It is hot out there and I make an ice treat for my dogs that they really love, and it is simple. Take a large plastic container. I buy butter from Costco so I use an old one of those for my mold. I take my dogs favorite things like carrots, dog biscuits, tennis balls and other toys and layer them in the container. I will put a layer of carrots and then a layer of ice cubes, then a layer of biscuits and then a layer of ice cubes and so forth until I get to the top. The layers of ice cubes between the layers helps hold everything in the layers. Fill with water and freeze over night. In the afternoon when it is hot we will all go outside so they can have a lick of the Pup-cicle. As they lick and the Pup-cicle melts they have a nice cool treat. It is fun and easy and your dog will love it!

I also make a yogurt treat too! Take a large tub of plain yogurt, a cup of peanut butter and a 1/4 cup of honey. Mix well and fill into ice cube trays. Freeze and now you have little one ounce frozen yogurts for your dog!
