When it's so cheap, they have cut one or more corners reducing safety for the dog and increasing their client base because clients like low prices. These things may include no IV fluids, injectable anesthesia only and no gas, cheaper gas anesthesia (less safe), no pain meds or antibiotics even if needed, nobody really monitoring the anesthesia properly, not using expensive equipment to make sure the animal is doing okay while under, no dental xray or the capability to do it which is a big no-no that happens all the time, etc.
Yes, if you want to give the Kong, then cut down the kibble. Make sure the majority of what is in the Kong is I/D because it is complete and balanced. Also make sure she is eating it as soon as you leave. If there is some left hours later and she is licking it, it could set her off because it would be like us leaving refrigerator-only food out for hours and eating it. No need for most of the treats you listed. It's just going to add calories.
It is not wrong to "deprive" her of treats. My health challenged girl gets her rx food only, the treats that are made to go with it, and the occasionally piece of non-starchy veggies bc I know they won't set her off. My boy gets his food and...pretty much nothing else except maybe some lettuce or the very occasional Cheerio. They do fine with it...
