Quick Answer: The KONG Puppy Binkie Medium is a pacifier-shaped rubber toy designed for growing puppies. Made from KONG’s softer puppy rubber, it provides an appropriate outlet for supervised chewing and can be filled with puppy-safe food, treats or KONG Puppy Easy Treat for longer-lasting enrichment.
The KONG Puppy Binkie Medium combines puppy-safe chewing, food enrichment and reward-based play in one distinctive toy.
Its pacifier-inspired shape gives puppies several areas to hold, mouth and chew. The central opening can be filled with suitable puppy treats, softened kibble, wet puppy food or KONG Puppy Easy Treat to create a rewarding activity that encourages mental stimulation and appropriate chewing behaviour.
This Medium size may suit many small-to-medium growing puppies, although the correct choice should always be based on your puppy’s current mouth size, body size and chewing strength rather than breed or expected adult size alone.

The KONG Puppy Binkie can be offered empty as a supervised chew toy or filled with food to make the activity more engaging and rewarding.
Teething is a normal stage of puppy development. As new teeth emerge, puppies often seek objects to chew, mouth and investigate.
The KONG Puppy Binkie Medium gives growing puppies an appropriate rubber toy to explore during supervised play. Its softer puppy rubber and rounded shape are designed for puppies with developing teeth and gums.
The Binkie may help:
A puppy chew toy does not replace supervision, training or veterinary advice. Speak with your veterinarian if your puppy appears uncomfortable, has damaged teeth or shows unusual chewing behaviour.
The Medium KONG Puppy Binkie may suit many small-to-medium growing puppies, but size should never be selected by breed alone.
Before choosing this toy, consider:
Check the fit regularly. A toy that is suitable today may become too small or too soft as your puppy grows and develops stronger chewing habits.
Read our KONG Size Guide Australia for additional sizing guidance.
Depending on the individual puppy’s current size and chewing behaviour, the Medium KONG Puppy Binkie may suit some:
These examples are a general guide only. Puppies of the same breed can vary considerably in mouth size, body size and chewing strength.
Teaching puppies what they are allowed to chew is an important part of early training.
The KONG Puppy Binkie Medium can form part of this routine by giving your puppy a rewarding alternative to inappropriate household objects.
Puppies need more than physical exercise. Appropriate mental enrichment helps growing dogs practise problem solving, build confidence and learn how to settle.
A filled Binkie encourages your puppy to lick, chew and investigate how to access the food inside. This can make part of a meal more engaging while helping your puppy remain occupied during supervised quiet time.

The central opening allows the Binkie to be used as a food-enrichment toy. Adjust the difficulty according to your puppy’s age and experience.
Loose, easy-to-remove fillings help young puppies understand how the toy works and reduce frustration.
Introduce unfamiliar foods gradually and count all food placed inside the Binkie as part of your puppy’s total daily intake.
Never use peanut butter or another product containing xylitol. Xylitol is toxic to dogs.

Yes. The KONG Puppy Binkie Medium can be filled with a suitable puppy-safe mixture and chilled or frozen to create a longer-lasting enrichment activity.
For puppies new to frozen enrichment:
Young puppies often benefit from easier enrichment activities that allow them to experience success and build confidence.
See our Frozen KONG Recipes For Dogs for more enrichment inspiration.
The KONG Puppy Binkie Medium can support positive, reward-based puppy training when used as a chew toy, food reward or settling activity.
Common uses include:
When redirecting unwanted chewing, calmly remove access to the inappropriate object and offer the Binkie instead. Praise your puppy when they engage with their own toy.
A filled KONG Puppy Binkie may be used as part of a positive crate-training routine by giving your puppy a rewarding activity while they settle.
Introduce the toy gradually and supervise your puppy until you understand how they interact with it. The crate should remain a safe, comfortable space and should never be used as punishment.
