LONDON, ENGLAND - DECEMBER 28: Loki, a five-year-old Mongrel, who is looking for a new home, sits for a portrait at Battersea Dogs and Cat's Home on December 28, 2016 in London, England. Loki was brought into Battersea because his owners' circumstances changed and they were no longer able to look after him. According to the charity, "Loki is a very handsome boy who loves being around people. He's very easily won over with a tasty treat or a game of fetch. Loki is an active boy and he will need owners who are active and willing to provide him with lots of exercise and training. Loki is a loyal, affectionate and smiley boy who will be a great companion". Battersea Dog's and Cats Home was founded 150 years ago and has rescued, reunited and rehomed over three million dogs and cats. The average stay for a dog is just 28 days although some stay much longer. Around 550 dogs and 200 cats are provided refuge by Battersea at any given time. (Photo by Dan Kitwood/Getty Images)

Are you relatively new to the world of KONG rubber dog toys? Are you wondering how to get those treats into the center and keep them there? We understand and we are here for you.

We were once new to KONG dog toys. We didn’t have a clue how people stuffed with these dog treats and just let their pups go to town on the toy to get their treats out. Wouldn’t the treats just fall right out? And if you over fill it, won’t your pup struggle to get their treat out of the center? That’s where properly stuffing the KONG comes into play.

When you are a newbie to the world of stuffing treats into your dog’s KONG toy, then you’ll want it be relatively easy. Luckily the company makes it easy over on their website, with a quick step by step guide that even includes fill levels.

How to stuff treats into your dog’s KONG toy

On their website, they say it is as easy as mix, fill, seal, and give. But as they point out, you can basically stuff anything that is safe for your dog to eat into the toy and then just use either their Easy Treat edible sealer or dog safe peanut butter to keep whatever you stuff into the KONG inside until your dog licks it out.

However, as you get more familiar with this rubber toy, you’ll know that even filling with a wet mix or stuffing treats in strategically with one sticking out for your pup to chomp on will work. And even on their site, they show us individual videos of novice, average, and expert users stuffing a virtual toy, with the novice being loosely packed with just a single dog treat and a sealer. For the average user, there are a mix of treats and even more than the novice. And finally the expert user stuffs the toy full of treats and then seals it up.

Over on Instagram, they even share different recipes and ideas for stuffing your dog’s KONG and they make it easy to follow along no matter what your skill level.
