I loved the article on titers and the one on foraging balls. Good work to the writers!
I have used Kongs and cardboard gift wrap tubes for my deaf girl dog who is a big chewer and I also put cardboard boxes out in the d0gs yard for her to knock around.
The food I use comes in a tube like sausage but is made with chicken,eggs,broth,carrots,brown rice and vitamins. It is called Freshpet Select . The company also makes a treat called The Loved Dog and it contains No wheat ,corn or soy.

I use the kong products for my 110lb lab, they are great but he is allergic to many things including wheat, pork and peanut butter. Any other suggestions of what I can “stuff” in the kong that will keep him entertained?

My Belgian Tervs, when younger, needed all the stimulation they could handle. If not, destructive behavior happens. One of our Tervs loved small cardboard boxes (he never ate them) to chew up, shred and toss around. Yes, it meant some cleaning up when I got home, but at least the couch or bed or whatever wasn’t chewed up too. Then we discovered the Molecule Ball. We filled it with small training treats or the small bits and pieces left from ‘cookie’ treat boxes. Occasionally, I put a bit of peanut butter at the ends to keep the treats from coming out too easily. Keeps them occupied for at least 30 or 40 minutes! The only place I’ve seen these balls is http://www.sitstay.com They come in small and large sizes. kkd

What a great idea!

I plan on using this technique with my day care doggies.

Thank you so much for the information!

I love this idea and have been looking for a foraging ball for my cat. I haven’t been able to find one, though. Do you know who makes/sells them?

Thanks!
