Product Information

If you’re adding dry dog food (kibble) to your dog’s Kong toy, be sure to remove that kibble from your dog’s daily food allotment. If you are adding other treats, calculate how many calories you’re giving in the form of treats and decrease your dog’s food correspondingly. With a bit of trial and error, you should be able to find a balance that allows your dog to maintain a healthy weight while still enjoying his Kong toy.

Kong dog toys are strong enough to hold up to even the most aggressive chewers. Kong also has a great range of cat toys, so all your pets can join in on the fun! Stuffing a KONG is easy. You can stuff anything that is safe for your dog to eat (in healthy amounts) into their KONG.Kongs are one of the most popular dog toys in existence, worldwide – but do we know how to use them? Which means – you – if you’re anything like me – will go “Why didn’t you eat that?” And then get totally disheartened. My best tip here is to start simple. If you research beyond this blog (which I suggest you do!) – you’ll see a lot of recipes that are like “place a layer of kibble, a layer of home-cooked, blended roast dinner, a layer of greens, freeze-dried liver to cap, and close it up with peanut butter” – now, this sounds awesome? Right? Next, consider the size and shape of your Kong toy. Is it large enough for your dog? If a large dog is given a Kong toy designed for small dogs, the risk of ingestion goes up significantly. An appropriately-sized Kong toy, however, will be difficult to swallow. Use the size guide as a general guideline when purchasing a new toy for your dog. Then, watch your dog as he plays with his Kong toy, ensuring that the toy cannot fit entirely within your dog’s mouth.
