Kong fillings

What do your dogs like in their kongs?
Alfie usually has things like sweet potato, peanut butter and dog treats. Any other ideas just for a change for him?
Thanks

How about mince or mashed banana and peanut butter xx

by **Kathy** Mon Jan 20 2014, 11:01

Rocky seems to have gone off his Kong lately, maybe we need some other ideas of things to put in there.

by **flowerbud** Mon Jan 20 2014, 11:05

Thanks Hayley. Had a banana that needed using, so just mashed it with some peanut butter and put in freezer so hopefully will last longer.
Haven't tried mince yet either thanks.
What do you give Rocky Kathy?

by Guest Mon Jan 20 2014, 11:06

I tried lovely mashed banana but my two weren't impressed - they love fat free, natural yoghurt; peanutbutter; viennas; cheese; biscuits; mince and just plain water or even water flavoured with a tiny bit of gravy and frozen.

by **flowerbud** Mon Jan 20 2014, 11:11

What are viennas Lisa?
Ooh the gravy water sounds great (remind me in our summer Laughing

) would never have thought of that in a kong, thanks.

Ah, viennas are the pink sausages Smile

With the gravy, I only put a tiny bit in as it is salty - but it makes a change from plain ice Smile

Oh yes of course doh

We put some of his kibble in there and peanut butter then freeze it, I think he has just got bored with it. May try something different sometime with him.

Alfie loves the sweet potato and peanut butter, but I just didn't want him to think, oh its that again. Lol

by **polly and jed** Mon Jan 20 2014, 11:41

Jed loves peanut butter and banana, i also freeze with beef or chicken stock Big Grin

Thanks Polly Smile

I made special birthday kongs for Roxy and Vinny tonight: plugged the little hole with a small piece of cheese, half filled the rest with baby food and topped with pieces of viennas and froze. It's taking them ages to get through it and they are determined - they're loving it Smile

by **flowerbud** Mon Jan 20 2014, 19:05

Aww bless them, they are having a lovely party. Did they manage to eat all the birthday cake?

No there was loads Laughing

They can have the rest tomorrow.

I must try sweet potato in the kongs next, sounds popular!

by **flowerbud** Mon Jan 20 2014, 19:12

Ooh leftovers! Big Grin

I wasn't sure if Alfie would be bothered with sweet potato, but he loves it!

by **flowerbud** Tue Jan 21 2014, 13:49

Well he is currently enjoying his kong with frozen banana and peanut butter. Big Grin

by Guest Wed Jan 22 2014, 12:57

I tend to stick to Vins wet food that he has normally as he is quite sensitive do different foods Smile

by **flowerbud** Wed Jan 22 2014, 13:30

How is Vin's skin now Inez?

by Guest Wed Jan 22 2014, 14:23

Not that good Sue, took him to vets last nite panicked about this disease that's come up.
He has a nasty lesion on his face but it clears up and scabs but he keeps knocking it off! Had a Lepto booster jab and a stronghold to put on him she seems to think its just a skin allergy. If doesn't get any better will have to have a skin scrape xxx

by **flowerbud** Wed Jan 22 2014, 14:31

Aw bless him. It sounds as if he is just keeping it going by picking his scabs and hopefully nothing worse. Just don't want it to get infected, so hard to get them to leave things alone though. Funnily enough had something similar with my son recently! Rolling Eyes

Love to Vinnie. Stop picking!

by Guest Wed Jan 22 2014, 14:38

Lol Sue yes I think what happens the scab forms and becomes tight which in turn irritates him then he picks it off! Mind you he never touched it last night maybe the penny has dropped that if he picks it its a vet trip which he hates! xx

by **flowerbud** Wed Jan 22 2014, 14:40

Hope so xx

by Guest Wed Jan 22 2014, 18:21

I stick a chicken foot in the kong and fill it with raw mince and freeze it Big Grin

by **flowerbud** Wed Jan 22 2014, 18:48

Dont think I could face a chickens foot! sick

I cooked a cottage pie for dinner tonight so kept some mince back for his Kong, will it freeze it for tomorrow Smile

Thanks

by Guest Wed Jan 22 2014, 19:40

tis only a foot! and they are very good for doggies Wink

by **flowerbud** Wed Jan 22 2014, 19:46

Yes but im not too keen on human feet, much less a chickens Laughing

by Guest Wed Jan 22 2014, 19:56

haha chickens aren't as bad as humans Laughing

by **Kelsbels** Sat Jan 25 2014, 19:09

Nico usually has some mash, kibble, wee bit of gravy and a few treats just to make it harder ( all frozen). I'm an evil mummy!!

by **flowerbud** Sat Jan 25 2014, 20:05

It does make it last a bit longer though doesn't it lol

by **Kelsbels** Sat Jan 25 2014, 20:10

Lol, well Nicos getting up to expert level, I'm gonna have to come up with some new inventions!

by Rhia Sat Jan 25 2014, 21:33

I but some liver treats in banes's but OMG, the smell that came out the other end, cleared the room in seconds lol. Does cooked mince make them have smelly wind?

by **Sazzle** Sat Jan 25 2014, 21:51

It shouldn't do! What type of mince? Maybe that type of meat doesn't agree with him?

by Rhia Sat Jan 25 2014, 23:05

It was liver treats I gave him, but wondered if beef mince would be ok and not give him bad wind? My OH got very sensitive gag reflex lol

by **Sazzle** Sat Jan 25 2014, 23:09

Oh right!

Give it a try Smile

Cooked liver always upset Daisy's tummy but dried liver and raw liver is OK!

by **Simi** Sat Feb 08 2014, 17:02

I`ve put treats in her kong and she also had tatty hash in it which she loved. I think i`ll try some yogurt in it and see if she likes it

by Highlands-Brody Wed Apr 23 2014, 11:27

This may sound stupid but is it just the big rubber kong with a hole in both ends? And pack it full off food?

by Highlands-Brody Wed Apr 23 2014, 11:39

Oh I just realised that you put it in the freezer lol duh. Going to try this out soon

by **flowerbud** Wed Apr 23 2014, 14:27

Yes Alan, you don't have to freeze it but it makes them last longer Wink

by Highlands-Brody Wed Apr 23 2014, 14:39

Don't know why I haven't done this yet ha. Should keep him occupied as he has been looking a bit bored lately :/

by **Sazzle** Thu May 22 2014, 21:41

Just stuffed Daisy's with mango and put it in the freezer, will let you know how it goes down Big Grin

by **Sazzle** Mon May 26 2014, 22:23
