dog kong

Stephb1986_2

I got older dogs kong from pets at home for my border collie, she loves it something rotten, i use little doggie chocolate treats in the bottom, gravy bones in the side and on top i normally use like soft bacon biscuit type things but for dogs come in the sealed packets can't remember what they are called. It takes her hours!

i got perry's from pets at home, he has 2 kongs, one puppy, one normal size, a rectangle one, and a kong ball, he loves them and hasn't manage to destroy one yet, he could distroy the sofa but not the kong, well worth it

Got some medium sized kong-a-likes from naughtypaws.co.uk, very cheap at about 79p each. Have so far lasted my 16 week old springy spangles for 3 weeks, and they are doing some serious gnawing

my westie chewed a third of his kong off within days of getting it but he loves his 'two-thirds' kong - he treats it like it's his baby

Kongs are great it isnt the actual kong that the dogs love it is the food or treats that they are stffed with. The harder it is for the dog to get at the food the longer they will play with the kong. So try and jam larger treats in and the dogs will be happier for longer.

Kongs are ideal for dogs when they are being left alone at home.

Try Surry Pet Supplies online store, they are pretty reasonable on price and pretty quick with delivery.

A tip i was given was to buy the next size up from the one recommended as the dog will out grow the kong before its destroyed

When you first start to fill them, pack them quite loose so your dog is rewarded quite quickly and wont lose interest. As the dog gets used to the idea of the kong then start making it harder to get the treats.

I also like to smear a bit of cream cheese, peanut butter, marmite, fish paste on the insides so they have something to really work at getting for a while after they have it emptied

My dalmatian has had one since she was a puppy and hers is still fine.. and she once ate an iron!

Although the black kong is recommended for power chewers, my bull terrier regarded it as a challenge and managed to chew the top off after a few weeks.
I've found that the dental kong lasts much longer because she plays with it rather than going for the all out destruction - the one she's got now has lasted for months.

Well worth it to save the furniture, shoes, carpet.......

Nylabones are very good if you just want something for them to chew on.

not necessarily true - my westie doesn't have anything stuffed in his !

I bought some of the fruit things to have with cheese from Approved foods - they are stupidly cheap at the moment (best before Feb 09 ) 50p for a box of 12. I wouldn't suggest these for dogs with a dodgy digestion, but my two have the constitution of small horses. They love the pear fruit thingy stuffed in a Kong - it's very sticky, so you can wedge it in and it doesn't drop out (when they drop it down the stairs - yes Barney, I saw you LOL)
