It’s time to make my tricky pumpkin Kongs for your favorite pup for Halloween. Every dog deserves something special for Halloween, why not a tasty Kong? I bet they will even enjoy working on one Halloween night when all the spooky stuff goes on outside. It is a very good distraction for a dog. My Kongs are made of three simple ingredients, it can’t get much easier!
I’m ready to start mixing my ingredients together. My recipe calls for non fat Greek yogurt, plain pumpkin, NOT pie filling and something as a tricky surprise. We were given this bag of Tricky Trainers, so I thought I would mix them in as a surprise.
For Kongs, I don’t measure my ingredients. The amounts can be whatever you would like and will depend on the size and number of Kongs you plan on making. I’m making four Kongs, and guessing I have enough filling. Put all three ingredients in your mixing bowl and mix them up well.
When everything is mixed well, be sure and do a taste test. It would be terrible if they didn’t taste good and you served them to your dog! Mine taste Grand and these little tricky trainer pieces add a nice, crunchy surprise.
My first pumpkin Kong is now stuffed. Do not worry if there is a bit of a mess at the opening. It will freeze and your pup will clean it all off when she gets her Kong.
After filling each Kong, I wrap them in plastic wrap to keep the filling from spilling out, and then they are also ready to pop into the freezer.
Now all that is left to do is to wait until Halloween when we will each get to enjoy one of our own tricky pumpkin Kongs. To be honest, I had some extra filling so I made a small one for Nelson which he ate and just loved! Grab my recipe here, make some Kongs, and watch your dog enjoy! Happy Howloween Week!

You are the bestest cook, Bailie, and thank you for the recipe! Mom says next time she heads to the store, she’s going to get a can of pumpkin and some small treats. We always have the yogurt!
They are great snacks when you need something that lasts for a while and they help with digestion with the pumpkin.
Ohhhhh! Frozen treats! 😋 yummy! XOXO Sparkle
They are very good and we all enjoy pumpkin too.
we are sure there is no mess and everything is cleaned within seconds… thanks for a super idea!
No mess here, we all enjoy cleaning up!
Your mom is so wonderful. She sure makes sure you have the very best of everything. Tell her I think she’s the best mom ever.
Thank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Awww Monday and week. Scritches all around and my best to your mom. ♥
We think she is pretty special too. I think we might be spoiled but she says life is short, so why not be spoiled and enjoy it.
Would you please make a 5th Pumpkin Kong. I’m on my way!!!
I love any and all things pumpkin

We can do that. I think we have six of this size and some smaller ones too.
That is a great recipe! Levi has some KONGS but not ones that I could use to put this in. Will have to buy him a new one!
Super simple and very yummy!
Sounds good; but I’m afraid all that pumpkin and dairy (yogurt) might send Zen’s tummy into overload. I used to make mini frozen treats for Ducky and Shadow using yogurt and mashed blueberries. I doled them out at rate of about one each every few days. What I might do is see if I can find some goat’s milk yogurt and use it.
We have pretty tough tummies around here but we don’t get these kind of treats very often either.
wow! What healthy snacks! Have a great week!
Mom likes us to eat healthy and we are fine with that too.
What a great doggie you are and so creative like your Mom ~ fun ~ Xo
Wishing you good health, laughter and love in your days,

I love making things to eat because I get to eat my work!
You don’t need help in the kitchen
Nope. I have it all under control.
We LOVE your hat Bailie!!
Unfortunately, for some weird reason, none of us are into Kongs anymore. Mama made this recipe(switching out for another training treat) for Sunny to have while recuperating and she turned her muzzle up at it, Then she tried to pawn them off on me and Jakey but we didn’t want them either…

We only have them once and a while and then we enjoy them. Nelson gets them the most because he sometimes has to be stuck in his crate for a while.
That sounds very doable and delicious!!! Mom has all that stuff. I’ll tell her!

It doesn’t get any easier than this recipe. No cooking, just mix, stuff, freeze.
Those would be a treat any time of year!
They are not limited to Halloween season, but they are definitely good in the fall with the flavors.
You did such an incredible job preparing that fancy yum, bravo!
Thank you. I love easy recipes.
That looks yummy!
They are tasty as we all love pumpkin and the hidden treats are a nice crunchy surprise.
Yum, Norman and Elsa licked their chops just thinking about these tasty treats. Thanks for the recipe!
Tasty, and simple, the best combination.
