Also try something other than peanut butter. Or even try only buscuits or kibble at first, something that falls right out.
Then start to add a little pasty stuff. Since he doesn't seem too interested in PB in the kong, try some cream cheese, cheese in a can, left over mashed potatos, pudding, yogurt, let your imagination go wild with the kong, I do & I find new "recipes" almost every day. lol Maybe even add a few pices of fruit to the pudding or yogurt, or some left over meat chunks in the mashed potatos, some tasty bagel pieces with the cream cheese, some veggies with the cheese in a can or whatever else you may think of.

If you don't want to donate his old kong to a shelter or whatever try running a piece of rope through it, tie a knot in both ends, and viola a play kong rope toy.

Those are some good ideas. He doesn't get leftovers very often (almost never) so he'd probably be pretty excited about those. I'll try it. Thanks!

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!

"....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.

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.
