Pooch pops for the Summer sun!

Mixing up ingredients and pouring them into an ice cube tray is a super-easy way to make perfectly portioned frozen treats for your dog.

Below are 5 frozen dog treat combos to try this summer:

• Banana & Yoghurt – Mash a ripe banana and mix it with plain, unsweetened yoghurt. This combo is creamy, rich in potassium and great for digestion.
• Watermelon Cubes – Blend seedless watermelon into a puree and pour into trays. It’s hydrating and packed with vitamins. Just remember to remove any seeds and rind.
• Chicken Stock Cubes – Pour low-sodium, dog-safe chicken stock into trays for a tasty meat treat. You can even drop in a few small pieces of cooked chicken for extra excitement.
• Blueberries & Yoghurt – Mix fresh or frozen blueberries with plain yoghurt for an antioxidant-rich snack. These are great for your dog’s immune system as well as their taste buds.
• Strawberry & Peanut Butter Swirls – Blend strawberries with water and pour into trays. Top each one with a small spoonful of dog-friendly peanut butter for a sweet, nutty and totally irresistible treat.

Another fun and enriching way to treat your dog is with a frozen Kong. While mini frozen bites are great for quick snacks, a frozen Kong offers a longer-lasting option that’s both mentally stimulating and refreshing. Ideal for warm weather days.

You can use any of the tasty, dog-safe ingredients mentioned above, like banana and yoghurt, blueberries, or even chicken stock, to fill the Kong. Layer different textures and flavours for variety, or blend ingredients together into a smoothie-like mix before stuffing. Once filled, simply pop it into the freezer for a few hours or overnight.

• Longer-lasting entertainment: A frozen Kong takes more time for your dog to lick and chew, helping to keep them occupied and mentally engaged.
• Soothing and cooling: This cold treat is especially soothing for teething puppies or hairier dogs that need a little help staying cool on hot days.
• Customisable: You can tailor the filling to suit your dog’s taste or dietary needs. Just use healthy, natural ingredients.

While Kongs can certainly be enjoyed fresh and unfrozen, freezing them makes the fun last longer.
