Watermelon is a perfect hydrating snack on a hot day. It’s full of vitamins A, B6, and C, and it’s low in calories. Just make sure you remove the seeds and rind first, as they can be a choking hazard or cause tummy troubles. Cube it, chill it, or blend and freeze it in an ice tray for a DIY pup-sicle. Carrots are the unsung heroes of the veggie world, they’re naturally sweet, low in calories, and dogs adore their satisfying crunch. Pop a few into the fridge for a cold treat or chop them into bite-sized chunks for training rewards. Brilliant Blueberries are bursting with antioxidants and vitamin C, and dogs love them too, whether you’re popping them in a bowl or freezing them into a treat, they’re a healthy option that feels like a luxury. Cucumbers are the ultimate summer snack: crisp, refreshing, and packed with water, slice them up and serve as-is, or pop them in the fridge for an extra-cool crunch. Bananas are basically nature’s dessert, and dogs are big fans, slice them up and pop them in the freezer for a quick frozen snack, or mash with a spoonful of plain yoghurt and freeze in a mould for a lickable delight.

Dog-friendly treats are a fun way for you to reward your dog and even keep them cool in the summer heat. Banana-Nut Frozen Treats are one option, made by blending peanut butter, plain or vanilla yoghurt, and banana, then freezing the mixture. Alternatively, you can try Diary Free Berry Delight, made with coconut milk and fruit such as blueberries, strawberries, apple, banana, mango, pineapple, or watermelon. For each flavour, it will be 1 cup of coconut milk to 1 cup of fruit, which is then frozen until solid. Simply freezing coconut milk is also a great treat for dogs on a diet, as it is low in sugar. Please remember that treats like these should form part of your dog’s overall daily food intake – keeping your dog at a healthy weight is crucial for their well-being.

Slow feeding toys are a great way to keep dogs entertained and if you pop them in the freezer, they’re ideal for helping your dog keep cool too. All you need to make our slow summertime smoothie is a fillable chew or slow feeder and just two ingredients. These are dog-friendly and full of antioxidants, vitamins and fibre. We used an oat yogurt but there are lots of varieties that are safe for your four-legged friend. How about a fruit cock-er-tail, a fruit cocktail with a spaniel twist, this fido-friendly snack is an easy picnic treat for your pup. A classic combination of two of our dogs’ favourite treats is banana and peanut pup pops. Ingredients for these treats include mixed berries, natural yogurt, pineapple, melon, berries, peanut butter, bananas, and coconut oil. Just like humans, dogs need a healthy balanced diet so treats should be enjoyed in moderation. When you make them, reduce your dog’s usual food portion so they’re not overfed.
