How to choose the right size KONG Puppy: The size of the KONG toy should be based on your puppy's weight, but this is a guideline. For play to be enjoyable and safe, KONG should fit comfortably in your dog's mouth. If your pet can fit the whole KONG in their mouth, the size is inappropriate. If you are unsure which size KONG Classic to choose, always opt for the larger one. Available sizes: from XS to L.
KONG Puppy Size: KONG dimensions (height x width x length in cm): For puppies weighing (kg):
XS 5.7 x 3.6 x 3.6 up to 2
S 7.6 x 4.5 x 4.5 up to 9
M 8.9 x 5.7 x 5.7 7–16
L 10.2 x 7 x 7 13-30
What to fill KONG Puppy with: Dog peanut butter and treats, homemade filling, or KONG treats and paste. You can also use wet food, cooked pumpkin, or mashed bananas. Challenge your pet further and extend playtime by placing KONG in the refrigerator for 4-6 hours before giving it to your dog.
How to start: Show your puppy the KONG. Present it in an excited voice. Don’t give them the toy right away – let it be a hard-to-get reward for a while. Encourage and draw your dog's attention to the tasty treats inside. Give your pet the toy.
How to clean KONG: It’s simple: all KONG rubber toys can be washed in the dishwasher, on the top rack. Any dried remnants of treats inside the toy can be easily removed with a bottle brush if soaked beforehand. You can use dish soap.
Remember: KONG Puppy is designed with safety in mind, but no dog toy is indestructible. Watch how your puppy plays with the toy until you are confident that you can leave your pet alone with KONG. Regularly bend and check the toy for cracks. Discard worn and damaged KONGs immediately.
Tip: When your dog's teeth are fully developed (around 9 months of age), switch from KONG Puppy to KONG Classic (suitable for most breeds) or KONG Extreme (for destructive dogs) depending on their chewing style.
