Kong Toy Enrichment Program
Below are some fabulous reasons for we want and use Kongs specifically;
•KONG toys are commonly considered key tools to help keep dogs safely entertained and challenged in a shelter environment. They can provide a productive distraction for dogs suffering from separation anxiety or boredom.
•Due to KONG toys’ durability, most dogs can be safely left alone with an appropriately-sized KONG and they will last through substantial chew sessions, especially when stuffed and frozen.
•KONGs can be easily cleaned for use with multiple dogs; most dogs lick them clean anyway!
•KONGs provide hours of chewing satisfaction and stimulation to help reduce stress and anxiety, which can be common in a shelter environment.
•It has been said you can hear a pin drop in even the loudest kennels right after stuffed KONGs have been distributed. KONGs can cut down on barking by keeping dogs calm and occupied.
•KONGs can help reduce post-adoption return rates; a familiar KONG can be a source of comfort for a pet acclimating to a new adoptive home.
