dog-and-kong-by-oakleyoriginals.jpg Tired of stuffing your dog’s Kong toy with the same thing each time?

Good news!… There are several different things you can stuff into dog’s Kong toy.

For starters, you don’t always have to use store-bought products.  Homemade Kong treats are sometimes the best kind.  And the variety is virtually endless. Your dog will love it!

Here are lots of DIY recipes that make great Kong treats.

 

My dogs love it when I put peanut butter in their Kong toys.  I have to admit, I don’t stray from using peanut butter too often.  Usually, that’s all I put inside, nothing but peanut butter.

I’ve tried leaving out the peanut butter when filling their Kongs in the past, but they were never as excited with the Kong as when I fill it with peanut butter.

Recently, I’ve been experimenting and adding other Kong treats along with the peanut butter.

A few healthy treats that you can fill your dog’s Kong toy with:

  • Apples
  • Rice
  • Pumpkin (canned)

A few Kong treats you can make yourself:

  • Fiber Crunch – Bran cereal and peanut butter
  • Fruit Kitty Noodles – Dried fruit, cooked pasta, banana and dry cat food
  • Rock Hard Kibble – Dog food and cream cheese

When you go to clean your dog’s Kong toy, do you have a hard time getting it clean?

The first time I tried to clean out the Kong, I had a hard time getting all they way inside.  I always had to run it under hot water for a long time to get the peanut butter out of it.  Since then, I’ve inherited a baby bottle brush. Now I use that to clean way down inside the Kong toy.

About Me

LynnetteI like to help Dog Parents find unique ways to do things that will save time & money -- so I write about "outside the box" Dog Tips and Dog Hacks that most wouldn't think of. I’m a lifelong dog owner -- currently have 2 mixed breed Golden Aussies that we found abandoned on the side of the road as puppies. I've always trained my own dogs and help friends train theirs, as well. Professionally, I worked at a vet and have several friends who are veterinarians -- whom I consult with regularly. (And just because I love animals so much, I also worked at a Zoo for awhile!) I've been sharing my best ideas with others by blogging full-time since 1998 (the same year that Google started... and before the days of Facebook and YouTube). My daily motivation is to help first-time dog owners be better prepared from the first day your new puppy enters your home. I like to help dog owners understand what's 'normal' and what you can expect in terms of living with and training your dog -- how to get through the ups & downs of potty training, chewing, teaching commands, getting your dog to listen, and everything else that takes place during that hectic first year! When I'm not training, walking, grooming, or making homemade treats for my dogs, you will find me at the corner of Good News & Fun Times as publisher of The Fun Times Guide (32 fun & helpful websites). To date, I've written over 500 articles for dog owners on this site! Many of them have upwards of 200K shares.
