Oh, the gas! The horrible, horrible gas...
Let's get one thing straight first: dogs love this stuff. I mean they REALLY LOVE IT. Not just my puppy, but every dog in my office - the second this stuff comes out, my desk is surrounded by noses that smelled it from across the office. And they want it so bad they'll watch wistfully as my puppy devours it, just a little bit, from his Kong. When he's done, they get in line to steal the Kong and the lucky one will spend several minutes working on it just in case there's any left.
By the end of the afternoon, I am choking on the odor that rises at regular intervals from under my desk in nearly visible clouds of pure dog fart stench. By the time we get home, even the puppy will stop in his tracks every few minutes and startle at his own rear end, not entirely sure what's going on back there but knowing it's probably not good. By the end of the evening I am swearing to myself once again that tomorrow, no matter how desperate I am to occupy him and get some work done, I won't give this stuff to the puppy and turn him into a 6.5lb tactical nuke.
I think today was the last time he'll be getting it, and the rest of the can is going in the trash. It's just not worth it!

btw, things that are great for keeping puppies/dogs busy - grass-fed buffalo ears from Petflow (they're cheap!). Fill the Kong with canned cat or dog food, freeze it, and then give it to them (just remember to cut back on their regular food by an equivalent amount or you'll soon have a roly poly puppy). Or for something lower calorie, fill these with low-sodium chicken broth: Set of 2 - Easy Push Out - Ice Cube Tray w/Flexible Rubber Bottom Round shape freeze them, and pop them in the smaller Kongs (they fit perfectly). You can freeze the cat/dog food in them in advance too and put them in the Kongs whenever needed. Have fun with your puppy. :)
