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. |

| What is your favorite thing to stuff a Kong with? I'm trying to get some ideas to give Roxy some variety to keep her interested in the Kong.
Thanks. |

| I mix canned pumpkin and plain yogurt, fill the kong, cap the ends with peanut butter and then freeze it. Ghost goes insane for those. _________________ Shadow's Blog Canine Hydrocephalus Support on Facebook "Being the parent of a special-needs pet means living your life constantly poised on the edge of a double-edged sword.

And yet, you never lose sight of how absolutely extraordinary that very ordinariness is, how difficult, remarkable and rewarding that fight to be 'just like everybody else' has been."

| I stuff mine with wet dog food (Usually Purina, but sometimes I spring for more expensive ones), along with some kibbles, and some milkbones.
This is how I stuff it (in a large Kong):
1. Put in about 2 fork-fulls worth of the wet food in. 2. Put some kibble in, only a little to cover up the wet food. 3. Put more wet food in. 4. Mix them up and crunch up the kibbles with a fork or a spoon. 5. Put more kibble, compress them. 6. More wet food, more compressing. 7. When its a little over half way full, I crunch up milkbones (or split them into quarters/halves) and jam them in. I make sure to literally jam them against the sides and the sides by the opening of the KONG, as this makes it harder to get them out. 8. Add a little more kibble, compress. 9. Fill the rest up with wet dog food until it is flush with the opening, compress. 10. Put in freezer for a few hours (or overnight), until everything is solid. 11. Give to dog while it is completely frozen.
When I do it that way, it takes Suka around 1 - 2 hours to finish it. But sometimes he gives up when he gets near the end, so I have to bang it on the ground to loosen up the pieces a little bit. |

| Peanut butter, apples/bananas, applesauce, baby food, yogurt. Not all mixed together but that's mainly our variety. I always freeze because it lasts longer. |

| Peanut butter, apple sauce, apples, bananas, pumpkin, yogurt, blue berries. I also freeze it. I usually cap the end with a treat and peanut butter to secure the treat. Haha. You can use a sandwich baggie, cutting off the tip to fill the Kong without as much mess. |

| Now how about cleaning it? It took me about 5 minutes of running hot water through it and me picking the remains out. There's gotta be a quicker way, right? |

| I haven't figured out cleaning yet. Dishwasher is useless. I might try one of the bottle brushes... Also from the baby aisle... I live in that aisle. For a dog.
Eventually your dog will take care of everything inside. Eventually. |

| I put some dish soap in a cup that will hold the kong, run water in it and let it soak overnight. That usually loosens the peanut buter enough to rinse it out. I didn't find that a bottle cleaner did very much, but I'm also really impatient and can't stand touch wet food...haha
I usually run it through the dishwasher once a week or so to make sure it's really clean. |

| I usually just use my finger with the Kong submerged in water and rub until all the peanut butter is out. Then if I'm ready to use the dishwasher I throw it in there. |
