What We Need:
* Grated carrot
* Grated cheese or cottage cheese
* A few finger-sized cut out carrot piece
How to Prepare it:
* Bind the two and make a ball out of them.
* Insert one finger-sized cut out carrot to each popsicle.
* Put them in the fridge to cool for about 10 minutes and voila!!
Points to Note:
* Make sure you use more carrot in proportion as compared to the cheese as we want to feed them cheese in moderation.
* The size can be from small, medium to one big popsicle.
* Feed in moderation, just as a mini snack on special occasions.
* Keep in mind your dog’s age, breed, allergies before offering new treats.
PUMPKIN AND CHICKEN POPSICLES :
This is best given in an ice cube form
What you need:
* Pureed pumpkin (1 cup)
* Chicken broth with a few shreds of chicken. (2 cups)
* Clear out an ice cube tray
How to Prepare it:
* Mix the pumpkin puree and the chicken broth in a bowl
* Stir well
* Add the portion to the ice tray
* Freeze it
Once it’s ready, pamper them with a flavoured ice cube occasionally or as a quick snack to keep them busy.
Points to Note:
* Give the frozen popsicles in moderation. Twice a week in the monsoon is more than enough.
* Give them frequently on hot sunny days.
* Keep in mind your dog’s age, breed, allergies before offering new treats.
* Do not feed them frozen ice cubes everyday.
