| Kong Braidz Has anyone else tried these new toys that kong has..the Kong Braidz? I bought my little girl one Friday night and gave it to her Saturday afternoon. By Monday morning the arm had fallen off and was no where to be found. Luckily she hid the arm under the couch and didn't eat it!! I have never had a problem with any of her other toys falling apart. Usually it takes a while for her to start pulling them apart. So I decided to email KONG and express my dissatisfaction with this new toy and they emailed me back pretty quickly to my surprise. They expressed to me that because this is a stuffed toy it was not under their money back guarantee and that they are not "chew toys"...What else is the dog supposed to do with a toy besides chew on it. They also told me they could send me a $2.00 off the next purchase coupon. But that doesnt help the fact that I spet almost $8.00 on a toy that fell apart in less than 2 days... Okay I am done complaining...... =)

| I haven't seen this toy yet. It's good they are offering alittle reimbursement. I have to watch the toys my girls get, there are some that they just can't have. They are chewers for sure & some toys have only been played with just once before I have had to throw them out.....trial & error. lol

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I saw them at Petsmart the other day and almost bought one but they were more than I wanted to spend. Glad I didn't. I have strong chewers.

| I love the skinz b/c they have NO stuffing!!!!!! We have one that looks like those loofa dogs on the tv commercial she loves that thing. She just has a thing for her "monkey toys".. And I thought KONG was a good brand as they say "Indestructable!"...but I guess I was wrong.

Thanks for the warning on the new Kong toys. I try to stick with cheaper toys if it looks like something Ben will destroy at will. I don't mind spending a good bit more if they will hold up, but I will skip this one.

Yes I know its not the rubber kong toys but the arm shouldn't completely fall off in less than two days.. I'm sorry but thats just bad manufacturing of the toy! Quote:

| picture of Kong Braidz Here is a link to what the toys look like. They come in small, medium and large! I bought the small monkey for my little girl. They come in giraffe, zebra, tiger and monkey. http://www.jbpet.com/RS/SR/Alternative/6090134~2_L.jpg Squeak them, tug them and cuddle them, Kong Braidz are velvety soft dog toys with extra-durable braided bodies. Your dog will enjoy hours of chewing fun whilecleaning his teeth at the sane time. I love how it says "Chewing fun" but the Kong representative told me they weren't chewing toys!!!
