Peanut butter kong

My pups are 15weeks, can I put peanut butter in their kongs? Or should I wait til they're older?

Hi Jess it should be ok mixed with other things.
Take care , some peanut butter is high in salt. I don't use it myself.

I don't use it either. High in salt and fat. I have read that it can cause Pancreatitis!! Please research as much as you can!

Hi you can get unsalted from healthfood stores,but my dogs dont like peanut butter,after reading that dogs treat peanut butter like cats treat catnip,but then again it is only some cats that react to catnip.I would stick to whatyou know for the time being,if you notice they like something add it to the kong,you can freeze the kong to make them work harder crystalgirl

We use it just as a special treat though as it is high in fat. Any fat can cause pancreatitis, so keep it down is best IMO.

Thanks for all the tips. They seem to be happy with what they've got at the moment so I'll stick to that. We try to mix things up a bit so they don't get bored. It's a good idea to freeze the kong! I recently read that freezing a tea towel can help with teething so tried it out and they loved it!

Hi its always fun,especially with pups,my 7 month old has terrible travel sicknessand one of the things that was advised was ginger nuts,offered it to her dry not interested,so dunked it, well you know when a cat smells something there mouth opens well thats what Faye did but it looked so funny,as her nose disappeared and it was just the whole top of her mouth with teeth showing.crystalgirl
