Frozen Watermelon Dog Treats Recipe
Ingredients
1 cup of watermelon
1 cup of Open Farm's Chicken Bone Broth
Step 1: Prepare 1 Cup of Watermelon
Watermelon isn't just a summertime favourite for humans; it's also a wonderful treat for your pets! Packed with vitamins, watermelon offers a refreshing way to hydrate your dog and/or cat. It's a win-win situation for both pet parents and your adorable pets!
Step 2: Prepare 1 cup of Open Farm's Chicken Bone Broth
Now, here comes the secret ingredient that will take these Pupsicles to the next level – 1 cup of Open Farm's Chicken Bone Broth. Not only does this flavourful addition enhance the taste, but it also offers incredible health benefits for your dog and/or cat. Specifically, this Chicken Bone Broth is nutritional and supports joint health and digestion.
*A quick note when selecting the right Chicken Bone Broth: Avoid options containing added salt or labelled as “low sodium.” You will want to provide your pets with the purest and healthiest ingredients, so double-check the labels before making your purchase. This small step ensures that your DIY Pupsicles remain as nutritious and beneficial as possible.
Step 3: Create the Perfect Blend
Creating these tasty treats is as simple as it gets. Using a blender – like the NutriBullet – combine the watermelon and Open Farm's Chicken Bone Broth. Mix the watermelon and chicken bone broth until it is smooth and well-combined.
Step 4: Pour the Mixture Into Cute Silicone Molds
Add the mixture into a measuring cup and pour it into a silicone mold. Feel free to use ice cube trays if you don't have access to silicone molds.
Step 5: The Final Reward
Now comes the hard part – waiting! Pop the silicone mold filled with the mixture into the freezer and allow it to set for anywhere between 3 hours to overnight. We know it can be tough to resist the anticipation of your pets enjoying these frozen watermelon dog treats, but good things come to those who wait. ;)
Once the treats are frozen solid, remove them from the freezer, and offer your pets a refreshing, healthy, and utterly delicious summer treat! The combination of watermelon's natural sweetness and the nutritional goodness of Open Farm's Chicken Bone Broth is sure to have their tails wagging in anticipation.
