Gift Ideas for Dog Lovers: Kong (and Other Treat Toys)
Looking for a gift for a dog parent in your life? Or maybe some stocking stuffers for your own special pup? Here are some of Your Dog’s Friend’s favorite things…
Kong
A busy dog is a happy dog! And a busy, happy dog is less likely to chew on shoes, go counter-surfing, or any number of no-no behaviors. Today, we feature our favorite way to keep a dog busy and happy.
What is it?
The best way to keep a dog busy for… minutes to hours, depending on how hard you stuff it!
How much does it cost?
$5-12, depending on the size
What do I stuff in a Kong?
Anything and everything! Here are some of our dogs’ favorites:
- Wet dog food & kibble mixture
- Leftover people food (mashed potatoes, low-fat cuts of meat, vegetables, a bit of cheese)
- Canned pumpkin (this works best if you freeze the pumpkin-filled Kong overnight)
- Peanut butter (a little bit mixed in with other ingredients)
- Cheese (a little bit mixed in with other ingredients)
- Fat-free plain yogurt or fat-free cream cheese (another one that is good for freezing)
