Kong Toy Fillers

[bigfwt04]

Does anyone know which treats are ok to fill my boy's Kong with? They sell several bit I don't know if it is a choking hazard or if the ingredients are ok. Any insight would be helpful. Thanks

I don't necessarily buy the Kong fillers that they have on the market. Instead, I fill the Kong toy with all sorts of things like cut up bits of cheese, frozen string beans, cream cheese, peanut butter. You can get pretty creative with it.

I don't buy any of the Kong brand fillers. Most of them are garbage. I just use real peanut butter. I've also read other people use cream cheese or yogurt in there too. Just depends what your dog likes and isn't allergic to. Also if you freeze it in there it will take longer for them to get it out. Sometimes I will do peanut butter and then put in a handful of their kibble so it's stuck in there. It's a pain to clean out though.

@bigfwt04f i have purchased those Kong fillers in the past however. Mainly the "stuffin' ziggies". Tate and Finn really loved those but i would recommend monitoring them if you decide to give them this (well, it's important to monitor anyways), b/c they can be chewed into somewhat thick chunks and i was always afraid they would gag on it.

I don't buy the Kong brand stuff either.... too much crap and preservatives in it.

I do what Sarah does and use real peanut butter and some 'natural' cookies from Darford. I have also done the string beans and cheddar cheese cubes and I've filled it with homemade frozen yogurt and frozen it before giving it to Chance.

I've never tried the Kong fillers so I can't comment on those and use fruits and veggies instead - Rook love apple chunks in his kong!

During the hot months I fill the kong with water and close off the holes and put water in it. Then place it in the freezer. It is a great water source when they get hot.

no to the fillers..... I do peanut butter, cream cheese or just broken up grain free treats

Cream Cheese! Wow, she will love that! I do cheese chunks and P.B. but the P.B makes her fart, so I was wondering what else I could use. Also wanted to find some more healthy fillers, I'm gonna try veggies and fruit too. Thanks for starting this thread!

We got the cheese filling as a xmas present, it made Thor really sick...then I read the ingredients and was like UGH! Seconding the yogurt/kibble fillings. My dog is weird and doesn't like peanut butter for some reason :s
