I keep my dog's 6 Kongs always filled with this combo in my freezer for a healthy treat that keeps my dog very happy!
My dog especially loves the Binkie style Kongs because he can hold it by the handle while getting the treat out of the Kong:-)

I'm gonna try this for my girls. They love pumpkin but I've never fed them banana before.

Wow! This is a great idea with the banana and
Pumpkin can’t wait to try. I already make him kibble, Cheerios and treats then I melt peanut butter and pour in as I am filling the Kong’s he loves them. ❤️?

This is such a great idea! So much better than that expensive spray cheese type stuff that it usually goes with!
