Let's stuff some Kongs & prep some Lickimats!

A puppy with two stuffed kongs

Stuffing Kongs is a popular way to provide mental stimulation, enrichment and entertainment for your pup. Not only is it a fun way to keep your dog occupied, but it also offers several benefits for their overall well-being.


Here is a free downloadable PDF with our 5 favorite Kong recipes with instructions. Print this out and keep it handy on Kong stuffing day!


Benefits of Stuffing Kongs:

  • Mental Stimulation: Stuffing Kongs with treats or food engages your dog's brain, keeping them mentally stimulated and preventing boredom.

  • Helps Prevent Destructive Behavior: Dogs that are mentally stimulated are less likely to engage in destructive behaviors like chewing furniture or excessive barking.

  • Provides Mental Exercise: Working to extract the treats from a stuffed Kong can provide some mental challenges, especially if the Kong has been partially frozen.

  • Relieves Anxiety: For dogs that suffer from anxiety or general nervousness, a stuffed Kong can provide a calming and distracting activity.

  • Promotes Dental Health: Chewing on the Kong can help clean your dog's teeth and gums, promoting better dental health.




LickiMats!



LickiMats have similar benefits to Kongs, but they have a few distinct features. Lickimats are easier than Kongs, because the filling is right on top. The act of licking is calming for most dogs. We love using a LickiMat during human mealtimes or when guests are over.


We've included some favorite LickiMat recipes in a free downloadable PDF just for you! Have fun!
