Why let humans have all the frozen fun this season? 🍦❄️
In the midst of scorching summer days, savoring a frozen delight is pure bliss—but why limit the joy to us humans? Dive into the world of fantastic frozen treats designed exclusively for our canine companions. These recipes are not only a breeze to whip up but are also cherished by dogs with a sweet tooth.
It’s important to note that all these recipes use dog-safe ingredients. However, to maintain a balanced diet for your furry friend, Jenna Stregowski, RVT and Daily Paws’ pet health and behavior editor, recommends restricting treats to no more than 10 percent of their daily dietary intake. Exceeding this limit could disrupt their nutritional balance and contribute to obesity.
Explore below for some original frozen dog treat recipes from Daily Paws (plus a store-bought option) to pamper your four-legged friend this season—or any time of the year. Who says ice cream and popsicles are reserved for summertime? And if you sneak a taste for yourself, well, we won’t spill the secret
