KONG Puppy Treat-Stuffing Toys
The traditional Puppy KONG shape is a versatile option for puppies that enjoy food-based enrichment. It can be filled with suitable puppy kibble, wet puppy food, small treats or other dog-safe ingredients to create a rewarding activity.
The unpredictable bounce can also add variety to supervised play and gentle games of fetch.
KONG Puppy Goodie Bones
The KONG Puppy Goodie Bone Small combines chewing and treat-based enrichment in a shape that many puppies can hold between their paws.
It is a useful option for smaller puppies that need a dedicated toy for supervised chewing and reward-based play.

Useful teething and enrichment options in this collection include:
- KONG Puppy Small, Medium or Large
- KONG Puppy Goodie Bone Small
- KONG Puppy Binkie Small or Medium

KONG Puppy Size Guide
Choose a KONG toy according to your puppy's current size rather than relying only on their expected adult weight. Puppies grow quickly, so check the fit of every toy regularly.
| Current Puppy Size |
Starting Point |
Important Check |
| Toy or very small puppy |
Small puppy toy |
Ensure the toy cannot be swallowed |
| Small to medium puppy |
Medium puppy toy |
Check mouth size and chewing strength |
| Medium to large breed puppy |
Large puppy toy |
Reassess sizing as the puppy grows |
If your puppy is between two suitable sizes, the larger option is generally the safer starting point. Read our complete KONG Size Guide Australia before choosing.
KONG Puppy Toys For Popular Breeds
Labrador Puppies
Labrador puppies are often food-motivated and may enjoy Puppy KONG toys that can be filled with kibble or puppy-safe treats. A Puppy Ball may also suit their natural interest in retrieving.
Staffy Puppies
Staffy puppies can be enthusiastic chewers. Begin with an appropriately sized Puppy KONG and monitor wear as adult teeth develop and chewing strength increases.
German Shepherd Puppies
German Shepherd puppies benefit from a combination of mental enrichment and interactive play. Treat-stuffing toys, balls and supervised training games can add variety to their routine.
Cavoodles And Groodles
Cavoodle and Groodle puppies may enjoy a combination of a smaller treat-stuffing toy, a comfort toy and gentle interactive play.
Border Collie Puppies
Border Collie puppies often need regular mental engagement. Food enrichment, simple training activities and toy rotation can help provide productive outlets for their energy.
How To Fill A Puppy KONG
A Puppy KONG can be filled with puppy-safe food to turn a simple toy into a longer enrichment activity.
Popular filling ideas include:
- Your puppy's normal dry kibble
- Wet puppy food
- Plain pumpkin puree
- Plain Greek yoghurt in a suitable amount
- KONG Easy Treat Puppy
- Small puppy training treats
- Kibble softened with water
Introduce new foods gradually and make sure every ingredient is appropriate for your puppy. Avoid products containing xylitol and consider your puppy's total daily food intake when using food-filled toys.
For additional ideas, visit our Frozen KONG Recipes For Dogs guide.
Can You Freeze A Puppy KONG?
Yes, an appropriately filled Puppy KONG can be chilled or frozen to create a longer-lasting activity. Puppies that are new to frozen toys may find a lightly chilled or partially frozen filling easier than a completely solid filling.
Start with a simple mixture such as softened kibble or a small amount of wet puppy food. Supervise the activity and adjust the difficulty to suit your puppy.
Using KONG Toys During Puppy Training
KONG toys can support positive routines when used alongside supervision, exercise and reward-based training.
Common uses include:
- Creating a rewarding quiet-time routine
- Encouraging puppies to settle after activity
- Supporting supervised crate training
- Redirecting inappropriate chewing
- Rewarding calm behaviour
- Providing enrichment during short periods of independent play
A toy should support training rather than replace exercise, socialisation or interaction with your puppy.
When Should A Puppy Move To An Adult KONG?
The transition depends on your puppy's age, size, adult teeth and chewing behaviour. As your puppy grows, a puppy toy may become too small or no longer suitable for their chewing strength.
Average adult chewers may eventually move to the KONG Classic range. Stronger adult chewers may need a more durable KONG Extreme option.
Read our KONG Classic vs KONG Extreme Guide before moving into the adult range.
How To Care For KONG Puppy Toys
- Inspect every toy before and after play
- Remove toys that become cracked, loose or damaged
- Wash food-stuffing toys thoroughly after use
- Use warm water and a suitable brush to remove remaining food
- Rinse thoroughly and allow toys to dry
- Check regularly that the toy remains an appropriate size
- Supervise puppies with plush and comfort toys

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best KONG toy for a puppy?
The best choice depends on your puppy's current size and how they like to play. A traditional Puppy KONG suits food-based enrichment, a Goodie Bone or Binkie provides another chewing shape, and a Puppy Ball is suited to supervised fetch.
Are KONG Puppy toys suitable for teething?
Puppy-specific KONG toys are intended for puppies and can provide an appropriate outlet during the teething stage. Always select a suitable size and supervise use.
What size KONG should I buy for my puppy?
Choose according to your puppy's current body and mouth size. Reassess the toy regularly as your puppy grows, and consider the larger suitable size when your puppy is between sizes.
Can I put food inside a Puppy KONG?
Yes. Puppy kibble, wet puppy food and suitable puppy-safe treats can be used. Include the food in your puppy's overall daily intake.
Can I freeze a Puppy KONG?
Yes. You can freeze a suitably filled Puppy KONG to make the activity last longer. Start with an easier, partially frozen filling for puppies that are new to enrichment toys.
Can a Puppy KONG help with crate training?
A filled KONG can be used as part of a positive, supervised crate-training routine by providing a rewarding activity while a puppy learns to settle.
Are comfort toys suitable for chewing?
Comfort and plush toys are intended for gentler supervised play. Puppies that chew strongly should be monitored closely, and damaged soft toys should be removed.
When should I replace a puppy toy?
Replace the toy if it becomes damaged, develops loose pieces, is no longer appropriate for your puppy's size or can be swallowed.
When can my puppy use an adult KONG?
The timing depends on your puppy's adult teeth, growth and chewing style. Move to an appropriately sized adult KONG when the puppy product is no longer suitable.
