Hot Rod LOVED the kong! He still likes it now but when we first got him, he would go nuts on it! Here is a picture of him with it. He would gnaw on it and gnaw on it! I found 2 different treats to stuff in it. I have not tried the can stuff or peanut butter.

What an adorable picture. It should be a Kong ad

Lucy loves her Kong. I fill it with peanut butter and she is a happy (quiet) girl for quite some time!

I would definitely suggest buying a kong, both of my dogs love them. I fill them with things such as their food, cheerios, peanut butter, kong stuffing, etc., and it keeps them busy for a bit. They're good to give them when you're going out as well.

Yup, there's an opening in the middle of the kong, and you can stuff it with whatever you want. The kong brand also makes other toys, so not all of them you stuff.
Here's their site so you can take a look:

My maddie loves her Kong too. We actually got her the small Kong made for Yorkie sized dogs first and she loved it but had a hard time getting the treats out. I would actually start to frustrate her. I found that the puppy kong was easier for her and she chews on it for a long time. She loves it when we stuff her treats inside.

I do have on quick question. For those of you who put peanut butter inside, do you freeze it? I heard someone once say that they put peanut butter in it and then put it in the freezer. If you don't, do you find that it makes a mess?

Nikki is at the chewing stage right now too. She loves the baby Kong, and Dr. Noys dog toys (tiny size) she loves to bite the middle and it squeaks, and a chicken flavored Nylabone (tiny size).......she has tons of other toys, but those are the one's she has for chewing. As with any toy........make sure you supervise them and thow the toy away if it gets worn so they don't swallow anything.

YorkieGeorge · 04-06-2008, 01:51 PM

all of my adult yokies loves kong. Even the puppy

here is a photo of puppy chewing on the kong toy

Kongs are great. They have so many different varieties now. (Rubber Kongs, Tennis ball material kongs called air kongs and wubbas...) You should google kong toys or toys for small breeds. You should find lots of different products.

onebigteez · 04-07-2008, 03:50 PM

Wow, those look so cool, and I like the idea to give them the kong before you leave! They need something to entertain them while I'm gone.

The Kongtime is great for entertaining your Yorkie with continuous active play.

Spike has three kong toys, and he loves them. He has a small and medium sized kong, and a kong ball. I fill them with kibble, and them plug the hole with a small amount of wet food and freeze it. It keeps him busy while I'm trying to sleep!

You might want to try the puppy Kong over the xs or s Kong with Prudence (due to her small teeth)
