Doggy Ice Treats
Prep time. 5 mins - Total time 1-2 hours
1 serving
Ingredients
3 cups water
1 cup beef broth
1/2 cup doggy treats
1/4 cup peanut butter
(Make sure it is Xylitol free!)
Steps
Mix water and broth together to make a very
light broth that the dogs will love, or just use
water.
Find a sturdy four cup freezer-safe bowl or dish.
Add some treats in the bottom and fi ll it with
your broth/water mixture.
Let the mixture freeze for about 30 minutes. It
doesn’t need to be completely frozen solid at
this point.
Add a thin layer of peanut butter to the top of
the ice and return to the freezer for another 30
minutes.
Keep adding layers of treats and broth or water
until you get to four cups. You can put small toys
in the ice block along with any treats. Try not to
use cracker treats, as they will just get mushy.
Freeze the block solid for at least two hours.
To unlock the ice block
Let it thaw on your counter for 5-10 minutes.
It should pop right out of the container. You
can also run it under warm water to release the
block. DO NOT do this if you use a glass bowl,
as it could shatter from the sudden temperature
change.
Place the ice block in a large high-rimmed bowl
so the dog can reach it but it won’t melt all over
your fl oor.
If your dog is hesitant to lick it, put a dab of
peanut butter on the outside.
