Tips for Making Frozen Watermelon Blueberry Dog Treats

When using silicone molds, place the silicone mold on a baking sheet before filling. This will make it easier to get it to the freezer.

If you don’t have silicone molds, a regular ice cube tray works great as well.

Choose the size of homemade dog treats based on the size of your dog. Make smaller treats for smaller dogs and larger treats for big dogs.

If you don’t have different sized molds, you can adjust the size of frozen treats by not filling the mold you have as full.

Always consult with your veterinarian before introducing new foods into your dog’s diet. Also, be mindful of the portion sizes and frequency of treats given to your dog, as too much can lead to weight gain and other health issues.

Can Dogs Have Watermelon?

Yes! Watermelon is a safe and healthy snack for dogs, as long as it’s in moderation. It’s a great source of vitamins A, B6, and C, as well as potassium.

But be sure to remove all the seeds and the rind before feeding it to your dog, as they can be a choking hazard or cause a blockage.

Watermelon is also a low-calorie, high water content food, making it a great hydrating snack for dogs.

Can Dogs Have Blueberries?

Yes! Blueberries are a safe and healthy treat for dogs. Just remember to give them to your dog in moderation.

Blueberries are an excellent source of antioxidants and vitamins C and K. They’re also low in calories, making them a great treat for dogs.
