Home-made Kong Stuffing. :P

[Kfamr]

I have been experimenting with different things to put in Kiara's kong when she flies to Utah next month. Today I soaked some kibble in water, then made it into a paste in the food processor. I also added a few milkbones for chunks.

The girls both have their kongs stuffed with it right now and have been working on them for atleast a half hour. Simba got some in a bowl (He doesn't like the kong idea much.) and all 3 of them loved it.

Just thought I'd let anyone know if you're looking for some cheap kong stuffings. :P

What a great idea.

Oooo...will have to try that, thanks!

[K9karen]

Super idea Kay! I never used a Kong with food in it. Question..does it get all yukky inside afterwards? I guess you can just clean it with soap and water, huh? (duh) Clever girl you are!

I soaked some kibble in water,
then made it into a paste in the food processor...
... cheap kong stuffings.

Not exactly "cheap" ...
But years ago somebody (don't remember "who") went off his or her food ...
I used to cook a can of soup (chicken noodle and beef noodle were favorites) ~
I'd eat most of the noodles and pour all the warm broth over their kibble ...
By the time it cooled, kibble was a yummy "mush".

(Never thought to hurry it along with the Food Grinder!)

What a great idea. I already make something similar for my ferrets I'm surprised I didn't think of it for the kong. I bet that it's awesome for a frozen treat too! Thanks for the idea.


I always play around with recipes for the kong, usually involves leftovers though.

I have never tried it but I also heard peanutbutter and kibble in a kong will keep em licking for hours

[RobiLee]

Hmmm, I'm going to have to try this for the girls. The love their stuffed Kongs. Thanks, Kay!

I wish Roscoe liked his Kong, seems no matter what I put in it it stays there all day. Those are some good ideas though, I may try them just to see if he has any interest

[Kfamr]

I bet that it's awesome for a frozen treat too!

Yeah, I plan on freezing it before Kiara's flight. It kept them licking for quite a while. I plan on putting two kongs in with her, one's HUGE and the other is large/medium. I figured if I filled them both with a ton of peanut butter it'd leave her a bit gassy. Besides, this way it's just like her eating her regular dog food, which doesn't make her gassy at all.

I may try making doggy pops out of it eventually.

Thats a good idea! I'll have to try it for Snowy sometime, she loves her kong.

My aunt uses peanut butter and carrots in her dog's kong. He loves it and will lay there for HOURS just try to get every last piece out!

[boxer_babe]

I am going to try that! It sounds like a very good idea! Thanx!

"....Kiara's kong when she flies to Utah next month"
Utah? Are you going to see Bebo? Wish we could fit in your suitcase, too!

I'll try the frozen kibble stuffing. I use peanut butter, but instead of a kong, I stuff those sterilized white hollow bones. I think the dogs would love a frozen treat.

What a great idea Kay, i will have to try it when summer comes . Happy travelling .

LMAO...I wish Maggy was a little on the smarter side of things, but I tried putting some food in her kong, but when she decided she couldn't get it out, she just barked at it.

Her kong is so tiny, that not much fits in it, but if I get it any bigger, she can't pick it up.

Oh well, nice suggestion, though.
