More Pup-sicle Recipes: Icy Cool Treats for Your Best Friend

When the heat of the summer becomes overly oppressive for you, you can only imagine how much more so it is for your dog or puppy who does not have the same means of sweating and cooling off that you do. If you are looking for ways to ensure that your best friend stays cool and happy this summer, you shouldn’t miss out on one of the most fun: doggie ice cream! If you’ve never tried your hand at whipping up homemade “ice cream” for your puppy or treated him to doggie-safe chilled treats, you’re both in for some fun!
To get you started, here are a couple of my favorites. All you need is an ice cream maker and some common ingredients. Using an ice cream maker, you should have ice cream ready for your dog in less than 10 minutes! And, if you opt for freezing solid and making popsicles (pup-sicles!), a great idea is to pour the mixture into Kongs and then freeze for even more fun.
*While it is important not to allow your dog to have too much lactose, the lactose content in yogurt is much lower than that in milk. Yogurt also offers friendly bacteria and probiotics that are good for your dog. If your dog is sensitive to any amount of lactose, than simply substitute dairy milk and dairy yogurt for soy or rice varieties. Also, always use plain yogurt, not flavored.
