Frozen Watermelon Dog Treats: 2 Easy Recipes to Delight Your Dog!

Can Dogs Eat Watermelon?

Many dogs love plain watermelon slices. Be sure your dog doesn’t eat the seeds or the watermelon rind but otherwise feel free to share your summer slice with him!

Is watermelon good for dogs?

Packed with potassium and magnesium plus Vitamins A and C, watermelon is good for dogs! Watermelon also helps prevent dehydration because it is filled with fluid.

Even though watermelon is quite low calorie, it does still contain fruit sugars so it’s best to keep it as an occasional treat.

Watermelon Dog Treats

This easy recipe–sent to us by Tails.com–combines watermelon with your dog’s favorite treats! I used liver treats (our dog’s favorite) for our dogs’ popsicles, but you can add your dog’s own fave goodies. All you’ll need is an ice tray!

Frozen Watermelon Dog Treats

This no-cook recipe is an easy way to turn leftover watermelon into a favorite dog treat!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup watermelon
  • 3-4 small dog treats

Instructions

    1. Cut your deseeded watermelon into cubes. Do NOT use the watermelon rind.
    2. Use a food processor, hand blender or the end of a rolling
      pin to blend the melon until smooth. You could add a little bit of
      water at this point if you want to make your batch stretch a little
      further!
    3. Pour the mixture into your ice cube tray or mold.
    4. Break up the dog treats into smaller pieces and add to the mix.
    5. Pop into the freezer until done.

Serve as a refreshing dog treat on a hot summer’s day!

As with all treats, we recommend making sure they’re served as part of a balanced diet. (Treats should never make up more than 10 percent of your dog’s daily diet.)

Easy Watermelon Slushie for Dogs

Yesterday we were on the road all day, off to south Texas to assist two of John’s elderly relatives. Our three-hour drive took us through the town of Luling, one that’s known as the Watermelon Capital of Texas.

The farmers’ market, which operates downtown in this little oil town, had watermelons for sale–but all you have to do is look to the sky to see a real symbol of Luling: the town’s painted water tower, also known as the world’s largest watermelon.

And we’ve got an easy recipe from our The Healthy Hound Cookbook that’s a fun and easy way for you both to share watermelon, a low-calorie, tasty way to cool off in the dog days of summer.
