My Vet told me only the white meat of an apple -- I think that the skin is too hard to dijest. But I'm not sure.

Mattie's 15 weeks old and he's been eating apples and banana's fine. But in very small bits and only a little at a time. He loves them. I haven't tried carrots yet. Just haven't bought any.

My little gal is 11 months old and eats all kinds of fruits and veggies for snacks. She loves her blue and white kong toy, especially with kibble/carrot pieces and peanut butter in it....keeps her busy for about 10 minutes!!!!! She hasn't chewed hers at all...she prefers squeaky play toys.

Archie has been eating carrots and apples as treats right from the start, so I don't believe 4 months is too young. He also LOVES mango -- I get the Organics frozen mango and thaw it and he gobbles it up like mad.

Tetley's not too crazy about his kong (the puppy blue one) but maybe it's just because I haven't put anything tasty enough in there yet.

He doesn't seem to like peanut butter. I'll put a mother hubbard cookie in there and it will take him days (or weeks!) to get it out. He just doesn't seem to like to work for his food!

Poco Bocelli LOVES his dark blue Kong but after only a few minutes of trying to get the treat out of it he will come to me and whine for me to get it out for him. That kind of defeats the whole purpose of giving it to him hoping it will keep him busy for awhile

I put his Science Diet biscuit in it and he'll play for a while getting it out. He's also one that gets frustrated and if it acts like it's stuck, he'll toss it off of the couch or bouce it to the wall to loosen it up.

We have the pink puppy kong, and Rainbow doesnt really chew it either, she is 1o weeks old, i think it is still a little too big for her to get it in her mouth, but her little tongue fits just perfectly in the little hole, she loves to lick it!

Holly_QD · 04-02-2007, 02:33 PM

She loves it and plays with it all the time, but she hasn't chewed through it. I've only been using the treats, but I wanted to ask, how much peanut butter do you put inside it? Please let me know.

winniethepooch · 04-02-2007, 02:53 PM

Winnie has the black kong...oh yes the one made for labs. Apparently she thinks she's a big dog with big teeth. She destroyed her red kongs...wouldn't even last the day. The black one is great. She hasnt been able to make a dent in it yet and we've had it for about 6 months now. She loves it when it has a treat inside, and she also enjoys fetching it. The only problem is that the black one only comes in large and extra large and it's a lot heavier than the red, so she has a hard time jumping up on the couch with it.

SasquatchMommy · 04-03-2007, 08:41 AM

My Sasquatch has the pastel blue one and LOVES it. She had trouble getting the treat out, but she loves to lick nutrical out if it, and I just started putting a skinny rawhide through it, and she is in heaven! I throw it and it bounces and she pounces on it and chews away! Whoever made those kongs knew what they were doing!

dark blue? i have only seen puppy blue/pink and white, red, and black. is there another level?? (say yes!)

medusa512 · 06-18-2007, 02:28 PM

forgot to say that you can freeze broths in it also. but it can be pretty messy with all that melting going on. i have put in the little kong treats before, but he gets those right out. maybe i'll try the treat + peanut butter.

i haven't used their cheese or peanut butter because i think $7 is too much to pay for processed cheese for any reason!

haha

Goodness, I thought that was impossible!

Everyone always raves about how they are durable and long-lasting. My Benji doesn't care much for his so his big brother Chico has "taken" it for his own. Chico hasn't even realized that he can actually [i]chew[i] the kong...he just lays there licking it.
