Stuffed Kong
Hi everyone,
I keep hearing about the joys of a stuffed Kong to keep dogs happy and amused but am not sure what exactly can go in there, why it is sometimes recommended that you freeze it first? Any advice would be gratefuly received by Jake, my 10 month old Border Collie, and I. Cheers, Lynda |

When frozen, it lasts longer I put just about anything in ours, peanut butter always being quick and easy but bits left over from our dinner, mashed potato, bits of meat, normal kibble soaked in gravy / meat juice... what ever your dog likes and you have to hand that'll go in here's a few recipe pages: http://www.takingthelead.co.uk/2/Hea...g_stuffing.htm http://www.companyofanimals.co.uk/kongrecipe.php good luck and have fun Diana -- Cindy's web site http://cindy-incidentally.mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk |

Thanks Diana. I was a bit slow with the frozen idea
One more question - do you rely on your dog licking the food out - I mean, it doesn't go off or anything? Sorry these are such simple questions but..... Will check out the web pages - just off into town to buy a Kong now!! Lynda On Tue, 2 Nov 2004 11:21:17 -0000, "Diana" wrote: "Lynda" wrote in message .. .

Lynda Nah, you wash them afterwards, though she gets most of it out - they're dishwasher safe but in our household 'I'm' the dishwasher, so I use a bottle brush, detergent and hot water Diana -- Cindy's web site http://cindy-incidentally.mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk |

My Cassie (a DobieSpringer mix) loved her Kong. She carried it all the
time, like a pacifier. It was such a cute sight. When she dropped it and it sunk to the bottom of the pool, she would come to me and whine to show me. Her tiny tail wagged so hard when I got it for her. I miss her. She passed away in May at 12 years old. Nana |

Our kong routine involves either a half slice of American cheese melted in the microwave (just pop the whole kong in there for about 10 seconds), swirled around and frozen, or peanut butter with chunks of carrots. Orson curls up with his empty kong on the sofa, and often carries it outside on bathroom breaks. Cate |
