Kong fillers?

[Queenofthedrivensnow]

What do you put in yours that keeps your dog occupied for more than 30 seconds?

Peanut butter

Soak kibble til its soft, stuff it in and then freeze it. Keeps pup busy for ages .

Flip I’m so doing that with gravy and kibble good shout!

All sorts of bits... from tinned cat food, to soaked kibble, peanut butter, soft cheese, or that revolting primula cheese in a tube, add lumps of leftover meat, or chunks of raw carrot, some people use baby food, then freeze it. You can poke it a chew, mine love the tripe sticks just before freezing so they stick out a bit.

My dogs fave is Primula with Ham.

She's so eighties.

Some Winalot shapes fit inside a Kong

He would love primula!! Is that dead cheap?

Holy cow you can get primula with prawns in it!! Boak. Ddog will be in heaven for 1.50 according to Sainsbury’s. Bet it’s cheaper in aldi

Home bargains does primula for 90p or something I’m sure. It’s super cheap!!

Peanut butter in the end, then natural yogurt with semi- mashed bananas, chopped strawberries/ blueberries, more yogurt. then freeze.

Gosh lost that’s a bit fancy for a spaniel

A carrot jammed in with one end sticking out. Keeps him busy for much longer that anything else I've tried to stuff in his kong! Also can't be doing with soft stuff because something always gets left in the tip!

You might want to join the Canine Enrichment group on Facebook- they have lots of ideas for Kongs and more adventurous enrichment toys

Anything we have going spare:
peanut butter
apple sauce
natural yogurt
cottage cheese
cubes of raw carrot or frozen peas
cubes of hot dog
kibble
little bits of roast meat from sunday
bananas or frozen berries
primula
any leftover pate we might have
tiny cubes of cheese if the end of the block has gone a bit dry for humans
mashed potato leftovers

I am basically scrounging leftovers and using them to stuff Kongs all the time They then go in freezer till we're ready for them.

Why do you freeze them......

I freeze them to keep them fresh (we normally have about 10 stuffed Kongs at any one time, ready to go when needed) and because my dogs are Kong experts so freezing them means they have to lick everything out slowly and they take much, much longer....

Thank you so much few things on the list today :/) think I need to buy a few more kongs to keep on the go

The key is to freeze them because it takes them much much longer to get the stuff out as they basically have to lick it to defrost it. I couldn't understand the big deal about kongs cos my dog could dispatch a filled kong in under 10 minutes and then I found out about freezing them and it can take him over an hour of it's frozen solid.

So in aldi I have just bought him cheese spread and crab and beef paste to be mixed in with random left overs and frozen overnight - god he will be extra delighted thanks everyone

I give my dog a frozen Kong whenever I go out for more than an hour. Totally distracts him.

Pizzapup gets her wet food frozen in her kong. It means she isn't getting any extra food but is keeping occupied

Queenofthedrivensnow sounds delicious!!!

Jiggly this is the idea.

Missbattenburg - sounds like hell but he will like it

we have foster dog at the moment.
he doesn't like being left at night and the rescue owner said try a kong.

he totally ignored it and sat by the stairgate and whined.
(he then crept upstairs and slept outside our bedroom door)
I though he might come back to it this morning, but he won't even sniff it!

It had some wet food and some dried mixed up in it
