Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Subject: what size kongs? Fri Mar 23, 2012 2:19 pm | |
| I've read alot about how many of you stuff kongs with peanut butter, pumpkin, etc. but what size are you using? Should they be able to get their whole snout inside the hole? I'm just trying to visualize. I had bought Artemis a puppy Kong when I first got her but she didn't really show alot of interest. I'm thinking maybe it was so small that she couldn't get anything out of it so it wasn't worth the effort? |

| I bought the large Kong balls for my dogs and, though they initially just batted them a little and walked away, they now play with them far more than their other toys. And for longer periods of time. I wouldn't be discouraged yet. |

| I have the Red Classic Kong for Luna. I usually stuff it with her Orijen 6 Fish Kibble, 2 different types of treats and mix in the Kong peanut butter. After I've packed it in and I freeze it over night. She spends about an hour with it. She doesn't really chew it she just shoves her tongue inside and licks it the entire time haha. |

| Kale is almost 59 pounds and I have the size large red kongs. He doesn't chew them much just licks, so the black ones aren't a nessecity over here lol but if your pup licks to chew when eating out of them, I suggest the black ones. |

I have always been afraid of getting kongs for my Husky as you can see above sometimes a dogs tongue gets stuck. Is this because its the wrong kong?? Are they too small? I would love to find something to entertain my Bob but wondering if any of this is true.
Thanks |

| The opening to kales is too big for his tongue to get stuck... so id suggest sizing up if thats something that worries you. |

| The opening on ours is rather small but there is a hole in both ends... I would assume the holes in both ends prevent any suction from forming and causing a tongue to get stuck. I often wonder how Sabaka gets his tongue WAAAY down in there to get out every drop of yummy goodness that I put in it! I think the size is Large... |
