Our dog Zulu is an unofficial test dog for the Kong Company which makes dog and cat toys. Her dad works for Kong so she gets to play with anything new that comes off the rubber toy press. Enter the Kong Easy Freeze.
Any guesses what this is? I’m sure it’s a no-brainer but for those who are a little unsure, this is an ice cube tray for dog treats. The Kong Company is a stickler for safe toys and products for their 4-legged customers so these trays are non-toxic and food grade. You can even use them for your own ice cubes.
The tray comes with these 3 mixes. Sweet Potato and Maple, White Cheddar Cheese and Chicken Soup. Hydrating and irresistible. Not that I’ve tasted any of them but I’ll take Kong’s word for it.
The powders are easy to mix. Throw the packet contents into 8 ounces of warm water and mix well.
Pour the mixture into the ice cube tray.
One packet of flavouring makes up one Easy Freeze ice cube tray. Pop it into the freezer for a few hours to freeze.
Once ready, turn the Kong-shaped cubes out by running warm water over the back of the tray.
The test dog was eager to try this new treat. Well, she’s eager to try any new treat really.
Look at that eye. It’s the look of expectation.
Yum. Snack. Chicken soup. I want to try the other 2 flavours. Make some more! Please.
Ooohhhh my pups would love this. I need to go to our local pet store and see if they have these. Kong toys drive our dogs insane, but it keeps them busy for a while.
Our dog has $100 worth of free Kong toys in the backyard and she prefers chewing on an empty plastic bottle. Go figure!
@Traci, your dog could share with other dogs that DO like Kong toys and have not been gifted $100 worth of free toys … like maybe the local animal shelter … (my own pack would volunteer but the shelter is probably more politically correct
)
just sayin’
Thanks Wendy! So glad you mentioned the shelters – Kong gives away many of their ‘seconds’ to shelters and zoos
Love Kongs! Love to feed dogs from Kongs! Love to recommend Kongs to dog training clients. Love to donate Kongs to shelters. Kongs are unique! However, you can find non-toxic, food grade, BPA free, silcone ice cube trays at the 99 cent store and fill with chicken broth, beef broth, yogurt, sweet potatoes, canned dog food mixed with water, cooked oatmeal, ground raw diet, canned salmon mixed with water, canned tuna mixed with water, or any other combination that you can come up with. Less commercialism and and re-invention of the same thing to market to a specific audience creates less use of resources, less pollution and less packaging in our landfills. Still LOVE Kong and the Kong Company.
I live in the UK and was wondering if there was anyway I could get hold of these? Thanks
