The Pawsome Power of Fruit & Coconut Oil for Dogs
Nutritional Benefits of Fruit:
Dietary fiber from fruits, when part of a healthy diet, helps reduce blood cholesterol levels and may lower the risk of heart disease. Fiber is also important for proper bowel function.
Nutritional Benefits of Coconut Oil:
Coconut oil boosts the level of antioxidants and collagen in the body. Both play an important role in the natural regeneration and repair process of our skin, making them a great addition to healthy, cool summer dog treats.
Ingredients for Healthy & Cool Summer Dog Treats
1. Fruit
Fruit such as strawberries, blueberries, bananas, apples, or pineapple. For more information about what fruits are safe (and not safe) for dogs check out this list by Pet Cube.
2. Water
Water and ice are essential for dogs, providing hydration and helping them regulate their body temperature, especially during hot weather.
3. Coconut Oil
A sneaky way to incorporate some essential nutrients into your dog’s diet. Moderation is key. A small amount of coconut oil can offer some potential benefits, but dogs shouldn’t consume large amounts of it.
4. Herbs (Optional)
Herbs such as parsley, oregano, rosemary, peppermint, basil, or dandelion all make for a tasty treat! For more information about what herbs are safe for dogs please refer to this list by Garden Uity.
How to Make These Refreshing Treats
Blend all your ingredients except for the coconut oil. Add warmed coconut oil and blend to the mixture. Pour the mixture into an ice cube tray or popsicle moulds. It is super convenient to store them in freezer bags after they have frozen. If eating these is an issue, they can be easily blended into a smoothie using water and a couple of cubes. These healthy cool summer dog treats can be stored for a long time in the freezer.
Too Much Work? No Blender?
If that seems like too much work, you can always just freeze the coconut oil separately (add to ice cube tray first or last) or use it as a topping! If you don’t have a blender you can always just add the above ingredients to your tray and fill it with water, sometimes it is more interesting for dogs.
