I am buying for gift, and don't shop for doggie stuff, so help! What brand/kind of dog treats should I buy to give as filler for the large toy?

I usually fill it about 1/3 full with my dog's regular kibble--Wellness for large dogs--and then add a little of Milk Bone Trail Mix to sweeten the pot. Seems to make him happy!

Small hard treats work best, they fall out much easier. The softer ones tend to get stuck. I use Grizzyly Nutreats - Wild Salmon Treats from the Healthy Pet Store. Enjoy!

I dip a dogie bone in the dogsbutter occasionally for an extra treat. I would definitely ask your vet to be 100% sure if you can give daily.

If I were you, I would purchase the puffed lambs ears. They are larger in size. I have an Italian Greyhound and give her the puffed lambs ears. I just cut them in half and give her a smaller piece at a time. She really enjoys them!

Hmmnnn...I am going to suggest "no." Just because of the stuffing; I think it has "beans" in it. Also, it smells like strawberries. I am not sure how long it would last with a big dog who likes to rip stuff apart. But if your dog just needs a cuddle bunny then it's perfect! It's got the cutest expression on its face! :)

Try an extra large. They are big and you can remove some of the stuffing to make a deeper hole for nesting a larger dog. As the stuffing becomes more dense you can add the saved stuffing back in.

Yes it will fit into the toy - I have also broken up dog bones and put them in there - my favorite are the Bil Jac treats. It's a great toy - good idea on dividing up meal time.

I hope you can look on line at an ingredient list. I bought mine on Amazon and then Costco sold them briefly. I hope Costco will reorder them - my 2 dogs love them!

You know, that's a good question with the fear over dog jerky treats from China. I wish I could help you out with this one. Makes me want to think about buying more.

I've purchased super soft & cute covers from babies/toys R us, target and amazon; they're everywhere.... I'm partial to the micro-fiber--ish giant cute animals (monkey- my son loves that one, owls, giraffes, pony's etc. In pastel-O'Shea colors, find Inés I like, then shop the aforementioned

Cheerios would fit in the large size, the one I have. I fill ours with her regular dry food and top it with peanut butter to keep her busy for a little bit longer. I've never purchased the official treats.

I would use these with any dog, large or small. They are intended for training so the dog should only need to smell and taste the treat. One or two is enough in most cases and a few would be plenty for a larger dog to get the idea.

These treats are rectangular, about 1" wide by 2" long. They can be broken into smaller pieces, if your pet-child likes Pea-sized treats. My Bulldog gets 1 or 2 a day, hidden inside her Kong ball. The 16 oz. bag has lasted a very long time and I would guess there are at least 80+ pieces (that's guess, since the bag is sold by weight) Hope this gives you a good ballpark idea ~ good stuff & worth a try!

I bought the small one for my lab pup and it was perfect size, although I belibe there is one even smaller than the "small" sized one. Try the medium sized one, cause it won't matter so much the size as even if it is too big your dog will still be able to work on getting the treats out and can still chew on different ends of it.

I use Purina small bites in ours. Works perfectly! The pet stores also carry treats that fit but I prefer to just use kindle. It's cheaper and it doesn't upset his tummy.

I don't know if you've gotten responses yet, but I would try the Extreme (black) Kong toys, especially the XL or XXL black kong and the large black kong ball. I had a extreme power chewer and he played with his for 6mths and still no wear (the ball). Eventually he did start getting little pieces off the regular kong, but it still was very durable. I would recommend getting a kong that is bigger than you think he needs, b/c that will make it more difficult to damage, while still allowing him to play with it easily. And you can check out the huge nylabones (non-edible) and see how those work for him; mine was a 60lb lab, and he could destroy any except the largest very quickly. They are great for supervised play though. Hope this helps!

I guess you'd have to contact the manufacturer. I've trusted it and have been very pleased with it. It was recommended to me by some very knowledgeable dog breeders and owners that I trust. I would be shocked, I guess, if this product were anything less than of the highest quality - I hope I'm right!!

Haven't ordered from Amazon but when I bought the large box from the pet store that recommended Preference to me, I found that there was more fine vs larger pieces...and it made for a very soupy mix...but as for Amazon's product--sorry, can't help...but I am planning to order from Amazon since we are out of town and I can't find Preference locally...
