New Kong Off/On Squeaker Dog Toys Product Review

We love KONG!  So when the KONG Company asked us if we'd like to give one of their new dog toys a try, we said YES!

We received a new KONG Off/On Squeaker - Bear toy.  These new dog toys are made from their popular AirDog material and allow pet parents to switch the squeaker on and off for loud fun or quiet play.

All three of our dogs were thrilled with the KONG Off/On Squeaker Bear toy.

We liked it because the non abrasive tennis material won't wear down our dogs' teeth.  It was perfect for a game of fetch. 
 

When we'd had enough of the squeaking (Jeffie, too), we simply turned off the sound with the twist-an "off switch."

The squeaker in this toy is loud.  It certainly got our dogs' attention! The first time I turned it off, I found the switch to be stiff and I wished I'd used something other than my fingernail to operate it.  Subsequent use loosened up the switch considerably.

The new KONG Off/On Squeaker dog toys are available in Bone, Dog, Rattle, Whale and the Bear like we received.  Plus, they come in two sizes:  medium and large.  Available at popular pet retailers for $12.99 to $14.99 each.
 
We've been giving our dogs KONG toys for years.  We've found them to be safe, soft in their mouths, very durable, and they keep our dogs engaged for both inside and outside play.   The new KONG Off/On Squeaker is a barking good addition to the KONG dog toy offerings.

Rosie loved being a part of this product review.  Just look at that tail - blurry due to very happy wagging!

Talking Dogs is very pleased to highly recommend the new KONG Off/On Squeaker dog toy!  


* We were given one KONG Off/On Squeaker toy in exchange for our honest opinion of the product.

Dog Wants a Subaru Thanks to Grant Weber

You may not know this, but Jeffie is the mailman at For Love of a Dog.  So far he's been content to be driven by a personal chauffeur. 

That was until he was watching the Puppy Bowl and spotted the new Subaru advertisements.

Oh, oh.   

Subaru has a new Canine Sales Associate, Grant Weber.  Grant sells cars to dogs.   Now, that does make sense, since dogs have been driving Subaru vehicles for years.  

Of course, that was news to Jeffie, whose mail department chores keep him so busy that he doesn't watch much TV and has never surfed to YouTube.  And so far, he's not yet logged in to Facebook and seen the new Subaru apps at http://subar.us/USzh6V

He was glued to the TV during the Puppy Bowl and sure didn't miss the video where Grant Weber shows how easy it is for a dog to buy a Subaru.  http://bit.ly/14I6dbE

Then he saw this one that really got his focused attention http://bit.ly/W4TSFQ

In fact, all three of our dogs were glued to the TV for the Subaru ads.  There was some discussion about how many dogs would fit in a Subaru.  After all, vehicle decisions - like all important decisions in our family- are made with the dogs uppermost in mind.

Here's the one that sent Jeffie over the edge http://bit.ly/WW7C2Y   When he drove up in the mail truck and Grant just smiled and waved in welcome:



We're in trouble now.  Jeffie wants to test drive a Subaru.

And he's has asked for a raise.

Dog Song Saturday: The Rainbow Bridge

It's Saturday, so time for a dog song at Talking Dogs.  Today's dog music video was created by the Humanity Healing Network and called The Rainbow Bridge.  

Listen to John Denver and Placido Doming sing Perhaps Love while you view a story about the Rainbow Bridge.

The Humanity Healing Network has dedicated the video to all the animal friends who have shared our lives.  I'd like to dedicate today's Dog Song Saturday to my mom.

Grab a dog.  Sit.  Stay.  Take a moment to enjoy The Rainbow Bridge.
