I've just stuffed a kong cookie in or smeared peanut butter and cream cheese in mine at times. Other times I've really loaded them up putting the tastiest treat (beef lung or liver) at the narrowest end with a variety of other treats in between and then a large biscuit at the widest end.

I think you might be able to find some specific kong stuffing recipes online.

Keno loves her Kong (greatest invention for dogs).

We put peanut butter, cheese, dog treats, bananas, etc.

You can put a mixture of stuff in it and freeze it for a few hours - takes longer for them to clean them out

I was introduced to that toy by people on the forum. I love that thing!
I have been stuffing it with dog biscuits. He'll chew on it for hours. I also bought some Kong paste and I'll mix in some dog biscuit pieces and freeze it.
I haven't tried anything else yet.

Ah, yes freezing it will reduce the mess by a lot. >^^;<

My recipe is simply cottage cheese, peanut butter, some dry food, and into the freezer.

We have 8 kongs, so I can rotate them, the dogs go nuts when you say the K word, hehehehehe. I used to PB in them, but since Mariya gained a little weight, I use laughing cow lite spreadable cheese, or light cream cheese, I have stuffed them with pupcorn on occassion, but mostly scrambled egg whites, and 1/2 piece of lite wheat toast, spread with the cheese.

Kongs also come in "Puppy", "Regular" and "Hard" or something like that. The puppy is softer, so on and so forth. Raven loved her Kong and she loved the paste. The paste is kind of expensive and it goes fast, but she loved it.

My dogs love them so much. I stuff peanut butter, milkbones, and frozen dog treats that you can get at publix and walmart in the freezer department

This is a kong toy, I have 2 of these, and 6 of the fire hydrant ones at walmart, which are way cheaper, and seem to be just as sturdy, I have 3 sibes, and they haven't destroyed any of them. http://www.kongcompany.com/worlds_best.html

I'm assuming by "hybred" - you mean your dog is 1/2 husky, 1/2 wolf? If so, and dog is a hard chewer, you will have to buy the toughest Kong to stand up to chewing.

I think the black ones are supposed to be tougher then the red.

We have a red one that is shaped like a dumbbell - not the big end/small end one. We got ours at Petsmart.

I'll try again but my pup has never cared for Kongs -- I've stuffed three different kinds & he's ignored them.

I'll keep trying -- maybe as he gets older he'll develop more interest (he's not quite 8 months yet).

If your dog isn't interested in the Kong, try this:

My Pit has one, and she loves it! You can put treats inside of it, like a Kong, and treats come with it that are put on the OUTSIDES to "lock" in whatever's in the center! There are liver, chicken, and beef flavors, and the one I've posted is large, but there is Medium, Small, and X-Small.

ANd there's this one:

The green one is the same idea, but a little bit different from the blue one.

My Bernese Mountain Dog puppy (9 weeks old), thinks they're cool for about 5 minutes ...

I have an inside tip that Chuy is getting another one in his stocking

Shoooshshsh I know that they somehow know how to read these threads and call each othe (Furr kids). So make sure you put up or phone or someone will tell them what you just said.

I know that my older stallion calls my freind mare all the time. We had to take their cells away. They where running the bill up too much.
