Great question! There are lots of things that you can put inside a Kong toy for puppies to chew on. Personally, I like peanut butter for this purpose, or canned puppy food - you can also freeze the Kong after stuffing it, so that it takes longer for Ghontu to get the food out. You can also put her regular kibble inside, then put a bit of peanut butter over the opening to seal it in. The Kong company also has a number of suggestions on their website for things that can be put inside for dogs to eat - you can check out their recipes here: https://www.kongcompany.com/recipes/

Yes, puppies and dogs can have [peanut butter](https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/peanut-butter). Make sure it does not contain the artificial sweetener [xylitol](https://www.petcoach.co/article/6-products-that-contain-xylitol) which is toxic to dogs. Also, to prevent obesity, treats should make up no more than 10% of the total daily calories. I recommend freezing the peanut butter in the [treat-dispensing toy](https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/kong-wobbler-food-dispensing-dog-toy) overnight in the freezer, and that will occupy him for a long time. There are a number of ways to keep your puppy occupied with a treat-filled toy while you are away.

Kong toys with frozen peanut butter or other frozen treats can provide hours of entertainment without the added risk of breaking teeth on hard bones. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

A few general recommendations: stick with well known brands with a good reputation. Look for products made in the USA. Kibble works great for treats and I use Purina Pro Plan chicken or lamb and rice. Dry biscuit type treats usually have less calories and salt. The jerky or moist type treats are fine in moderation (they have more calories and salt usually). Lastly, many dogs really like dehydrated chicken livers and chicken jerky. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

It is ok to give her some but they contain a lot of calories so you should limit the amount that you give. You could also mix a small amount of peanut butter with her dry food and then stuff the contents into the Kong. You could also freeze the Kong so it takes more time for her to get the material out of the Kong.
