| Per the suggestion of some other members on the forum, I mixed some pumpkin pie filling with plain yogurt, filled the kong with that mixture, capped the ends with a little peanut butter, and threw it in the freezer for a little while. It has worked like a charm with Ghost and will keep her occupied for an hour or so. Good luck! _________________  |

| I also freeze plain yogurt, plain canned pumpkin and peanut butter (or any combination of the 3!) and, here's the best part that I have been dying to share with you all,...
USE A GRAPEFRUIT SPOON TO EASILY STUFF IT IN THE END!! A grapefruit spoon is almost trowel shaped and the pointy end gets the stuffing right in there!! I love it!! |

| Plain yogurt... no sugar, no flavors.
Also plain pumkin... no sugar, no spices.
Also the plainest peanut butter available (sometimes harder to find)... low sugar, low sodium (salt), natural (if available). |

| I just use peanut butter and I don't freeze it, but I think I'll try one with frozen pumpkin. Good idea.
Freeze it until it is hard. It will slowly melt giving the dog hours of fun. |

| I've nuked peanut butter then blended it with plain yogurt. Stuff and freeze. Stormy loves it. Just a tiny bit of peanut butter will flavor it. |

| Yogurt is a digestive aid and typically settles with with their stomachs. If you gave peanut butter, that's a likely culprit. |

| Yogurt (any kind) gives Kale the runs. I just avoid it. I freeze pumpkin and put a few homemade treats in his Kong, especially during the holidays |

| If Loona isn't used to yogurt, natural peanut butter, or pumpkin, it can cause diarreha if you fill her kong full and she ate it all. Pumpkin, in larger quantities, will cause diarreha even though smaller quantities will help firm up stool.
I use a butter knife to fill my kongs. |

| I break up treats to smaller kibble size bits ( she loves sweet treats, obviously sugar free!) and mix them up with peanut butter, pumpkin and sugar free doggy ice cream. It's her favorite treat (we make homemade ice cream for her)

| I gave Winter his first frozen Kong about an hour ago. Ahhh, what bliss for both of us. He's been a very active and determined counter surfer today, and I have a migraine. Oy. Anyway, I filled the Kong with greek yogurt and kibble. He's totally and completely loving it. I'm filing away the ways you all fill your Kongs for future reference! |
