Kongs

[HeijoshinCool]

My pup loves her Kong. She's half border collie and half Australian Shepherd, so needs tons of daily sprinting. Nothing beats a Kong, not even a frisbee.

 

Has anyone seen a Kong in LOS? Where to buy?

 

If not, I'll have to buy extras and pack them; I don't want to do this as I'm already bringing a ton of stuff back.

A dog is mans best friend and man thinks he is dogs best friend - - but man w/frisbee is dogs best friend - what is a kong?

[HeijoshinCool]

Bounces erratically and unpredictably. Way better than a simple ball. 

About 4" long....

[HeijoshinCool]

When I want some peace, I can also stuff it with a treat that requires a bit of concentration, ingenuity, and time to remove....

 

While I drink my morning coffee.

Funny enough, I named her Jing (long before I bought the Kong).

Maybe it's on the banned sextoy list ?

Bit old fashioned but that is your choice. You probably won't find a brick and mortar that has it close to you. Maybe its time to start using online services.  Never hurts to try anyway unless of course you live in a hard to reach place for deliveries.

Thanks. Just, every time I read something about Lazada, it's always bad.....

They make a "super kong" that is supposed to withstand heavy chewers.

There are a lot of people complaining but i have litterly 100's maybe even 1000's of orders without many problems. The problems i had always were solved. However if you live somewhere far off the beaten track delivery might be harder. I always lived in BKK area and for me lazada is a god send. 

 

I would just try and make up your own mind about it. I mean if you use COD not much can go wrong (personally i don't even use COD because i order that much and hate having to ready money as they often dont have much change). 

 

But seriously just try yourself and see it really is not bad though of course bad things do happen for some people at times.

Linked below is one example from Lazada.

 

Sometimes you can pay COD. I normally search for what I want using my laptop with it's bigger screen, then order via the app on my phone, and do the payment via the banking app on my phone.

 

I have recently started buying more of my UK treats and tinned goods from them.

Less hassle than searching around the supermarkets at the moment due to supply chain problems down to COVID.

If you want local shops, what's your location?

Returning after 4 months stateside. BKK at first, later NST, probably outlying area.

I bought several Kongs from Lazada for my dogs a few months ago. No problems. Original items in correct packaging - no problems whatsoever.   Just look for a seller with some positive reviews..

I was slow to get on board with online shopping too, but over time, especially last 2 years with COVID, Lazada's become fairly routine.  Haven't had one of the "scam" type situations, yet.  Worst so far is a few things I've ordered turn out to be Out of Stock/cancelled. 

Always been able to opt for COD, so haven't gotten jammed up dealing with refund process.

 

It's all good, give it a try. 

 

Edit to add:  Also reduced the amount of grocery store items I used to haul back in luggage from the US too!  LOL.

I schlepped a load over with me, then found they are relatively easy to get here. I've seen them in pet shops, but they are a lot cheaper on Lazada.

Thanks. I saw on Lazada they're about $20. Petco has them for $9. 

 

So I'll schlep a few over myself. 

[Polar Bear]

I use this online pet store sometimes, and they are usually cheaper than the bricks and mortar stores, but they still aren't cheap.

I'll bring three. ????
