We use plain (or add our fruit) low fat or fat free yogurt. I don't think it's good for them to get additives or the sugar that is in many brands on a regular basis.

I think I would avoid using peanut butter because of the high fat content which can lead to pancreatitis which can be fatal.

My vet said that during the summer to freeze water in it and put peanutbutter on the ends to hold the water till it freezes. Chewie loved licking the ice in it. ALso any kind of meat snack, like Dick Van Patten's natural balance pet foods. Just stick it in and press it hard together, so they have to work at getting it out. Kongs come in different sizes and thickness, according to your pups size and age. My dogs love them and they do keep them busy for a while.

Yes, the trainer did mention NOT to use fatty foods. She said a good thing to put in the end is baked yams (mashed up), then freeze it. I wasn't aware that high fat leads to pancreatitis...

I use peanut butter in my pups kong toys only difference is I don't freeze it. I like watching him try to get it out with his little toungue.
