So, you've purchased a wonderful Kong toy for your dog, which I think is one of the must have - puppy essentials, but what can you put in it?
Below are some great ideas of healthy treats that you can stuff in your dogs Kong:
Apples (without core, stem, or seeds)
Asparagus
Baby Food (natural)
Bananas
Blackberries (will stain – use with caution)
Blueberries (will stain – use with caution)
Broccoli
Brussels Sprouts
Sliced Carrots
Cauliflower
Celery
Cheese (in moderation)
Cottage Cheese
Cucumber
Eggs (cooked)
Green Beans
Honey (in moderation due to high sugar content)
Kale
Oatmeal
Oranges (in moderation)
Peanut Butter (we use organic)
Peas
Pineapple (fresh)
Pumpkin (we cook/ cut up in cubes)
Rice (cooked)
Salmon
Spinach
Squash
Steak
Strawberries
Sugar Snap Peas
Sweet Potato (cooked-steamed)
Watermelon (seedless)
Yogurt (plain, lowfat)
Zucchini
We pop natural yoghurt in the Kong treat toy and a few of our dogs favourite natural treats (as listed above) We then pop the Kong in the freezer for about one hour. This will make it more of a challenge for your puppy/dog to get the treats out of the Kong, which will also increase play time and entertainment. For those who are time poor, try the Kong Easy Treat Stuffing.
