My puppy is teething and chews everything! Is the Puppy KONG treat-stuffing chew toy safe and effective for sore gums?

Absolutely! The Puppy KONG is specially designed with a softer, puppy-specific rubber formula that's gentle on your teething puppy's gums while still being durable enough to withstand chewing. It helps to satisfy their natural urge to chew and can even soothe discomfort from teething. Stuffing it with treats makes it an engaging distraction.

How do I get the most out of my Puppy KONG chew toy with treats?

Getting your puppy engaged is simple! Start by filling the KONG's hollow center with small puppy kibble or treats. For a greater challenge and longer distraction, you can stuff it more tightly. For an extra soothing treat, try filling it with a mixture of KONG puppy paste or soaked puppy kibble and freezing it. This turns your Puppy KONG chew toy into a longer-lasting, mentally stimulating puzzle.

What size Puppy KONG should I get for my new puppy?

Choosing the right size is key for safety and effectiveness. The Puppy KONG toys are sized specifically for puppies. Generally, the Small size is suitable for puppies up to 20 lbs (9 kg) and the Medium size for puppies 15-30 lbs (7-14 kg), but always refer to our sizing guide on The Pampered Paw website for the most accurate recommendation based on your puppy's breed and weight. A correctly sized KONG will be small enough for them to hold but not so small that it can be swallowed.

My puppy is a super chewer, even though they are young. Will this Puppy KONG hold up?

The Puppy KONG is engineered with a softer, proprietary formula specifically for young dogs and their developing jaws. While it's designed to be gentler on teething gums, it's still made from durable KONG rubber to withstand chewing. If you find your puppy is exceptionally destructive, you might need to supervise their playtime more closely to ensure the toy remains intact. For very aggressive chewers, even as puppies, it's always best to monitor their interaction with any toy.
