Established in 1976, The KONG Company has been providing mental and physical stimulation for dogs for over 40 years. Based in Golden, Colorado, KONG makes uniquely recognizable dog toys that are built to last.

Dogs need to play and feel puzzled. KONG helps these instinctual needs be fulfilled by millions of dogs around the world. They are perfect for crate training, separation anxiety, boredom, weight management, teething, chewing, digging, and barking.

Stuffing Your Classic KONG

When stuffing your Classic KONG with food, it’s recommended you mix up a few different treats together prior, then fill the KONG. You can check out their website for stuffing recipes. Be sure to seal it with peanut butter or the KONG-made Easy Treat Paste to seal it shut, so nothing falls out. For an added challenge freeze it for 4-6 hours before playtime.

To clean it, it’s dishwasher safe in the top rack. Or just rinse out with warm water and dish soap to loosen everything. Clean out the stubborn bits with an old toothbrush.
