The Kong Classic for dogs is a marvellous device that allows you to stuff it with something that sticks to the inside and then to offer to your dog so that it remains both mentally and physically occupied for a good while.
Here's a link to Amazon, where you can buy your own at the normal price: amzn.to/39HROfI
Should your dog become an expert 'Konger', then you could stuff it as usual and then drop it into a bag and freeze it - this is likely to double the time it takes for your dog to empty it!
As you can see in the video, I was able to fit about a quarter of a pack of the wet food inside the Kong and so for Ruby, that means she could eat all of her daily food allowance spread over four Kongs, and that would take her about 40 minutes if they were soft or about 90 minutes if they were frozen. You could time the provision of the Kong to coincide with a conference call if working from home, when you prepare and eat your own meals, or when leaving your dog alone for sensible periods, or even a mini version if you're leaving a young dog alone in its crate at night.
I have used these Kongs for many years in my dog behaviour work and they have helped many a dog overcome issues such as separation anxiety, or the relief of boredom and to drain physical and mental energy.
I hope you like the video and enjoy watching Pip and Ruby getting stuck in!
