Oh MAN. Gary calls me a Kong CHEF...
1. Bananananananamash: I mush up bananas and mashed potatoes and cram that in there. I recently got my Bug Off Garlic (OMG I LOVE IT) and sometimes I'll add a little bit of that to make the taters garlicky!
2. Easy-peasy-cheesy-green-beenies: I warm up some cream cheese, smush up cooked green beans, mix them together and stuff it in.
3. Fruit salad: I slice up all sorts of melons and apples, add them to some cream cheese and stuff that. Sometimes I freeze these and they lick and lick and lick the fruit forEVER.
4. Cheezburger: Just RECENTLY made this and they went NUTS. Raw hamburger + shredded cheddar = two amazingly happy dogs.
5. Friesta Friday: Consists of any leftovers that haven't gone bad. Usually it's carrots, rice, leftover COOKED noodles, cheese and any sort of meat I have still. Cram it all in there.
I use a baby-bottle washer. I have an actual Kong cleaner but on the baby bottle brush it has a nipple cleaner on the other end that works GREAT for pin-pointing hard-to-reach spots.

Here's a good link from the forum, and there's more if you do a search ;-)

When I was working I had two kongs that I kept in the freezer for our doggie helper to get out at lunch time:
One kong: smeared inside top edges with peanut butter- about a spoonful- not a ton- can be fatty... a small handful of kibble
Two kong: non-fat plain yogurt and sliced banana
Both stored in the freezer- the yogurt one can get a little messy at times, depending on how your puppers nibbles on it.
I still grab a kong and smear the inside with peanut butter when I need Sienna to mellow out and be busy- I get a whole 5-10 minutes LOL, but it does help!! Freezing them will make them last longer!!
For cleaning I usually use a baby bottle brush or just my pointer finger with some detergent and spin it around the inside. I also plug the other end with one hand and fill with soapy water, shake and rinse. Every now and then (when I remember) the dishwasher.

My Molly is just starting to get interested in stuffed kongs. Sort of.... Mostly, she looks at it and then looks at me as if to say,' Really? I have a dish!'
I keep trying though. What she really loves is all the stuff I pull out of her mouth, like rocks and moss and yucky garbage and acorns and ....
