DIY Ice Dog Treats

This summer has brought heat breaking records around the world. I looked at Gizmo panting like crazy when we came in from our walk the other day. I gave him some ice cubes (nothing cools him off more) and it hit me. Why not doggify an ice cube tray for Gizmo for scorching hot days?

It will be a treat and refreshment all in one. I set out to find something doggy friendly. This recipe is EXTREMELY flexible. All you need is an ice cube tray and something to put in it. Gizmo loves chicken flavour which led to me picking chicken broth. Since Mr. T and I just had a crock pot chicken earlier in the week, I didn't have any fresh chicken broth. I decided to use some leftover chicken broth we had in the fridge.

**Dogs find both garlic and onion extremely toxic. Do not use anything with either of those ingredients.**


After you decide what you are going to use, place it in the ice cube tray and toss it in the freezer to freeze.

If you aren't sure what you want to use, here are some ideas: chicken broth, beef broth, vegetable stock or your pup's favourite puréed fruit!

Every freezer is different, so the freezing may take a few hours. Gizmo & I went out for our walk and he came home to a deliciously cool treat.

I even tried to snap a couple photos of him enjoying his treat but he ran off with the ice cube thinking he had received something he wasn't allowed to have.

I finally caught up with him in the living room with only a few bits left.

I would love to hear your ideas on how you keep your furry friends cool in this wicked heat!

Until next time! Happy crafting.
Much love,
Kay
