The time has come for me to share my favourite summer doggy treats with you. I’m talking delicious, homemade dog ice cream popsicles, yummy cooling treats and healthy yoghurt dog treats.
When it comes to dog treat we like to keep it as natural and healthy as possible. Making homemade dog treats is a fun way to bond with your dog, and it’s also a great way to make sure you know exactly what ingredients go into your dog treats.
We all want the very best for our dogs, but sadly not all dog products are very good for our beloved pooches. So, I’ve come up with a tried and true list of my favourite summer dog treats…these treats won’t just spoil your pooch, they will help them keep cool in the summer and they’re healthy too.
So let’s get to it.
Easy watermelon cooling treats
1/2 cup watermelon chunks, pips removed
1/2 cup coconut milk
Pour the watermelon chunks and the coconut milk into a blender and blend until combined. Pour the mixture into ice cube trays and freeze for 3-4 hours.
