Aha....now that I got your attention...

I know Kongs are great little things to keep your pup entertained bla bla bla...well what do you stuff yours with to keep him interested?

I put Kibble, his cookies all together in their...but he loses interest after 20 minutes or so...

I'm going to start training him to be home alone...without his basket, meaning free to roam...and I know Kongs are good to keep them occupied..

So any ideas or what you put in your kongs ...I would like to have a variety of them around so he can have a blast trying the different varieties of stuff in the kongs...

Oh and stuff that won't fall out so easily...lol...

Me either, Clare. :? I have new carpet in all my bedrooms, so I try to be very careful not to let it get soiled. Even fussed at my youngest grand-daughter a few weeks ago for walking on the new carpet with her shoes on! :lol:

I have put cheese spread, peanut butter, treats and sometimes a piece of kibble in the cheese spread or peanut butter to make it stick better. I always make sure to clean them real good between times, as they can get nasty if you don't and I'm afraid of bacteria. Luckily, I don't have to be careful about carpets, I have all hard-wood floors.

Are they the red things?? I have one of them! I didn't know to put stuff in! Luckily I have wood floors so I might give it a try!

 

[porshas_momma]

I dont even know what a Kong is :shock:

 

[Gadget's Mom]

I put peanut butter or cream cheese in Gadget's.

Bosco and Lola will chew on their Kongs without anything even in them...but when I do put something inside one they LOVE it.

I bought some of that Kong stuffing...it was peanut-butter flavored and they really loved it. I have also bought those Pupperoni's and kind of wadded them up and stuck them in there. It takes them forever to get those out and keeps them occupied for quite a while.

I don't have them for my boys, they really love things they can chew on. But my sister uses them and she likes to put peanut butter in them. Her dogs stay entertained for hours! She likes to give them to them before she leaves somewhere.

me neither...

 

[fizzy n kirbys mum]

My boy has one and he loves it , i never put anything in it he just loves the way it bounces ... ( a kong is an odd shapes dog toy )

 

[SunnyFLMum]

He doesn't like peanut butter too much...but he does like cheese...I think I'll try one with cream cheese...or cheese mixed with his kibble..and the puperoni idea sounds good also...

Looks like momma is going shopping....

Thanks for the ideas guys!!

Here's a pic from Petsmart, just so you see what everyone is talking about. As you can see, they come in a variety of sizes but the shape is always the same, with the hole at one end larger than the other for stuffing purposes. The last time I was at Petco I noticed they now have kong fillers in a can (like Cheez Whiz). For some reason, I assumed they might be full of chemicals (maybe because Cheez Whiz is hardly "natural") but I didn't check. I gave away Lily's kong ages ago because she never had any interest in it.

you can even freeze it and the insides lasts longer... :wave:

I have one of these (the baby version in marbled blue) ready for my puppy... at what age to you start giving treats? And what treat is best to keep from upsetting their digestive system?

I started giving him some treats at 13 weeks...I gave him some milkbone puppy biscuits...I actually split one in half and split that in two...and gave a little bit in the morning and after dinner...he really didn't want treats when he was younger, he didn't knwo what to do with them! Oh and I don't give him those biscuits every day...

Now I give him biscuits from a natural dog bakery store I have in town...he loves those...other than that he doesn't get many treats....which is why I use the kong, I figure I can put stuff in their he doesn't get regularly and make it fun for him also....I have the marbeled puppy kong too...the red one is too hard for his teeth...I had the smallest size, but I recently bought the medium sized puppy kong as the little stinker was getting too good at getting stuff out of it!

 

[Nona]

I was struggling to find things to stuff Lexi's Kongs with as well, until today!
After reading this post, I tried her with peanut butter in it and she's not left it alone :shock:

Normally i'd bounce it and she'd look at it and go play with another toy, but now she's constantly looking in it and licking it!

What a great toy...

 

[goldie]

I just picked up one of these. Has anyone else used it? Kong has special pellet shaped treats to fit into the "tread".

 

[LovelyChiPupz]

Me neither lol ! Where to get one they sound fun?

 

[EvieG]

After reading this, I stopped by Petsmart to buy one of these for Friday. I stuffed it with peanut butter treats and she stayed busy for at least an hour and a half. And when I went to pick it up and put it away for the evening, she quickly grabbed it and took it to the other room! I actually ate dinner uninterrupted last night.
