    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

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

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

    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.
    I've been BOO'd!
