Description

DIY healthy frozen watermelon dog treats (AKA dog popsicles or pupsicles) are refreshing cold treats for dogs in the summer! Your pup will love these hydrating, frozen dog treats to cool off in the heat. Made with just a handful of nutritious ingredients including watermelon and strawberries, these pupsicles take just five minutes to prepare. Pop them in the freezer for a few hours and they’re ready for your dog to enjoy!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups watermelon cubes, seeds removed
  • 1 cup frozen strawberries
  • 1/2 cup oats
  • 1 1/2 cup cold water


Instructions

  1. Add the ingredients to a blender in the order listed.
  2. Blend on high for about 1 minute, or until the mixture is completely smooth and liquidy.
  3. Pour the liquid into popsicle molds, filling them up about 85% full.
  4. Sprinkle in 5 Wellness Bowl Boosters® Tender Toppers into each popsicle.
  5. Freeze the popsicles in your freezer for at least 3 hours, or until they are frozen solid.
  6. Remove from the molds and serve to your dog, supervised!

Notes

What can I use if I don’t have popsicle molds?

If you don’t have popsicle molds, you can make these in plastic or paper cups, or make smaller dog treats in a reusable ice cube tray.

Coby is a gentle eater, so I used regular wooden popsicle sticks. If your dog is a big chomper, consider using a stick-shaped treat instead of a popsicle stick, like a carrots, celery stalks, or bully sticks.

Storage

This recipe makes 8-10 large dog popsicles. You can store them right in the molds in your freezer, or remove them and put them in a baggie or airtight container.

These treats should last in your freezer for up to three months. Make a batch now to last you through the summer!
