We first bought the puppy size kong for my mini dachshund to help keep him busy while I was doing house work and studying for school. My baby is such a mama's boy that he wanted to be held all the time. This was such a life saver to me that I later upgraded to the larger red kong because little Bucky became a toy killer and could destroy any toy in 5 minutes flat. We love our kong! It's Bucky proof and has been the best babysitter I ever paid for. We have found many healthy recipes to stuff it with for snack time and if i plan to be gone awhile I'll even freeze it at times to keep him busy till I get home.  bucky has also taught me that it makes a great bouncy ball toy unstuffed too. HAHA....he'll toss it himself and chase it. We highly recommend this toy for anyone needing a good babysitter or indestructible toy.

We put wet food inside. Hanna thinks that wet food is a treat:)

Yeah I tried the peanut butter. My previous dog loved her kong... not so much for this one. He's just a different dog.

Have you tried stuffing it with peanut butter? It's way cheaper than the stuffing they make for it which we never buy anymore due to price. I smear the peanut butter on the inside, stuff with small treats, then rub a thin layer of peanut butter on the bottom. Bucky tell's me this is the best treat ever.

We got one of these when we first got our dog 6 years ago and still have it... he doesn't really like it as much as we thought he would. Great information though and thanks for sharing. Bucky sounds like a lively pup.
