the honest starting point for a dog that has destroyed everything else. Same stuffable shape and erratic bounce as the Classic, in rubber formulated for dogs that chew with intent. Not indestructible — nothing is — but it survives dogs that go through a red KONG in an afternoon.
