That stuff is expensive.  I'd hate to put regular peanut butter in there...but cheeze whiz might work.  :)

I use peanut butter, cheeze whiz, and can dog food.  I add dry dog food and just top it off with the good stuff.  Can cheese soup works if you freeze it.

We've used Peanut Butter, Dog food, and you can buy Kong filler at any pet store.  It comes in different flavors.

I tried peanut butter and when I tossed it, it all just came out on the floor, splat.  Bava liked that trick though.

I bet he wanted you to do that trick again.  How is the new boy doing?

I use Peanut Butter, and I get a couple of different treats and break them up and throw them in there. :)

we have a large size kong (not the huge giant one) and regular old milk bones fit perfectly in there.  If you get the small to medium sized milkbones the 2 of them fit in the kong.  Sophie will work on the kong for a good long time trying to get them out.  Its great for keeping her occupied.     

Oh and peanut butter is good too  :)

He frustrates us to no end :) But the two boys love each other to death so I think we're stuck with the stinker now.

I use peanut butter and break up treats with it then I freeze it. This way it takes longer for Kiah to lick it out or it would be gone within five minutes. I fill the kong up before bed and freeze it over night. That way when I'm gone in the mornings she has some entertainment.
