Yes, puppies can have Kongs with peanut butter as long as they are given in moderation and do not contain xylitol. Peanut butter can be a great source of protein and healthy fats for puppies. It is important to ensure that the peanut butter used is natural and not sweetened with xylitol, as this can be toxic to dogs. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the peanut butter is not too thick and is not stuffed too deeply into the Kong, so that the puppy can easily get it out and enjoy it.
What can I put in a KONG for an 8 week old puppy?
For an 8 week old puppy, you can put KONG Puppy Snacks, KONG Puppy Ziggies, canned soft puppy food, the puppy’s normal kibble, a high-quality kibble from the pet store, Sojos or other dehydrated food, soaked for 10 minutes, yogurt, peanut butter, soft dog food, or a mixture of these different items. To make the Kong more challenging, you can also push a bit of carrot into the end so that the puppy has to work to get the food out.
Can I give my 8 week old puppy peanut butter KONG?
Yes, you can give your 8-week old puppy peanut butter KONG as a reward for good behaviour. However, it is important to make sure to use a xylitol-free peanut butter, as xylitol is toxic for dogs. Additionally, it is important to make sure to only give them a small amount of peanut butter at a time, as too much can cause pancreatitis.
What age can you give a puppy a KONG?
Most puppies should be able to start playing with KONG toys at around 3 to 9 months old, once their adult teeth have come in. It’s important to ensure the toy is the appropriate size for the puppy, as a toy that is too large can be a choking hazard. For puppies, it is best to start with KONG Puppy rubber toys, and then gradually move up to KONG Classic or KONG Extreme toys depending on their chewing style.
What can I fill Puppy Kong with?
You can fill a Puppy Kong with a variety of items, including peanut butter, cream cheese, canned food, low-sodium beef broth, kibble, cheese, yogurt, cooked chicken, carrots, and other high-value treats. It is important to remember that treats should only make up 10% of a dog’s daily food intake, so it is best to fill the Kong with a combination of healthy food and treats.
