Do you give your dogs kongs?

[Flatcoatluver]

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.

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

Occasionally.

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...

[Danegirl2208]

i do once in a while, but never very oftan

[DrKym]

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 :p

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.

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

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.

[lute]

i voted "yes, as a treat" but the 2 Kongs i have are just rollin around somewhere.

[LoudLou]

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!

[BC_MoM]

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? :D :p

[IRescue452]

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

[BCollie_Kelly]

Yup, my 2 get them as treats and as well as when we go somewhere and they are in their crates. :)

[JenBKR]

I have a large black one for Roscoe that he looked at once :rolleyes: he has no interest.

BC_Mom or any others - I will send you mine if you want, practically never used as he has never played with it no matter what I put in it.

[Glacier]

If one of them has to stay inside for a long period, they get a stuffed kong to keep them occupied. There are several outside in the yard that they just use as toys.

[GreyhoundGirl]

Kongs are awesome! :D My girl adores hers. whoever invented them is simply genius ! :D

[Chilli]

My three boys have two that they share. I give it to them as a treat when I need to occupy them. Peanut butter on the inside always does the trick! :D

[Kfamr]

I have around 3-4 kongs, one is shaped like a squirrel and I found it at BigLots! for 99 cents!

I like to leave around 2 kongs each for the girls if I'm gone for a while. I just take their kibble, soak it for a few minutes, blend it and make it into paste. I freeze it so it lasts longer.

[cloverfdx]

The dogs dont get kongs too often, maybe once a year as a treat. I generally freeze a few ice cream containers with water and chicken necks, it keeps them busy for hours.

[Kfamr]

I have a large black one for Roscoe that he looked at once :rolleyes: he has no interest.


Jen, I PM'ed you about the kong!

[Suki Wingy]

Too heavy for Niño, he won't touch it. His all-time favorite toy is a deflated volleyball

[pitc9]

I fill them with treats and top them off with peanut butter and give them to them when they are in their crates.

[wolfsoul]

Visa has a large black Kong but I rarely do anything with it. When I do, she doesn't spend alot of time with it. The last time I filled it with peanut butter, she ignored it and I found it later after the rats had been out -- they chewed the top off of it lol.

[king2005]

I gave Cyrus Max's old Kong. Cyrus was upset the otherday so I filled it with kibble & plugged it with lots of beanut butter lol He was a VERY happy boy after that :) Now his mommy fills it with beanutbutter when she leaves :)

[dab_20]

We have a puppy kong for my two and we don't usually stick treats in them... they are just for chewing. Sam likes it because he's teething.
