| I put freeze dried liver treats in Kong's. They're wide enough that they don't fall out and Indy loves trying to work it out.

| Peanut butter is a great filler. I use to fill the big dog kongs at the shelter with kibble then peanut butter over the hole. It kept the pupsters busy for hours! To bad Kaji doesn't have a taste for peanut butter. He prefers cheese chunks in his, it just doesn't last very long.

| Peanut butter is too high in fat for us so we just use plain nonfat greek yogurt. We fill the kong and then freeze it for a bit (not to deep freeze though) and they just love it. you can also do this with de-fatted chicken brother (freeze it inside the kong). Mine love both options.

| Jackson doesn't like PB so we do frozen plain non fat yogurt.

| Another vote for the plain non fat yogurt, frozen. Chloe loves it! Even after all the yogurt is gone, she'll still work at it just in case there is more hidden in there somewhere!!! Keeps her satisfied for a good two hours usually. -C

| I fill it with dog treats then cover the top with cream cheese. She adores it, but even using the special Kong treats that are supposed to last up to two hours, it takes her about 5 minutes to empty it She's so clever :P |

| Quick question - does anybody else's yorkies chew and eat up their kongs?? They are pricey and get chewed up in a matter of days. I went and bought the black one that supposed to be tougher, we will see.

| Woah really?! You must have some strong chewers! My Jackson is 16lbs and has never broken thru one, we have both the small size and regular size in the classic regular Kongs.

| I usually cut up some carrots and stick a ton in there for Sasha. It keeps her busy for quite awhile. |
