Warning! You will probably be hungry after seeing these 17 kong recipes. Luckily I ate right before gathering this large list.
Before we get started, if you don’t know what a kong is: A kong is a rubber toy with a hollow center that you can fill with food to keep your dog entertained while trying to eat. You can use these for your dog’s meal or as a treat. To buy a kong, you can get one pretty cheap on Amazon. Now for our list!
Please note that we didn’t have images for the recipes, therefore we sourced them from around the web and included a link to where we got them.
