How to fill the toy "Kong"

In the article “” we talked about the “snowmen” Kong and anti-vandal models for filling goodies. Such toys are a win-win option for any, even the most capricious dog. They are very durable, they are pleasant to gnaw and toss. But the most important thing is the treats that the dog gets during the game. Attracted by the appetizing aroma and bright taste, pets are ready to play around the clock – well, or until the treats run out! But what goodies to fill the toy? Yes, so that they are not only tasty, but also healthy, and the dog could not extract them too quickly? Let’s talk about this in our article.

The easiest option is to fill a Kong toy or other treat toy with ready-made dog treats. Pet stores have a huge selection. High-quality treats are not only tasty, but also very healthy. For example, you can choose prophylactic sticks or brushes that care for your mouth and eliminate plaque. Or you can fill the toy with traditional vitamin sausages, sticks and mini-bones, fillet pieces (for example, Mnyams natural chicken strips and duck breasts) or, for lovers of gourmet treats, Mnyams biscuits and cheese bones. You can put several different treats in the toy – it’s even more interesting. The main thing is that they hold firmly and do not fall out too easily. The larger the treats, the harder it is to get them. So, the more interesting the game will be.

For the first time, it is better to fill the toy with medium-sized treats so that the dog can easily get them and “bit through” all the charm of the game. Gradually complicate the task. Let the dog be smart! Some pets learn to toss the toy up so that treats fall out of it. Others cross it with their paws and drive around the apartment. And still others prefer to lick the toy from all sides, so that the saliva softens the treat and it could simply be reached with the tongue.

Wondering which way your dog will choose?

If there were no ready-made treats at hand, it does not matter. There are a huge number of options for fillers for toys. Be creative, but don’t overdo it. Only pet-safe products can be used.

Recipe number 1. For canned food lovers.

Does your dog love canned food? So why not fill the toy with it? But to cope with the task was not so easy, freeze the toy! First, fill it with food, close the large hole with a slice of melted cheese and place this splendor in the freezer. As soon as the food and cheese harden, you can give the toy to the dog! She will be happy!

A win-win option for canned food is “High Cuisine Dishes” from Mnyams. They are prepared according to European recipes, with the addition of vegetables, fruits and aromatic herbs. The dog will not miss the opportunity to enjoy something special!

Recipe number 2. For fruit and yogurt lovers.

Does your dog mind eating fruit? Don’t wait for her to steal an apple off the table. Give her Fruit Ice! Prepare apple-pear puree (no added sugar) in a blender, fill it with a toy and close the holes with soft cheese. And now, as in the first recipe, freeze.

Instead of fruits, you can use natural yogurt.

Recipe number 3. For gourmets.

For avid gourmets, you can’t imagine anything better than meat! Fill the toy with selected meat pieces. It can be fish, chicken, beef, etc. The main thing is that the meat is cooked without salt and spices. If desired, it can be mixed with cereals, for example, with rice. Seal the openings of the toy with soft cheese and freeze it in the freezer. Ready!

Frozen stuffed toys are not so easy to empty, and the dog spends more time on them! Especially frozen toys are recommended for puppies during the period of changing teeth, as the cold helps to relieve discomfort and pain in the oral cavity.

When the pet has played enough, do not forget to wash the toy (Kongs can be washed directly in the dishwasher). Remove the remnants of the filler with a brush or toothbrush. And now she’s ready for the next game!
