Dog Recipes That Work Great In KONG Toys! 392 Wondering what to stuff inside of your dog’s Kong toy? The following dog recipes make delicious treats — whether you decide to stuff them inside a Kong toy, or just serve them up as special homemade treats for your dog… anytime! Truth be told… the list of things you can stuff inside of your dog’s Kong toy is virtually endless! You can either make up your own Kong recipes (based on your dog’s personal tastes) using a combination of two or more pet-friendly foods, or you can rely on pre-tested fillings that have worked well for others. Dog-Friendly Treats To Stuff Inside A Kong Toy Following are some great Kong recipes that have worked well for other dog owners. That said, use your own judgment in deciding whether or not to fill your dog’s Kong toy with human foods. Keep in mind, depending on how much food your dog obtains from “working” a Kong toy, you may need to adjust the dog’s diet appropriately. For starters, see why it’s important to use different kinds of treats each time you stuff your dog’s Kong Toy. And here are the secrets of stuffing a dog Kong: Try A Variety Of Sticky, Oooey, Gooey Substances! These are the human foods that you should NOT include in dog recipes or your dog’s Kong toy. Kong Fillings: My Personal Favorites Smear some peanut butter on a slice of bread. Fold up the bread and cram it into the Kong. Freeze & serve. Use your finger to line the inside of the Kong with something sticky (like peanut butter or honey) then toss medium-sized dog treats inside — the kind that barely fit inside the hole and are hard to get out. Try microwaving the peanut butter or cheese first — this makes it runny and easy to pour into the KONG and leaves very little to waste. Then layer with another food item. Then freeze. The microwaved peanut butter & cheese fills every crack and crevice inside the Kong acting as a glue around the other ingredients making it much more challenging for your dog. For the simplest Kong treat of all, just smear a little peanut butter or honey around the inside of the Kong. You’d be surprised how long your dog will work at this simple little treat. Foods You Can Stuff Inside Kongs In addition to your pet’s regular dry dog food and dog biscuits, as well as canned versions of dog food, following are some human foods that you might consider stuffing inside your dog’s Kong toy. (Each of these food items appears in one or more of the Kong Recipes which follow.) Apples Applesauce Apricots Baby Food (bananas, carrots) Bananas Beef (cooked) Beef Jerky Black Olives Bouillon Bran Cereal Bread Broccoli (raw) Carrots Cashews Cauliflower (raw) Celery Cheerios Cheese (American, Cheddar) Cheese Whiz Chicken Broth Cream Cheese Croutons (plain) Dried Fruit (bananas, apricots, apples) Eggs (cooked) Honey Liver (Freeze dried) Macaroni & Cheese (leftovers) Nectarines Nut Butter Oatmeal Orange Slices Pasta Noodles (cooked) Peaches Peanut Butter Potatoes (instant mashed, no skins) Pumpkin (canned) Ravioli Rice Rice Cakes Steak (scraps) Tomatoes (no greens or stems) Tortellini Tuna Turkey (leftovers) Velveeta Wheat Germ Yogurt (plain, lowfat, unsweetened, unflavored) Dog-Friendly Kong Recipes These Kong stuffing recipes feature unique combinations of your dog’s own kibble, dog treats, and other pet-friendly foods. Put some Kong Stuff ‘n product (or Cheese Whiz) in the small hole first. Then toss in some dry dog food and/or small dog treats — broken in pieces — next. (We use Bil-Jac for this.) Top with some canned dog food mixed with dry dogfood and/or peanut butter smeared around the entire inside of the larger hole. Place a dog biscuit into the large opening, and leave about 1/3 of it sticking out. Freeze. (Or not.) Moisten your dog’s own food, then spoon it into the Kong toy. Freeze. Cram a small piece of dog biscuit (or freeze-dried liver) into the small hole of the Kong. Smear a little honey (or Kong Stuff ‘n product) around the inside. Fill it up with dry dog food. Then block the big hole with dog biscuits placed sideways inside. Combine your dog’s favorite treat with some moistened dry dog food. Other Tasty Kong Recipes To Try The following Kong stuffings are made with one or more human food ingredients: CHEESY ELVIS: Combine a ripe banana, 3 spoonfuls of peanut butter, and a slice of cheese. Mix until blended well. Fill the Kong and freeze. MONSTER MASH: Instant mashed potatoes (without the salt) — or leftover mashed potatoes from dinner — mixed with crushed dog biscuits. DOGGIE OMLET: Combine a scrambled egg, some beef, yogurt, cheese and mashed potatoes all together FIBER CRUNCH: Combine bran cereal with some peanut butter. KONGSICLE JERKY POPS: The equivalent of a popsicle… Seal the small hole of the Kong toy with peanut butter. Fill to the rim with water and a pinch of bouillon (or just use chicken broth instead). Place a stick or two of beef jerky inside. Freeze. (This one gets messy in a hurry, so it’s recommended only for outdoor use.) GOOEY CHEERIOS: Combine cheerios and peanut butter. Freeze. FRUIT KITTY NOODLES: Mix together some dried fruit, cooked pasta, banana and dry cat food. BANANA YOGURT: Plain yogurt and mashed bananas. (You can also add a little peanut butter or other fruits.) Then freeze it. PEANUT BUTTER GLUE: Fill Kong 1/3rd full of dog food. Pour in melted peanut butter (after it has cooled from microwaving). Add more dog food, followed by more melted peanut butter until the Kong toy is full. Freeze until solid. ROCK-HARD KIBBLE: Combine some of your dog’s regular food with cream cheese, which acts as a cement, keeping everything inside. STICKY BREAD: Smear peanut butter on a piece of bread. Fold it over and stuff inside the Kong. Mix together plain yogurt with some fruits or vegetables (carrots, celery) and pour inside. Freeze. The yogurt sticks to the bread holding everything together. APPLE PIE: Squeeze a small piece of apple into the tiny hole. Fill the Kong with a small amount of plain yogurt. Add a few slices of mashed banana, more apple, yogurt, banana. End with a slice of banana and chunk of peanut butter on the top.
