    Do you give your dogs kongs?

    I was just curius of how many people on pt give their dogs kongs.
    I started giving Zoey kongs when she was a baby, but now I have been brushing her teeth and Zoey really likes that a lot better.
    T.j hasn't ever tried a kong before, we brush his teeth also.
    Thanks so much Ashley for the siggy!

    We stuff them with peanut butter and give them every now and then as a treat. The dogs love them!

    the odd time I do, but mmy dogs dont much like them, they dont like the rubbery taste on the kongs, they love the water kong though(with a rope that you throw in water) it broke at Jordans(wolfsouls) when I there, so I pulled out the inside foam and gave it to the dogs as a regular kong, they seem to like it ok, it does not have the same taste and feel of the normal kongs.

    Snowy loves her kong! I put in carrots with some peanut butter for her, or just a regular treat, and she goes crazy.

    I have to find her kong, I think it got knocked under one of the couches or something...

    no way to vote as none apply, I use kongs in the crate and also as a diversion when at the dog park, but they seem to leave the others in the toy box unless handled by their human slaves.............................

    I bought a puppy Kong for Kai when he was a pup. He doesn't care about it at all. They'll play with it if I initiate play but other than that, they leave it alone.

    I used to fill it up with peanut butter but I've found it too much of a hassle to clean so I stopped

    We do occasionally.. Skylar has one of the huge black ones that we put stuff in for her. She loves it when we let her have it.

    Morgan has a puppy kong and likes to chew on it, but I wouldn't be surprised if she outgrew it once she is older.

    Sometimes. I used to give Jack one everyday when we still had his crate because he was awful when we leave, but now I just give it to them as a treat. Micki, Mini and Jack like it the most though.

    My option wasn't on there. My dogs have kongs laying all over the house, not stuffed with anything, just empty. About 4 times a year I'll stuff them with Peanut Butter & honey just as a treat but they prefer to play with their kongs rather than eat out of them.

    Since the LOUD Louie had a soft tissue injury and the Doc said NO MORE tennis ball for awhile, we stuff his dinner in a Kong and freeze it. Gives him something to do and takes him a while to clean it out...It's been GREAT!

    I would if I had two. But, personally, I find them overpriced. So I haven't splurged yet.

    Anyone got some extra kongs laying around?

    We've got three of the biggest size available, but Autumn can't have them because she chews chunks out of them.
