Our verdict

85 / 100

It is the reference toy among dog people, so it lands as a knowing gift rather than a random pick. Stuffed and frozen, it keeps a large dog busy, which the owner feels right away.

Best forA friend who just adopted a large dog, or anyone whose big dog chews through everything.
Best occasionBirthday, Christmas, a new dog or cat coming home
Avoid ifThe dog is small: this XL size is too big, pick a smaller KONG instead.

How we score

The CTG score out of 100 is the weighted average of five criteria rated for every product: proven reliability (36%), perceived value (18%), bond and memory (18%), originality (14%) and novelty (14%). Each criterion has its own published scale, identical for every product: it rates generously, because every product in our selection is already good. The score does not depend on the guide. 60 to 69: average gift. 70 to 77: good pick. 78 to 85: safe bet. 86 to 89: favorite. 90 and above: the perfect gift, a label reserved for excellent products that customers like, one winner per occasion. In a guide, the score for the recipient combines this score with the place in the ranking. The budget is an indicative range: the exact price is shown by the store at checkout.
