KONG FAQs
How do you clean KONG toys?
Most KONG rubber toys are dishwasher safe, making them easy to clean. For a deeper clean, you can use warm, soapy water and a brush to scrub out any leftover food particles. Always ensure the toy is completely dry before giving it back to your pet.
What can you stuff a KONG with?
The KONG Classic and other treat-dispensing toys are designed to be stuffed. You can use KONG's own Easy Treat paste & or snacks, or get creative with your dog's favourite treats like peanut butter, kibble, or a home made recipe. You can even use the KONG Fill or Freeze Tray to freeze broth to extend playtime and provide a rewarding challenge.
Which KONG is right for my dog?
Choosing the right KONG depends on your dog's age and chewing habits. The KONG Puppy toy is made from a softer rubber for teething pups. The KONG Classic is ideal for average chewers, while the KONG Extreme is built for power chewers. Always select a size that is appropriate for your dog to prevent any risk of swallowing, and if you are trying to decide between 2 sizes, always choose the larger size.
