About this deal

The great thing about Kong stuffing is the fun you can have mixing it up. Do you think the idea of frozen broth and green beans sounds gross? I do, but my dog certainly doesn’t. Consider putting those extras to good use by stuffing them in your dogs Kong.

Chewing is a very natural behaviour for dogs. Unlike humans, they don’t have the luxury of hands to explore the world around them, so they use the next best thing – their mouths. One of the most challenging times for any dog parent when it comes to biting behaviour is when a puppy is teething. Are you looking for an easy way to keep your dog busy? By stuffing a Kong you’re making your dog work for his food, and giving them an opportunity to use some of their natural scavenging abilities. And stuffed Kong’s (especially if you freeze them) take time for dogs to get through — they’re a really easy way to keep your mentally stimulated and out of trouble.

Do you have some salmon, an apple, and some peanut butter? Line the inside of your Kong with peanut butter and toss in some cooked salmon chunks and apple slices. Freeze it for a few hours and you’ve got yourself a toy that will keep your dog busy for quite some time. Let’s call this masterpiece the PB Applefish. Yeah it sounds gross I know, and it’s a terrible name, but trust me when I say your dog will love it. These first little razor-sharp nippers will start to fall out at around 12 weeks old, and will continue to jump ship until they’re replaced by a full adult set at around 24 weeks. In that time you’ll notice that your little bundle of joy may become a little (or a lot) more inclined to bite and chew on whatever they can get their teeth into. Having a selection of teething toys on hand can be a lifesaver when it comes to keeping your furniture and your extremities intact, and can also help to alleviate any discomfort for your pup. If your dog hasn’t used a Kong before start out with some simple stuffing such as kibble or a few small treats. Encourage them to play with the Kong, and praise them when they start moving it around to get the treats out.

Another option is the Star Mark Bob a Lot toy, though it’s best used for solid foods because it only has one small hole for the food to come out of. You can fit about 3 cups of food inside a large Bob a Lot, and they’re durable and easy to wash like Kongs & West Paw toys. Do You Ever Find Yourself Tossing Out Food? Size: It’s important to select something that’s sized appropriately for the type of dog you have. A small breed puppy will have trouble getting its mouth around a bigger kong or chew toy, making the item itself pretty useless for its intended purpose and leading your pup to find other more accessible things to chew on. At the other end of the spectrum, a larger breed puppy could be at risk of swallowing a smaller toy, resulting in health risks for the dog and potentially a very large vet bill for you. When it comes to stuffing a Kong there’s a few key ingredients that make it really simple. The first step is choosing an ingredient that’s good for freezing. That will be your base, and then you can choose other items such as kibble to add into the mix.
