Kongs are great toys because they are virtually indestructable and great for chewing on by pups and adult dogs. They are great because they are interactive...they make your dog think about how to get the treat out. Nothing is more amusing than watching a dog bounce a Kong off the floor to get the treat out. They're also great because they can keep your dog occupied, especially if the dog needs to use his tongue to get to the bottom of the Kong. When the inventors of Kong where developing their toy, they definitely have the concept of NILIF in mind. And that's awesome. If I were you, I would write the Kong company and express your desire to have Kongs sold there. It may be a new market they have yet to discover. Good luck!

There is only one Kong brand. >^^;<

Kongs are wonderful toys. Both of my dogs have their own, and I can put entire meals in there, freeze treats for them inside (doggy ice cream, etc.), cram cookies in there, and the dogs spend hours at a time working on them.

Petsmart does international shipping. This is from their website:

International Orders:
We can process international orders, outside the United States and Canada, only through our telephone ordering service. Please call 1-585-637-1408.

You can also see if the kong website states where your closest retailer is.

For Lokum, the x-large or large Kong would probably be the right size. And for the pup, Kong also makes a puppy Kong, probably medium size would be best...it's a bit softer than the classic red Kong, perfect for a chewing puppy. If you can't find a place near you that sells them, give e-bay a try eBay.ie - kong dog toy, Pet Supplies, Home Garden items at low prices. Or, send an e-mail to Kong and see what they say, just click on "find Kong" at the top of this page KONG Pet Toys - Legendary Strength, Quality, and Performance. Good luck!

Kongs are awesome! They are good for so many things, one of my favorites is fetch with the kong- it bounces willy nilly everywhere. Great fun to watch a dog try to chase one! I use Kong mostly for food stuffing to keep my Sydney busy when I am gone.

You should also know that they make different grades of kong in addition to size. If your dog is a agressive chewer like mine then you need the black kong. The rubber is tougher. My dog can tear up the red kong.

My puppy loves his kong, I was watching your video on youtube and when your dog barked, my puppy jumped up in my lap and licked the computer screen. Usually any big dog barking sends him running for cover LOL!

Another opinion . . .

My lab had a variety of Kongs and they were great for him.

I bought one of the heavy-duty jobs for my current dog with the understanding that I could return it if it didn't hold up. (It cost about as much as a tank of gas.) They laughed when I asked about the guarantee. Nobody had ever returned a Kong.

The next morning I brought back a bag with the pieces that were big-enough to pick up. (They wondered if I had used a chainsaw on it.) I took the store credit and bought a RhinoCone form Nylabone. It has remained unscathed after a year of daily use.

I will agree that Kong is a great product and worth every penny, but they are not indestructible.

why not look into purchasing them in bulk in various sizes and sell them there?

Kongs are a must for all dogs i think. you can put treats in them, dog food you can freeze them, they are indistructible and dogs absolutely adore them. Depending on what you fill them with, the dogs can be kept busy for hours. During the summer i freeze chicken broth in them and give them to the dogs when they are outside playing for awhile.
