A giant Kong toy would be great for Monah. She needs tough toys that she cannot destroy, and Kong toys are virtually indestructible. If she can destroy the toy, she may ingest parts of it, which can lead to a GI obstruction which you want to avoid. You can also fill them with treats that she has to get out, and will keep her occupied for a while.
