This Summer is all about the icy and refreshing slushy. Why shouldn’t your dog get in on it, too?
For a simple treat you can both sip on, try this classic combo: frozen bananas + peanut butter + ice. Toss them in a blender for instant deliciousness. Or take a berry spin and blend up blueberries, yogurt, and a spoonful of honey.
How about a treat only a dog could love? Try blending pumpkin puree with wet dog food and ice. Sure, it’s less appetizing (for humans), but this slushy delicacy will win you major points with your furry friend. Or try this simple strategy:
- Start with any one of these tasty liquid bases:
Try low-sodium chicken broth, yogurt, no-sugar applesauce, or pumpkin puree.
- Mix in your dog’s favorite ingredients:
Blueberries, apples, bananas, carrots, sweet potatoes, or ground meat. Be sure to consult a list of dog-safe foods.
- Add ice and blend:
Toss your concoction into the blender with ample ice. Blend until slushy and serve in a fancy feeding bowl. Bon appétit!
Before you go all Julia Child in the kitchen, talk to your vet about any food sensitivities your dog may have.
