This product is so new I haven’t even seen it in stores yet but the well known Kong dog toy company was kind enough to send me a sample of one of their newest dog toys, the Kong Wobbler. ($12.78)

Isabelle (my dog) was kind enough to be my product tester and within seconds of putting it down she was off to play! Her verdict? Definitely gift-worthy for your favorite pooch!

Isabelle is a smaller dog (18 lbs) and she bopped it around with her nose and paw to get at the goodies I placed inside without a problem.
