KONG Puppy is the younger-dog version of the Classic red KONG, formulated specifically for puppies aged six months and under. It's designed for the 28 baby teeth and gentler jaw strength of a growing puppy, rather than being a scaled-down adult toy.

The toy is made from KONG's softest natural rubber, which is gentle enough for teething gums and baby teeth while still providing the durability that KONG is known for. The hollow centre can be stuffed with puppy food, treats or paste for enrichment, slow feeding or as a settle-down activity during crate training, and the erratic bounce works for fetch and solo play. It comes in multiple sizes to match the puppy's breed size now rather than at adulthood.

KONG Puppy is one of the most commonly recommended enrichment toys by trainers and puppy schools, because it combines chew redirection, slow feeding and reward-based training into one object. Owners typically graduate the puppy onto a Classic (Red) or Extreme (Black) once the adult teeth are in and chew strength increases.
