Besides all the rain we've been getting, it had been hot....well....not Florida hot....but unusally warm for our comfortable mountains. Normally, if we turn our A/C on more than twice a year....it's a record!
Those prepared frozen goodies are $$ and calorie filled....even our rescue dog needs to watch her weight. So I set about making our own. There are lots of recipes available online but after previewing many, I chose two ingredients...low fat peanut butter and no fat, no sodium chicken stock.
Sooty LOVES her treats!

I'll try these. Happy dogs in the summer heat. I made peanut butter bones- fill a hard, hollow bone that won't splinter with peanut butter and freeze them. They lick and lick all the yummy peanut butter on a hot day. Our dog trainer from years back also suggested the squeeze cheese that comes in a can- don't even know if this is made anymore, but it reminded me of plastic, so I stuck with peanut butter (no pun intended).
Nancy's suggestion is a great one..... Another treat we give our dog is to fill a kong (dog toy) with peanut butter, freeze it, and when we give it to her....she's busy for an hour our more! It's messy....so I only allow that as an outside treat!
Lucky dog...poor Kalee can't have peanut butter...she has to stick with cooked chicken or baked chicken treats...boring but she's happy...what you don't have, you don't miss....lucky dog you have there, Mary!
had no idea dogs likes peanut butter. The hot weather is no good for their paws here they say if we cannot stand on the pavement in bare feet because it is so hot the dogs should not be taken out as it is too hot for them too. Not that I have a dog silly but |I am frightened of dogs.
