    Default Kong Me!

    So this is probably a ridiculous question but I saw that Mike and Chris use EVO to stuff Kongs and Bella loves that! Question, do you stuff the kong with treats and then plug it with the wet food and freeze or do you just fill it with the wet food, i tried just filling it with the wet food and it was hard to get out and she eventually gave up. Also when you coat the Gallileo bones with EVO
    do you just slather it on and throw it in the freezer? You coat it 100%?

    The canned food is used exclusively in the kong when frozen, but you are free to be creative with whatever Bella prefers. Depending on the dog, if the Kong is made to difficult to empty they can become averse to the whole idea. Has she had exposure to learning to unstuff the kong (ie not just licking peanut butter , or getting loosely packed treats out)?

    You may want to not fully freeze the first few kongs, so that it is more immediately rewarding. She will have more incentive to work harder on the frozen stuff if she has experience that it is eventually rewarding.

    As for the bones, just the ends are coated to encourage chewing
