~Stuff Your Kong! :)

Kong Toys - Rubber chew toys and Treats are known throughout the world for their legendary strength, quality and performance! They are used and recommended by dog trainers and veterinarians worldwide. Prevent under stimulation, boredom, separation anxiety and other behavior problems by getting a Kong for your pet.

While the Kong Stuff'n is great in a pinch, we prefer to use ingredients found in our pantry and fridge. Be creative and make sure to know foods that are potentially poisonous for your pet before you get started.

Here are a few recipes we have tried and found that our dogs love 'em!!

Steak Umms!
Steak scrapes
1 ounce cream cheese
Place small scapes of the steak inside the Kong Toy and then spread cream cheese in large hole to hold the scrapes.

Twice Baked Mac & Cheese!
Leftover macaroni and cheese
Small cube of Velveeta
Melt Velveeta in microwave until gooey. Add Mac & Cheese to Kong Toy and then pour heated Velveeta into Kong. Make sure it has cooled before giving to your pet.
