Product Information

FROZEN BONZ: Mix up some bananas, unsweetened applesauce, oatmeal, peanut butter, and plain yogurt. Freeze. Hi, I have been stuffing and freezing a small kong toy for my 4 lab mix month puppy and he gets this in his crate when we have to go out. I had read this is a way of associating something nice when you have to leave them? He’s always finished all the stuffing when we return and we then take it away so he only has it when we’re not there…. Kongs are a fantastic way to keep busy minds active for long periods of time and improve your dog’s state of mind by using their natural instinct to hunt for their food. Hi Tina, thanks for the message! The Kong will only hold value for most dogs whilst there is food in there and that is all we would ever expect for most dogs. By making the Kong more difficult you can increase the amount of time your dog spends chewing though! I’ve been stuffing the Kong for 2 months now for all the meals because I was told that it would get them hooked on the Kong so that they would want to use that when they need it. But right after they’re finished eating they don’t want anything to do with Kong’s and they get bored very easily. Got any ideas how to get them to keep using it when they need it.

Some people do simple purees and freeze, others do loose treats only – and either of these methods work just fine. Kongs can help to reduce separation anxiety. Dogs who suffer from separation anxiety might not do well with leaving them alone for long periods of time. Having a special toy like a Kong that will keep them busy while you’re gone can be a great option.KONG Peanut Butter Easy Treat is a delicious treat that delights all types of dogs while providing an easy no-mess solution for pet parents. Made in the USA, this highly-digestible and trans-fat free treat is an enticingly delicious addition when added to a stuffed KONG. A uniquely designed nozzle easily controls the amount of KONG Easy Treat™ while also having the added benefit of a convenient, no mess stuffing solution. Want to make your stuffed KONG last longer? Freeze a stuffed KONG, topped with KONG Peanut Butter Easy Treat™ for a longer-lasting, mind occupying challenge. No Refrigeration required. I started both dogs off with just loose kibble or training treats. Once they got used to this, I added a tiny blip of peanut butter, and gradually worked my way up to stuffing the entire thing. Tip 2: Layers matter However, if you have a puppy that is older than 12 weeks and doesn’t seem to be having any issues with its digestive system after it’s eaten some of the food from its Kong toy, feel free to switch it up as long as your dog isn’t allergic or sensitive to those ingredients. Filling them with a Kong paste or peanut butter will be best so that there is less of a mess. How Do I Get My Dog to Like the Kong? Hi. Any ideas of what we can put in a large kong for an almost 11 month old giant schnauzer puppy whilst he is on his own for a few hours in the day? He is super intelligent and gets bored easily but just want him to stay occupied whilst he’s alone. Any ideas on what could be frozen in them would be great so he is entertained for a longer period of time 🙂 thanks Does your dog have a sensitive tummy? This might be a treat for them. Make sure you’re giving them the healthy stuff that doesn’t contain any added sugar (definitely don’t use pumpkin pie filling).

Would it be better to not stuff the bottom hole and only put dry biscuits in there to have air circulation, then use different layers of wet and dry food from there before freezing? A Kong can help a dog settle down during the night before bedtime. However, at bedtime, it’s best not to give your dog toys. This helps to reinforce the idea that toys are for playing with during the day, and that they need to settle down at night. Mixing the pumpkin with oatmeal, rice, peanut butter, or meat is a great way to slip in some healthy fiber. But for peace of mind you can free a hole the whole way through your Kong. Put a tube (reusable metal or plastic straws work well) in the Kong for the whole length, then fill it and freeze. Take the tube out (sometimes you have to let it defrost for a short period or run it under warm water for a minute to get it out) before you give it to your dog!Hi Jana, the specific foods you use should give you an idea but generally food is thought to be good for 3-6 months in the freezer and that this is extended if kept in air tight containers (we put ours in a sealed Tupperware before putting in the freezer – though ours would never have a chance to last so long!!) Great to hear your fosters get to enjoy them if they like them! Some dogs need a little bit of time to get used to the idea that their Kong is not for begging or playing, but once they learn how it works, they will typically be excited about getting one. What Should I Put In a Kong? Okay, so we said we’d give you 10 recipes but, if your dog is a pro at using a Kong, freezing it can hugely increase the time it takes them to work their food out of the toy. Pro tip: buy multiple Kongs and keep some in the freezer for whenever you need them. It’s nice to have them easily accessible when you’re running out the door.
