THANK YOU for telling me about the Kong toy

A few of you recommended a Kong toy for my Husky to help with his dinnertime whining, and anxiety. I finally went into town to PetSmart and bought one. OMG! Where has this toy been since I owned the dog!! I love this thing. This is the greatest thing since sliced bread. I put a dog biscuit in it, TWO hours ago. He did chew the biscuit out of it in 1/2 an hour. I placed it on a table. I went outside to see what he was chewing on, and he took the Kong toy off the table and he's still chewing it. This is really going to help. Thanks for the great advice!!!

I'm glad someone recommended this for you and it's helping. Elsa's a big fan of moistened and frozen kibble in her Kong, mixed with peanut putter and banana. This would be a great place for some Kong recipes.

I just got my Chloe a puppy Kong. She likes licking out the Kong paste, but she does seem to lose interest in it before too long.

my pup hates Kongs (which sucks for me)

it seems that the strong polymer smell of it drives her crazy. she'll sniff it...then back away...then bare her teeth...then growl....then roll over on it...and growl at it some more...then finally she ignores it, and avoids where it is on the floor.

Chuy did not think much of his until he was about 14 weeks. I think it is going along with the teething. Also, we ran out of the Kong filling and started putting in cottage cheese, peanut butter, kibble and freezing it.

I need to get him another so we always have one ready and frozen !

I'm so glad it worked for you! The Kong has been a blessing for me. I think I was the one who recommended it, I'm not sure.. I'll have to go back and check lmao.

Snowshoe, what do you do with the Kong before you give it to your dog? >o.o< Unfortunately, the rubber smell is going to stay there until the dog uses it several times. What is your dog's FAVORITE people food/treats?

My puppy loves her kong too! Another good one is the Buster cube (http://www.bustercube.com/), which I also got at PetSmart

My only complaint about the buster cube is that it's plastic. Elsa loves it, but the noise over wood floors and being rammed into furniture can be crazy.

Twist n' Treat is another awesome toy that can be stuffed with food. Somewhat similar to the Buster Cube, the dog must push it around to get the treats to dispense.
