My dog is 20 lbs and a gentle chewer... would you recommend the small or the medium?

These run much much smaller than the corresponding size in Kongs. I would probably get one of each, which is what I do with my larger dogs and then fill them both and give them to the dogs based on how much I want them to eat at a given time. For a gentle chewer, they make a puppy version, which is a few more dollars in cost for the same size, but the rubber is a bit softer. Still durable but a bit more flexible. :)

We got the medium for our American Eskimo who has thick fur and it is slightly big for him. He weighs 30lbs. For a 16 lb pup, I would definitely go with the small.

I would go with the mini. My 30 lb beagle uses the large and it takes him a long time to eat.

i have seen chiuahuas in the small and they are comfortable (7-9 lbs) & a friend even adds a blanket inside. I think the medium would be perfect for 16 lb sheltie. It says medium is for dogs up to 20lbs.

I would get small for a pup that is no older than 6 or 8 months. Medium for older dogs so that the grooves on the ball don't become too accessible for the dog to rip it apart. The balls are pretty sturdy but not indestructible. The whistling rubber design is so that the dog can detect which direction the ball is flying. The balls won't last much longer than tennis balls if the dog is allowed to chew on them. Good luck.

I think you'd be better off with the medium, unless the kibble size is extremely small. I used the small when my dog ate kibble the size of a pea. You can also cut the inside prongs (there are 3-4) and to let the food out a little faster. Hope that helps.

I'd get the mini for a 20lb dog...I think? I got one that was 6'' by 6" and it's way too big for my 10lb Pom but perfect for a Rhodesian ridgeback I walk...she loves it

The small would be perfect. I have a 12 pound shih tzu and she has plenty of room. And this Thundershirt really does work!!

My dog is a 11-12 lb yorkie. I originally got the medium and it was too big so I would guess your dog would need the small.

My 14lb Mini Doxi did great with the medium size. But she's a very aggressive chewer for a little dog. I hope this helps.

I have a 20 pound pug. I got the small size and it is just perfect for her.

I wouldgo with a small or extra small. My dog is 13lbs and the medium fits him

I have an extra small for my 4 lb yorkie and a small for my 6 lb. I'd say either medium would work. A snug fit is better than a loose fit.

BTW, we did order a medium orange. I'm pretty sure that toy poodles are not as big as Chibi the Pug is. I think I'd go with small. Best to you.

I ordered a small for my 19-pound beagle-mix and it fits fine. The medium might be too big for your pup.

I would go with the medium. We have a 6 lb. shorky and it is just right for him. He can lay down and even have toys in his bed. you will not be sorry with this purchase.Love this purchase.

I would recommend Xsmall for your size dog. I originally bought for Small for my dog, a 16lb Bischon, but they were a bit large for her, so I got the Xsmall and she is happier with those. And when my dog is happy, then I am happy!
