KONG - Puppy Toy Natural Teething Rubber - Fun to Chew, Chase & Fetch - For Small Puppies (Colour May Vary)

Product Information

Hi, we have just started to use a kong with out 10 week old puppy, just keeping it simple to start but he cries/whines the whole time using it. Being too small can be a choke risk, but being too big can be painful to chew and put them off so you might have to progress through a few until she reaches full size! The Puppy KONG dog toy is customized for a growing puppy’s baby teeth, the unique, natural rubber formula is the most gentle within the KONG rubber toy line. By making the Kong more difficult you can increase the amount of time your dog spends chewing though!

Hi Jana, the specific foods you use should give you an idea but generally food is thought to be good for 3-6 months in the freezer and that this is extended if kept in air tight containers (we put ours in a sealed Tupperware before putting in the freezer – though ours would never have a chance to last so long! The toys when stuffed with a treat are designed to provide mental and physical stimulation, and for pups it helps teach appropriate chewing behavior. Dry kibble won’t freeze into a solid block unless moistened (you can soak dry food first before stuffing it to help). Before we can get to the stage of stuffing a Kong tightly and freezing it to create a really long lasting treat.

Giving your puppy a stuffed KONG to enjoy inside their crate helps them build a positive association with their new safe place. Having it down at all times doesn’t add or remove any value as it’s the food component which is doing all the good when you’re gone, but if you prefer to pick it up and clean it (and have time to freeze it) that’s no problem too. Your pup will enjoy them much more than being fed from a bowl, but doing a mix won’t confuse them, you and your dog will just get more out of it the less you use a bowl! Your puppy will bite and chew probably more than you ever realised, so have lots of chew toys such as puppy kong toys available for your puppy to take out that teething on. But it will also start to teach them the required techniques when using a stuffed Kong such as dropping the Kong, chewing the outside and licking the inside.

Caution: Proper supervision is advised when playing with all toys to ensure no accidental swallowing. A friend recommended to put kibble on the botton part and then filling with wet food, but my little monster finishes it quite quickly (even when frozen)! The KONG Puppy Goodie Bone Dog Toy has been made out of a soft puppy rubber that is perfect for teething puppies. Stash treats inside the KONG Puppy to keep your dog occupied on trips to vets or when they are left alone! Suitable for puppies and dog breeds with weaker jaws - just fill it up with treats and watch your dog have fun!The cookie is set by Facebook to show relevant advertisments to the users and measure and improve the advertisements. It can be pretty difficult to begin with, so a nice, high value treat will keep your dog’s attention. Then pop the filled Kong in the freezer and use it in the same way as the high value treat stuffed Kong.
