| Pupcicles for these hot days. :) Just found this on the internet and I know some of you guys are having scorching heat. Sounds good to even give my kids.lol Keeping cool with summer snacks by Sarah Ostman | July 5, 2012 http://woof.doggyloot.com/wordpress/...ll-300x200.jpgYou get to cool off during the dog days of summer with ice cream, but does your pup? You’ve probably seen Frosty Paws at the grocery store– they’re a great way to let your dog enjoy hot summer days. This do-it-yourself version lets you mix-and-match ingredients to treat your dog to what he loves best. The basic recipe: 32 oz. plain yogurt 1 mashed ripe banana 2 tablespoons peanut butter 2 tablespoons honey Mix all of the ingredients in a blender and put in ice cube trays to freeze. Microwave for a few seconds before serving. Super-simple, right? Here’s where you get to mix and match: Yogurt: Use fruit-flavored yogurt instead of plain. Vanilla, banana, and strawberry are usually a hit. Steer clear of any chocolate! Peanut Butter: Chunky or smooth, regular or non-fat. It’s all up to you; choose based on your dog’s needs! Little dogs might want to watch out for big nut chunks, while a dog with a little extra weight should probably be served the non-fat variety. Banana: You can substitute one large jar (5 oz.) of baby food for the banana. Have fun experimenting with flavors—meat flavors can be hard to find, but worth it! Ice Cubes: Yep, you can even mix it up here. Paper cups, popsicle molds, and fun ice-cube molds (like hearts or bones) all work. You could even stick one inside a Kong toy if you want to keep your furry friend busy! If you’re looking for a more sustainable holder for your frozen treat, a small container with a lid is nice, and can be popped back in the freezer if your pup gets interrupted. Extras: Get creative! Add some mango or pineapple for a little tropical flair, or blueberries for anti-oxidant power. Let us know in the comments what worked best for your dog. Happy Summer!

| Sounds delicious, but I'm not sure any of these wonderful treats would make it past me to my boys.

| Sounds great I bought that Frosty Paws ONCE. My girls both stuck their noses up at it, and I don't blame them. We were outside in 90 degree weather, and you know what? That stuff DID NOT MELT. Ew!

| Sounds great. I would not use a yogurt with sugar in it though. Honey should make it sweet enough. Maybe some more of their favorite fruit could be added. I have all natural peanut butter for Gracie. She is watching her weight as it is. Sure is more enjoyable for them than plain ice cubes! |
