Q: What size Kong for a ShihTsu/Maltese mix that is 7 lbs. ?
A: We would recommend the small size which is for dogs up to 20lbs. KONG always recommends sizing up for added durability and safety so that the KONG is too large to fully fit in your pet's mouth. KONG also makes our KONG products in varying call natural rubber compositions starting from the KONG Puppy rubber, the red classic KONG rubber appropriate for average chewers, all the way to the black extreme rubber formula the most durable rubber we make for power chewers. Choosing the correct size and rubber formula is important as size, breed, and age do not always determine chewing capabilities, because each pet is unique!

Q: I have a 40 lb border collie/terrier mixed breed. Should I get medium or large?
A: KONG advises consumers to size up their KONG toys for safety so that their dog cannot fit the toy in their mouths towards their rear molars to utilize their jaw to engage in "Scissor biting" using the pressure from their jaw hinge to break down toys just as their mouths were designed to break down material like bones in the wild! When in doubt size up or move to the black extreme rubber for extra safety and durability! KONG Sizes: Small up to 20lbs, Medium up to 35lbs, Large up to 65lbs and Extra Large up to 90lbs and extra extra large for those big pups starting at 85lbs! The KONG User Guide found inside the KONG Rubber packaging recommends the size large for Border Collies :) The KONG User Guide is also available on our website and provides more detailed information with sizing recommendations based on average breed chewing capacities, common weight and mouth circumferences to help avoid destructive chewing and provide the safest and most sustainable toy option available. Again, when in doubt size up and go Extreme!
