KONG STUFFING RECIPES

Kong Dog Toys are widely used and recommended for therapy and prevention of understimulation, boredom, separation anxiety and other behaviour problems.
On of the most common techniques is to stuff a Kong.

Unstuffing Kongs has become a very popular and important activity, because it can keep dogs contentedly busy for hours while they crunch up and lick out the food nuggets and tasty treats stuffed inside.

The following are recipes created by veterinarians, dog trainers and dog lovers worldwide.

ICED KONG

1 egg, grated cheese and any vegetables your dog likes. Scramble the egg and fold in the vegetables. Squash into the Kong. Sprinkle some cheese over the top and microwave for about 20 seconds to seal the ingredients. Cool thoroughly. WARNING - Cheese becomes very hot in the microwave.

NOUVELLE KONGS
Smear peanut butter or Marmite inside the cavity of the Kong for a quick and minimalist alternative.

TANTALISERS
Cheese, Chicken skin, Bacon, Pate, Cooked lamb's liver, meaty canned cat food. - Use very sparingly and make sure this treat blocks the top hole so that none of your other ingredients fall out.

MAIN COURSES
Small dog biscuits, bread sticks, garlic bread, pizza crusts, carrot batons - These treats should be wedged into place. Experiment with different brands of dog biscuits and look at small dog sizes which are very versatile. You want to leave lots of interesting gaps. Some biscuits should be harder to get out than others.

INSTANT REWARDS
Freeze-dried liver, cat treats, Chopped sausage, grated cheese. - These need to be small, flavoursome goodies. the second your dog nudges the Kong, some of these should fall out to get him hooked. If they are all dispersed immediately, its going to be a bit dull for your dog - so make sure you shake the Kong as you're filling it so some bits end up working their way into all the crevices created by the wedged biscuits.

Thats a great post

I just put empty quality street wrappers in jakes kong :lol!:

I bought Jade a Kong and she wasn't impressed at all!!! First I tried peanut buter, then meat, then cheese, which adores but still couldn't be bothered to work to get the good stuff out!!! Any suggestions? Is she just a lazy mare??!! :D

:lol!: Yes!! No only joking. Try putting a few pieces of kibble in the bottom and then a thick slice of something at the top (but so the kibble can still move around) so its like a food rattle.

The other things that are good are the kong sprays you can buy (only use them once in a while though as high in calories!!)

Milo just pushes his kong around the lazy sod! Determined to get him on it though!

Jade still hasn't taken to her Kong at all - she just stands looking at me like I've gone mad! She loves pate so I might try it with that - any other ideas how I can get her to like it?x

Some great ideas there, thanks for posting, i will be sure to give them all a go :D :sunny:

sound great will give them a go

cheers

Milo is still being a swine with his kong, just doesn't seem interested. I can't decide if i should get him a bigger one or not. Got the XL at the mo, which should be fine, but he's bloody weird at times!
