There are small ones but my girls don't care for them. They easily get the treat (if its a real good one) and that's it for the toy.

Sofia doesn't like hard toy. She had a kong once and she didn't even touch it. Im sorry I am no help:(, but I know someone here will help you with that.

If she is a chewer I think she will like it. They make puppy Kongs which are really tiny and also a softer rubber than the regular Kongs which would probably work great for your tiny one

Mine isn't a big chewer so I use her Kong to put peanut butter in or in the summer I will freeze it for a hot day treat and she likes that

My Emma is a major chewer, so various Kong and Nylabone toys are pretty much all that I trust her with! She loves them. Her favorite Kong toy is the treat ball, and her favorite toy ever is her pink Nylabone petite bone. Emma is also 2 years old - she's 4.8 pounds.

Snow LOVES kong toys (the ones you can put treats inside of)!! They are his favorite next to squeeky toys (and ones that sound like plastic) I have the puppy size ones in different patterns.. he doesn't care for them if there are no treats inside, well, sometimes i do catch him just biting em. Before i ever leave Snow to himself, i always make sure to put treats inside his kong toys and he won't even notice i'm gone until all the treats are all out. Sometimes when I'm going to be gone for longer than an hour or 2, I stick the treats inside so well he won't be able to take em out as easily just to keep him occupied. He has several so some of them i make easy, some of them i make it hard to get... :D

Jack loves his Kong treat toy. He's had his since he was a puppy. There are some good recipes for the toy here on MT. I'll have to go check where it is.

My two do not have any interest in their Kong toys. :( If I put treats in them, they fall out and that's the end of it. :o I also tried stuffing peanut butter in it and freezing it and that didn't even go over well. :confused: Maybe I should go check out that thread that Cheryl suggested.......

Tink loves her Kong. :heart5: When we first got it I put peanut butter in it and she was crazy for it. As she got older, she just wanted to play with it like it was a ball. Throw and fetch. So, that's it's purpose now. We play soccer with it and throw it. Oh, and I stand it up and tell her to "Knock it over!" and she does and then I have to reciprocate. We waste a lot of time with that silly Kong.:D
