Savory & Sweet Kong recipe!

We’d go crazy without our Kong’s, especially during a heatwave when our dogs can’t play outside as much during the day; These frozen treats keep our pups cool and occupied when they have to stay inside!

We like make new recipes multiple times a week to keep them fun and exciting, while adding different health benefits with our ingredients! The fact that these have all healthy ingredients, mean that they can have them multiple times a day if we wanted, and they wouldn’t cause issues.

Keep in mind that our dogs are very used to new treats, for dogs that aren’t, they should be introduced to new treats slower and use a moderate amount of filling.

Ingredients

  • 1, 13 oz can of wet food (You can use whatever brand your dog is used to or you’d like to try)
  • 3/4 cup of apple sauce
  • 3/4 cup of pure canned pumpkin
  • 1/2 cup of coconut oil, softened
  • 1/2 cup of natural peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup of raw honey

Mix all the ingredients together and fill into Kong’s or any interactive toys you have. We freeze overnight and they’re ready to go for the next morning!

We love Kong’s because they’re the tough, easy to fill and use, and the one pictured above has lasted us years!

Banana Kong Recipe

We use frozen Kong’s a lot in our household, it’s a perfect way to keep your pup busy in their crate while you’re gone, entertain them while you’re working from home or even to cool them down on a hot day! We’ll most likely start sharing new Kong recipes weekly as we test them out! Your dog will LOVE this one if they love peanut butter and bananas!

You’ll need:

  • Natural peanut butter
  • Coconut oil
  • Ripe bananas
  • A bowl
  • A fork to mash and stir together
  • A butter knife (we find this is one of the easiest ways to fill the Kong)
  • A Kong of appropriate size for your dog

We took 2 bananas and mashed them up, then added 1/2 cup of natural peanut butter and 1/2 cup of softened coconut oil. Mix it all together and now you have a delicious treat for your dog! This will fill quite a few Kong’s dependent on the size of your dog, we have a variety of large, medium and small Kong’s for our pack. Once filled we place in the freezer for a couple hours or until we are ready to feed!

It’s important to note that our dogs eat different food and treats daily so their stomachs are strong and used to every treat. If your dog is used to only eating their kibble you should introduce new treats slowly and in moderation to avoid an upset tummy!

Nacho testing the new recipe for us, I think he liked it!
