Treats to Keep Your Dog Busy


Here's a picture of Millie, sunning herself in this great weather we've been enjoying. Come in and see her (and the beautiful Siamese Willow) and check out our wall of Kong, including Frisbees, floating toys, and squeaker balls.

Here's a tip for the classic Kong: for most dogs to stay interested you really have to put something in them. To make the filling last a little longer you can stuff the Kong and freeze it over night. Good fillers include beef broth with a few small treats (you can tape the smaller end so it won't spill out), ground up peanuts, or a small amount of active culture, non-sweetened, non-fat organic yogurt. Lots of customers ask if this will make their carpet or floors dirty- but dogs tend to enjoy these treats so much that they lick up every drop!

As a note, remember to not overfeed your dog and account for his treats when you feed him meals. For more food dispensing toys and the best advice on how to use them, stop by the store soon.
