If your dog regularly damages standard toys, the KONG Extreme Large is one of the toughest KONG rubber options available. Its heavy-duty rubber construction is developed for dogs that chew more strongly than average.
Many owners of Labradors, Staffies, German Shepherds, Bull Arabs, Rottweilers and working dogs choose the KONG Extreme range because it combines toughness, food enrichment and versatile play.
For additional guidance, read our Best Toys For Aggressive Chewers Australia guide.
No dog toy is completely indestructible. Always supervise use and replace the toy if the rubber becomes cracked, split, heavily worn or damaged.
Changing the filling, texture and difficulty can help maintain interest. Begin with loose treats or easy-to-remove food before introducing tightly packed or frozen fillings.
The KONG Extreme Large is suitable for many medium and large dogs, especially those that require a tougher enrichment toy than the standard KONG Classic.
Breed is only one consideration. Select the size according to your dog's weight, mouth size and individual chewing behaviour.
If your dog weighs more than 40kg or is an exceptionally powerful chewer, consider an appropriately sized larger KONG Extreme option.
The KONG Extreme Large is particularly popular with owners of strong, active and intelligent breeds that benefit from both physical and mental stimulation.
| Dog Weight | Recommended Size |
|---|---|
| 13kg–30kg | KONG Large |
| 27kg–41kg | KONG Extreme Large |
| 40kg+ | KONG Extreme XL |
If your dog falls between sizes, choosing the larger option is generally recommended.

One of the main benefits of the KONG Extreme Large is its hollow centre which can be stuffed with food to create longer lasting enrichment.
Freeze the filled KONG overnight to provide even longer lasting enrichment.
