Quick Answer: The KONG Puppy Binkie Small is a pacifier-shaped puppy toy made from KONG's soft puppy rubber. Designed for developing teeth and gums, it encourages appropriate chewing and can be filled with suitable puppy treats or KONG Puppy Easy Treat for rewarding enrichment.
The KONG Puppy Binkie Small is an age-appropriate chew and enrichment toy created for young puppies during their important teething and learning stages.
Its distinctive pacifier-inspired shape gives puppies several areas to hold, mouth and chew. The soft KONG puppy rubber is designed for developing teeth and gums, helping provide a suitable alternative to shoes, furniture and other household objects.
The centre of the Binkie can also be filled with suitable puppy treats, softened kibble, wet puppy food or KONG Puppy Easy Treat. This turns chewing into a rewarding problem-solving activity that supports mental stimulation and encourages puppies to remain engaged with their own toy.
The Small size may suit toy and small-breed puppies, although suitability should always be based on your puppy's current mouth size, body size and chewing behaviour.

Puppies naturally explore their environment with their mouths. During teething, this behaviour often becomes more noticeable as puppies search for suitable objects to chew.
The KONG Puppy Binkie Small provides an age-appropriate outlet for chewing while adding the option of food-based enrichment.
The 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 part of puppy development. Puppies commonly chew more frequently as their teeth and gums change, making it important to provide suitable toys that support appropriate chewing habits.
The softer rubber used across the KONG Puppy range is intended for developing puppy teeth. The rounded pacifier shape gives puppies multiple surfaces to mouth and chew while the treat-stuffing opening adds an extra source of interest.
The KONG Puppy Binkie may help:
Provide several suitable puppy toys and rotate them regularly to help maintain novelty. Always supervise your puppy and remove any toy that becomes damaged or too small.
The Small Binkie may suit toy and small-breed puppies during their early growth stages. Breed can provide a useful starting point, but the safest choice should always be based on the individual puppy.
It may suit:
Check the fit frequently as your puppy grows. If the Small Binkie becomes too small for your puppy's mouth or no longer matches their chewing strength, replace it with a more appropriate toy.
Read our KONG Size Guide Australia for more help selecting toys for your growing puppy.
The KONG Puppy Binkie Small may be suitable for some puppies from smaller breeds, including:
Breed examples are a guide only. Puppies of the same breed can vary significantly in mouth size, body size and chewing behaviour.
The treat-stuffing opening lets you adjust the difficulty according to your puppy's age and experience.
Easy-to-remove fillings help young puppies understand how the toy works and reduce the chance of frustration.
Introduce unfamiliar ingredients gradually and count food used inside the toy 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 Binkie can be filled with an appropriate puppy-safe mixture and chilled or frozen to make the enrichment activity last longer.
For puppies new to frozen toys:
Young puppies often benefit from easier enrichment tasks that allow them to experience success and build confidence.

The KONG Puppy Binkie Small can be incorporated into positive, reward-based training and daily routines.
Common uses include:
When redirecting unwanted chewing, calmly remove access to the inappropriate object and offer the Binkie instead. Praise and reward your puppy when they engage with their own toy.
