A great treat is to take Sara's kibble or wet food, get it wet and mixed into a slurry, and then freeze it into the Kong. This can help give her a longer-lasting treat to play with that doesn't cut into her meals with added calories! If she isn't as interested, hiding a treat or two within the frozen food can make it more enticing without being too much extra.
