Frequently Asked Questions

What can I freeze inside a KONG?
Peanut butter (xylitol-free), plain yogurt, or wet dog food all work well. Freeze for at least 4 hours for a long-lasting challenge.
Are freezable toys safe for puppies?
Yes — the KONG Classic and Chilly Penguin are both safe for puppies. Use the KONG Puppy (softer rubber) for teething pups younger than 9 months old.
How long do frozen toys keep dogs busy?
A fully frozen KONG can last 20–45 minutes depending on the filling and your dog's determination. The Chilly Penguin will usually last 10–20 minutes.
