KONG Ziggies Enhanced Plant-Based Treats For Puppies

DHA and Kelp Dental Chews for Teething Puppies

Product Description

KONG Ziggies Enhanced Puppy are plant-based dental chews enriched with both DHA and kelp, specifically formulated to support oral health and teething from the start. DHA supports healthy brain and vision development, while the firm, chewy texture with dental ridges helps remove plaque and massage gums. Free from wheat, corn, and soy, these chews work as a daily treat or stuffed inside KONG Puppy rubber toys and KONG Tires.

• Supports Teething Relief: The firm, chewy texture with dental ridges is designed to soothe puppy gums and massage teething areas.

How to Use

Directions for Use 

• One per day: Allow one Ziggie daily; the serving is set for caloric balance and safe daily dental use during puppyhood.
• Stuff inside a KONG Puppy toy: Push the Ziggie into the opening of a KONG Puppy toy or KONG Tires and vary the position to give your puppy a different challenge level each session.

Additional Information

Precautions  

• For puppies over 3 months only: Do not give to puppies younger than 3 months; start only once the puppy is fully on solid food and old enough per the age guideline.
• Always feed correct size: Never give a size too large for your puppy's weight; the Small is for puppies up to 15 lbs and Medium/Large is for puppies over 15 lbs only.
• Not a complete meal: These are supplemental dental treats; always give alongside your puppy's regular complete and balanced diet formulated for their life stage.
• Always provide water: Fresh drinking water must always be available while your puppy enjoys a Ziggie.

Storage Information 

• Cool and dry location: Keep the bag somewhere cool and dry, away from direct sun exposure and humidity to avoid the chewy texture between uses.
• Reseal after each use: Close the bag tightly after every session; an open bag lets air in and can dry out or harden the texture over time.
• No refrigeration required: These store at room temperature; refrigeration is not required and may affect the texture of the chew.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How are these different from the Adult KONG Ziggies Enhanced?

Ans: The Puppy version is enriched with DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) specifically to support brain and vision development in growing puppies. The adult version does not include DHA. The puppy recipe also uses coconut oil instead of canola oil and does not include flaxseed, carrot, mint, or peppermint found in the adult formula.

Q2: What does DHA do for puppies?

Ans: DHA is a form of omega-3 fatty acid that supports healthy brain and vision development during early life. In this recipe, DHA is derived from dried kelp at 0.2% minimum. It is included specifically because puppies have higher DHA requirements than adult dogs during their developmental stages.

Q3: Can these chews help with teething?

Ans: Yes. The firm texture and dental ridges are designed to massage gum tissue during the teething phase, providing some relief from the discomfort of emerging teeth. The chewing action also helps clean early tooth surfaces and supports fresh breath as puppy teeth develop.

Q4: How do I use these inside a KONG Puppy toy?

Ans: Push the Ziggie into the opening of the KONG Puppy toy and vary where you position it to change how hard your puppy has to work to extract it. Pairing it with KONG Easy Treat spread around the inside can make the session longer and more engaging for puppies still learning to use KONG toys.

Q5: Are these safe for puppies with sensitive stomachs?

Ans: The plant-based formula is designed to be easy on a puppy's still-developing digestive system. The recipe uses no animal protein, wheat, corn, or soy. Every puppy is different, so introduce any new treat gradually and consult your veterinarian if your puppy has a documented digestive condition.

Q6: Are these treats grain-free?

Ans: No. While free from wheat, corn, and soy, the recipe contains tapioca starch and potato flakes, which are plant-based starchy carbohydrates. If your puppy requires a strictly grain-free diet, consult your veterinarian before introducing these treats.
