Guest avadogner Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Hi GT friends, I stuff Kongs with a mix of kibble and mini dog treats and seal them with a dab of peanut butter. Ava loves PB but Augie isn't as much of fan. I was thinking cream cheese or Laughing cow soft swiss cheese might make a good plug to keep him busy longer. He loves cheese (we give meds wrapped in a half slice of cheese). I just want to check and see if anyone has used it and if it's Ok. Thanks!

GreytNut Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Cream cheese is fine. I use it for hiding pills!

Guest Houndstown Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 (edited) Ours have never had a problem with it . . . and thanks for the idea. We use peanut butter in our kongs too, but cream cheese would be a nice switch up! Edited April 10, 2011 by Houndstown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyTzu Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 It's fine. The cheap stuff too. They don't know the difference. :lol Quote Wendy and The Whole Wherd. American by birth, Southern by choice.

Guest Ola Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Yup, we've used cream cheese too. Another favourite around here is liverwurst (the stuff that comes in the tube and you can find in the deli section). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeofNE Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 What actually lasts a lot longer is skipping the kibble, etc., and just smearing peanut butter all around the insides of the Kong. Takes a couple of seconds to "unplug" a Kong and dump the contents. Takes a good 15 minutes or so to lick out the peanut butter if applied correctly! I prepare mine the night before and put it in the fridge (peanut butter, when frozen, is MUCH easier to get out than when it's still creamy). Once in a while I toss a small biscuit down inside, and it sticks to the peanut butter and provides a nice surprise. Quote Susan, Hamish, Mister Bigglesworth and Nikita Stanislav.

Guest avadogner Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Thanks everyone! i thought it would be OK but just wanted to check. Ava loves peanut butter and Augie is reluctant to eat Kongs stuffed with PB since she is alpha. They get along fine but Ava is a bit grouchy in her old age and poor health. Sweet Augie just defers everything to her and since the PB is Ava's favorite he doesn't go for it like he initially did. I thought about stuffing his Kong with chopped up meat and cream cheese mix. He had it for the first time today and was so very happy. Ava didn't like it so much so it works out perfect. I'm trying to build some confidence in my boy so having something good she isn't interested in taking from him helps. Thanks again, ava and augie's mum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobesmom Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 (edited) A little cream cheese is fine! I agree with others - buy the cheap brand - and the low-fat or non-fat if they have it. I'd also suggest FREEZING the Kongs. Just stuff them at night and toss them in the freezer - the dogs love them just as much - and it takes a LOT longer to get all the yummieness out. A big boredom-buster! Have you tried plain yogurt yet? Your non- PB dog might LOVE plain yogurt in the Kong - DEFINATELY frozen, cuz it's gooey!
