KONGAqua Floating Fetch Toy - Dog Floating Toy for Water Retrieval, Play, Exercise & More - Natural Rubber Dog Toy with Foam Interior & Rope for Farther Throwing - Orange, for Large Dogs

We have two Labrador Retrievers and got this for the older ones 4th birthday. Both boys love to swim and play in the water, so this toy stays in the camper and is used quite often at least one weekend out of the month. Great to throw, tug and easy for them to retrieve from the lake. We do not let them play with it otherwise, since the puppy would destroy it with his rather sharp little raptor teeth, so it's still in very good shape.

I love these kong-on-a-rope toys! They do so many things right!1. The plastic-like woven rope attached to the toy is long enough that it makes your effective "throwing arm" very long, which means you can easily get enough momentum in a swing to throw the toy very far.2. The weight, heavier than toys with rope knots or tennis balls or tennis-ball-type cylinders on the end, also lets even my 68-year-old mother build up enough momentum in a relaxed throw to really get some distance and give the dogs a good long run.3. The hard rubber of the toy at the end is very resistant to chewing.4. The toy's odd shape and rubber composition makes it bounce unpredictably when it lands, keeping the dogs guessing and sometimes making your effective throw even longer.5. The rope is long enough that we can have three or four of our dogs running side by side with the rope in their mouths at once! Very funny, cool, and cute to see the whole doggie family running with the same toy in their mouths!6. The rope is tough enough that our dogs trying to pull it away from each other can't tear or cut it. Sometimes they bring me the toy and don't want me to throw it again, but want to play tug of war. I'll grab the end of the rope. One, two or three dogs will grab hold, and in a rowing motion, I'll lift them one (or all) off the ground at once and swing them to the side. That can be well over 100 pounds of dogs hanging on and being swung by the teeth, and the rope is fine. And they love the ride! Our 40-pounder loves getting as many rides as I can give her before I'm pooped. I guess that's another benefit -- I get exercise too!7. It floats. I walk the dogs by a pond, and we've lost a few non-floating toys to it.8. The orange toy and red rope are very easy to see in green grass or in brown underbrush. A lot of our dog toys have been in that green color you see on tennis balls, and they can be so hard to find when the dogs drop them in the grass. You've got to watch them like a hawk with those, but not with these.I got both my mother and my father kong-on-a-rope toys for their dogs for Christmas because I knew they love them too, but once in a while they lose one up in a tree. I told them I wouldn't say anything if they didn't want to tell the dogs, and just chew on the toys themselves, but so far they're willing to share. They're the perfect present for the man or woman who has everything -- something for their dogs!

I've spent at least $300 on water toys for my Golden Shepherd, Sadie. (1/2 golden retriever 1/2 German shepherd). She's a big girl! She destroyed every water toy I bought....UNTIL THIS ONE! I LOVE IT!! It has the rope so I can throw it sooooo far and she hasn't put a dent in it yet! Highly recommend if your dog destroys yours too.

My only issue is the darn rope is very easily frayed. She played with it once and it didn’t hold up. Other than that we love all Kong products!

Our German Shepherd LOVES this toy. I love it because I can grab it by the rope instead of the rubber kong part which is usually covered with dog slobber, dirt, grass etc. Can whirl it around then release and it goes pretty far without much effort. This is our 2nd purchase because eventually she chewed through the rope part on the first one because she's a GSD and chews everything. Ball part was still fine but the rope was a nub :) Great value for the money.

My Jagd Terrier loves these. He destroys them every couple of months.

The media could not be loaded.  Got this for our retriever so she could play in the water. She is a heavy chewer so had to get something durable. It’s tough! However, the reason it floats is because the heavy Kong ball has a floating piece of styrofoam inside. I threw it into shallow water and it plopped to the bottom and got stuck in the mud. Didn’t have enough buoyancy to pull itself out. I had to wade in to get it unstuck because my dog couldn’t find it. Luckily the the attached rope also floats so I could find it. When it floats in the water, it doesn’t float high so sometimes the dog had to come out of the water to see it from the shore so that she could go get it. Hard for her to see while she is in the water. She likes it and we will continue to use but wish it floated a little more.

Floats well, Easy to throw and very accurate!

This toy is very easy to throw far because of its cord, it floats and is easy to spot in the water by the dogs. I like that I can take the cord with dogs that don't want to give me the toy.

Unser Hund hat seine helle Freude an dem Ball. Tolle Qualität

jouet préféré ! il flotte , il est solide , il est facile à lancer loin grâce à sa corde très solide . Mon chien l'adore !!

Flotte parfaitement juste une petite remarque : Ne résiste pas aux fortes machoires "grignoteuses" !! (Cordage comme caoutchouc) 😉Mais il n est pas vendu comme "extreme"

Tengo 5 perros de distintos tamaños; desde un Teckel a un Drahtaar de 30kilos y les encanta jugar con el juguete en la piscina. Me dura aproximadamente dos veranos, y eso que lo muerden y juegan a lo bruto. Totalmente recomendable.
