DIY Cool dog treats! 

3/12/2015

0 Comments

 
As the weather starts to warm up a great way to keep our pooches cool and entertained is to create our own freezy treats for them! You can custom make these to suit your dog's taste buds and can make them easily at home with your regular bake ware!

What Can You Freeze for Your Dog?
  • Vegetables & Fruit - Yep, plain ol' veggies like green beans, squash and sweet potato are fun to freeze and give as a cold treat. Just as fun are icy cool bananas, strawberries and apples.

  • Chicken & Beef Broth - This should be a staple in your doggie pantry. It makes for great homemade dog treats, like the chicken broth biscuit recipe, but it is also a base ingredient for many chilly dog treats. Broth that is low in sodium is preferable to use for all of your dog treat recipes.

  • Fruit Juices - You can use fruit juices for cold treats on a hot day. Ideally juice your fruit yourself to avoid excess sugar consumption or use juices that are lower in sugar. For example, look for juices that list "no added sugar".

  • Yogurts - Another base ingredient, is plain low fat yogurt. You'll find many ways to mix this into your frozen dog treats.

  • Baby Foods - These make a nice addition to a cool snack. Use organic fruit or vegetable blends for added flavor.

Combine your dogs favorite treats, meats or fruits and vegetables with a tasty water solution and simply freeze!


Tips & Techniques

  • Ice Cube Trays - When using ice cube trays to freeze treats for your dog, you may want to buy a set just for him. You can make them a different color or style than the trays your family uses. There's nothing worse than putting a chicken broth ice cube in your glass of water!

  • Cupcake Liners - You can use paper liners instead of ice cube trays to freeze treats. Once frozen, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes. Then simply tear away the paper liner and watch your dog enjoy their treat.

  • Ice cream containers - empty and cleaned ice cream containers are the perfect size for large breed dogs! Again, once frozen allow the treat to sit at room temperature for a few minutes and you will find it will slide away from the plastic very easily.
