I've just soaked some of her biscuits and stuffed them in but she seams to have gone through them after 5 mins. dont want to spend money getting the kong biscuits as they were a bit expensive so any other suggestions gratefully recieved.

My 2 like banana and peanut butter stuffed in it.

Experiment with anything soft that your dog likes. Chappie is great if you want to stick with dog food.

Yes defo peanut butter - especially when frozen for 12 hours drives them wild!
Cream cheese to stick bits of kibble in
Wedge carrots or debtastix in there
Anything that is safe for dogs and fits - they are great!

Another vote for peanut butter

Mine get (value) smoked mackerel whizzed up with (value) cream cheese, smeared on the inside with some kibble wedged in, or some sardines mashed up. Or peanut butter/cheap pate/squirty cheese, but my dogs are prone to putting on weight, so I try not to make it too calorific. I have to make them easier for the older dog, who just sits and looks confused at the Kong if the food won't come out, and pack it all tighter for the younger dog who employs quite a fearsome suction technique.

I buy some wet food and use that and other stuff. Something like a bit of carrot under the lip round the hole can make it much harder :)

Peanut butter, sardines and the fish nature diet are popular here.

I jam my dogs Kong with left over roast meat. I pack it quite tightly so the dog has to work at it for ages

I must get her a new bigger Kong. She still has one of the puppy ones and she is 7 months. We also have the pets at home version and she finds it harder to get stuff out of that :)
