What do you think of the Kong toy? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

ellie81 · 10-19-2006, 12:20 PM

Does your yorkie have a kong toy? Does he/she like it? I was thinking about getting one...
What do you put in it? Which one do you have?
I don't get it... if you put some peanut butter inside, how do they manage to eat it?
Thank you for your input

Benji has a kong and loves it. Every once in a while I put peanut butter in it and he goes crazy. They somehow manage to get all the peanut butter out of it. I don't know how though....haha. They have other stuff you can put in it and there are treats that go it it too. They are all made by kong too. Hope this helps!

I love the kong toys! They are the few toys that Hobbs has managed not to tear up! Silly boy

Is the peanut butter messy?

Jaxon's mom · 10-19-2006, 01:54 PM

I'm not exactly sure how Jaxon gets it out but he does, and there is no mess! I look at the Kong once he's done and you'd never even know there was peanut butter in it.

I only use natural peanut butter - no salt or preservatives added - just peanuts.

Chachi and Jewels love their kongs. I freeze peanut butter and yoqurt in them.

I haven't put anything inside, but none of my dogs have ever played with a kong more than a couple of minutes. I was wondering about messes, too, with stuff inside it.

All I put in Layla's kong are the little peanut butter treats, and I also break them in half so they're easier for her to get out. If she doesn't get any out for awhile she just gives up, so when they're broken in half she gets one every 5-10 minutes, and then she wants more. It definitely keeps her busy!

Mom2Max · 10-19-2006, 04:34 PM

both of my boys love their kongs! i do a few different things with them. sometimes i freeze peanut butter in it ( natural as well ) sometimes freeze yogurt ( plain) , and there are times when i mix a few pieces of kibble with a lil peanut butter .. keeps mine busy for awhile! sampson my boston also loves to just chew on his, and its actually the only toy that has never been destroyed in the 8 months we have had him. i bought the kong treats that go in them, but really think it was a waste of money, mine would rather have the peanut butter or yogurt and its much cheaper

i break up their treats and stuff it, they love them...when i had peanut butter in them, they didnt touch it lol

mizzwanned · 10-19-2006, 09:30 PM

I thought Teddy loved it but he hasn't played with it, I think it's because I got him the medium size and not the really small one, he loves small toys cause he can pick them up so if your baby is really small get the smallest one, although I would recommend getting Tiny Tennis balls too because they're so fun, Teddy LOVES those and the good cuz

TJCYorkie · 10-20-2006, 07:41 PM

Maci loves her little Kong! We put the little peanut butter snacks in the Kong that the Kong makers have for it. It keeps her busy for quite a while trying to get out of all of the treat!

I haven't tried freezing anything in the Kong like peanut butter or yogurt, but that would certainly work. If I did that, I think I would have to give her the Kong outside. It might create a little bit of a mess when everything starts melting.

However, the little snacks work great! I would highly recommend getting one, but every dog is different on what they like. Not all dogs will go crazy over this toy!

Rae Rae · 10-20-2006, 07:43 PM

Rocky isn't all that crazy about it. If he's bored he'll play with it, but it's not something that he'll forget about everything else. I've put peanut butter in it and ripped up some beggin strips, and some other treat thing too.
