Why are these such a great idea? First of all, gnawing on the Kong helps remove dental plaque. Second, because the treat is frozen inside, it takes a long time for Rafferty to get to the good stuff. And third, there’s a small amount of treat per Kong, so it doesn’t upset his tummy or add inches to his svelte waist line. Best of all, I can give one to Raffi when I leave the house so he’s busy and happy while I’m gone.
I love the convenience of reaching into the bag, grabbing a cold Kong, and sharing it with my pet. Let me know if your dog enjoys this, too!
Kongs are my life savers – we have a 2yr old Portuguese Water Dog, named Maggie, who enjoys a frozen Kong, stuffed with left over chicken, or peanut butter, or turkey lunchmeat, cheese or even liverwurst. We have a routine that she "let's" me get ready for work in the morning -as long as she has her daily Kong! 🙂 I also keep them on hand (in the freezer) in case of a thunder storm. They keep her busy and she is less worried about the thunder. I've heard of people filling them with their dog's wet dog food, as a good way to give them a healthy activity too! Gotta love those Kongs!
Sherri, I hadn't thought about giving Raffi one when it thunders. So smart! Thanks!
It's frozen peanut butter kongs for our beagles. But I like the cheese idea for variety.
Sue, my biggest challenge is not squirting Cheese Whiz on everything I can find at night when I get the munchies. Ah, the joy of that ooshy, gooshy, stuff.
