A lovely lady on a Doberman group sent me this and thought I'd share with you guys....
Kongs are a great tool for our beloved pooches and a great boredom buster. For a good distraction to use for a dog with separation anxiety or just for a few hours peace.
With a little thought and a few extra items on your shopping list you can make a different filler for every day. You can freeze them to make them last a little longer,too. Each night just give it a wash and fill up with the mixture and put it straight into the freezer ready for the following day. A little tip, wrap your filled Kongs in clingfilm before freezing to prevent any mess and stop freezer burn.

- Day 1, pâté, cottage cheese and a handful of chopped or dried parsley. Simply mix half and half add your parsley which is a good herb to aid digestion and settle tummies. It's also great for bitches having phantom pregnancy’s. Once you've mixed this up in a bowl stuff and freeze.
- Day 2, sweet potato, banana, honey and cinnamon. Boil your potato and mash it with your banana then add a glut of honey ideally manuka which is famous for its natural antiseptic qualities and half a teaspoon of cinnamon which is all renown for its health benefits and a great antioxidants that's dogs love
- Day 3, salmon paste jar, hand full of oats. I also add some spiritual to ours and ground flax seeds but that optional. Again simply mix in a bowl, stuff into kongs and freeze. The oats are great for any skin issues.
Day 4, boil rice in watered down unsweetened coconut milk or goats milk once cooled add a hand full of desiccated coconut and a tea spoon of coconut mix together, stuff and freeze.
Day 5, make up bone broth a few days before so it's ready and at a jelly like consistency. Wrap the bottom of your Kong in cling film and place upright with the covered bottom in a cup to keep the top upright and start spooning in your jelly broth. Wrap the top freeze and treat.
Day 6, peanut butter, banana and coconut oil. So simple just mash your banana with the peanut butter and a tsp of coconut oil stuff Kong and freeze. I use sunpatt peanut butter as this has no palm oil in.
Day 7, Probiotic sugar free yogurt, cream cheese & blueberries.Great for sunny days. Just lightly mash the blueberries and mix with a fork add a table spoon of yogurt and good dollop of cream cheese. Mix, stuff, freeze. Blueberries are a firm favourite with my dogs and are a great antioxidant.
Hope you found these useful!
