Cool Summer Treat Ideas Your Dog Will Love

There is no better way to train your dog than by providing some delicious treats right after they achieve a command. This not only helps instill positive reinforcement but lets them know just how much they are loved! At Dog Days, we provide dog board and train services in Longmont and have come to learn some amazing tips on how to give the best life to your furry friend. Make your dog happy with tasty treats this summer as you implement some of the training we can instill in them. Contact us today for more information! 

Frozen Fruits and Vegetables

Unless you have a picky eater, most dogs love some fruits and veggies. Take this treat one step further by freezing it before serving, as this can provide your furry friend with a refreshing treat to cool them down during the summer heat. Best of all, your pup can enjoy the treat for longer as they will lick it clean as it softens!
Doggy Favorites Include: Banana, Strawberries, Peaches, Carrots, Green Beans, and more

Icy Broth Treats

Is your dog more into savory foods? If so, giving them delicious icy broth treats is sure to make their day. Simply take some chicken, beef, vegetable, or bone broth and freeze it within an ice tray. You can also try layering multiple broths within each cube, making the treats extra special for your furry friend! 

Yogurt and Fruit 

Your dog is sure to love this one! Yogurt is not only good for your pet’s digestive system, but it is also an ingredient most dogs enjoy. Dice or puree some fruit — while removing the rind, seeds, or other hazards — and mix it with some plain yogurt and freeze. Try this with cantaloupe, watermelon, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, pineapple, and apple, as these are the fruits dogs seem to enjoy most! 

Baby Food Popsicles 

Don’t feel like making a mess over some treats? Pick up some baby food of any flavor, whether savory or sweet and freeze it overnight. You should be left with a delicious and simple treat your dog is sure to enjoy! 

We hope you can make your dog’s summer extra special with these delicious treats. These recipes are not only good for your furry friend, but they can also help them beat the Longmont summer heat.
