| banana, pb, frozen blueberries cut in half, apple (small bites, skin removed), all natural apple sauce, green beans, peas, bits of plain cooked chicken, kibble, cooked carrot, pumpkin...I usually just choose about three of the above depending on what I have on hand, and I often freeze them so they last her longer In general too, little pieces of frozen banana are Maggies very favorite treat! I use them for a reward after potty.

| I've done yogurt, pumpkin, canned food, and chicken baby food. What they love and have been getting for the last year or 2 is Honest Kitchen (or Sojos, Grandma Lucy's) and I freeze it. |

The frozen bananas is such a good idea!! I just recently bought Chloe a kong but she doesn't seem to like it that much, she won't even bite it to try and get her treats out. I put bananas in it but she got bored, I'm going to try freezing them with peanut butter.. I'm sure she'll like the kong more that way lol.

| Blueberries are fine to give. 3 is fine to put in the Kong, when I first tried blueberries I gave her 1 to make sure she was okay with it and then I let her have more the next time I gave it.

| Yup! Blueberries are fine, its GRAPES (and rasins) that are not okay. I just do about three because I feel like anything in excess can upset her tummy, and I usually put something else in the kong with the berries...the natural unsweetened apple sauce is a great item to fill in the cracks if you are freezing. I always freeze...Maggie can finish off a kong in 2 minutes otherwise! lol
