hi

i know you can buy the tubes of kong stuff to go into them, but do you put homemade mixtures in them?

what do you use, what shouldnt go in them?

thanks in advance

I used to put marmite around the edges of mine along with dog biscuits and butter and stuff, know! not to healthy but as a treat for my little baby she got that'!

This is what I do

A smear of marmite or peanut butter around the inside - they spend a good 20mins licking every little bit out

I nearly always freeze the kongs to make them last longer (and it's good when they're teething)

A mix of dry and wet dog food packed in really tightly
A mix of probiotic youghurt and dry dog food (sometimes with a bit of chopped raw carrot as well)
Left over roast dinner - Just the meat and veg (no trimmings)

Anything really thats dog friendly, chicken, ham cheese etc

Just watch the calories and take it out their daily food allowance


mine also like the treat balls they roll around and the dry food drops out as they do this - I just but their dinner in those

i have one of those treat balls but they have never bothered with it. i bought a kong on impluse today (a med sized one) and i put some wet biscuits in it and Poppy loved it but i was wondering what else i could put in it

i didnt buy the tubes of stuff because i thought it was probably a rip off and id get some advise from you guys
