sluj Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Peanut butter is yummy, but pretty rich. I usually use kibble mixed with yogurt and frozen, but then again, my dog isn't picky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journey Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Squirt Cheese or take some large cookies and break them and stuff them in it. Yogurt w/some honey, bananas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb Scott Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 I always squeeze in a big enough to fit dog biscuit. Keeps a puppy busy for quite awhile. Barb S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizmo Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 I fed my pup his meals in the Kong a couple times. Put the dog food in and they roll it around so the kibble spills out. Â Also, I would fill it up with kibble, then seal the top with a thin layer of Peanut Butter. I didn't freeze this, but you certainly could.

PSmitty Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 I've stuffed Kongs with peanut butter for my dogs, from puppyhood on up. So far (knock on wood) it's not been too rich for any of them (Of course I'm not talking about packing it full, either). I like to add a little kibble or break up a couple of dog cookies and add to the peanut butter. I've heard some people use cream cheese, but I've never tried that. Basically I use anything healthy for them, I cut up leftover fruits or veggies (no grapes or raisins!) or meat, whatever's around. Mix that up with p-nut butter, yogurt, canned pumpkin, again, whatever is around. Freezing it seems to make it last longer, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diane allen Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Anything you can fit into it, that your pup likes! I've used peanut butter, cream cheese, braunschweiger (liverwurst), all interspersed with tiny piece of kibble. Â Frozen is REALLY good when they're teething too! Â Kong actually makes a puppy kong - which I like because it's a bit softer, and a bit smaller. Even for adult dogs, I figure a couple tablespoons of stuffing is enough at any one time. Â Yum!

martySQ Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 I had some home made potato wedgies as the kids called them (cottage type fries-no salt, Mrs. Dash on them) that I had frozen in a zip lock. I pulled those out and put one in a kong...took Bess awhile to get that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BorderlineCollieaholic Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 I fill my 16 week old puppy's kong half-way with kibble, then squirt some Kong Puppy Stuff'N, the kind that comes in the whipped-cream type can. Then I fill the rest with kibble. It really makes Bandit work at it, because he can smell the Stuff'N underneath the kibble that isn't as appetizing. Instead of Kong Stuff'N you could use any paste textered food that your puppy loves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BustopherJones Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Mix the pup's regular kibble with low-sodium chicken or beef broth mixed with water, fill the Kong, and freeze it. This ensures that the pup's system will already be adapted to the treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
