Easy CHILL

Here's an easy way to beat the heat and feed a treat!
Fill plastic container with beef or chicken broth, some crunchable treats and maybe a rawhide or other delectable chew.  (You can even use a stuffed Kong!) Freeze overnight. To extract the giant icee, just turn container upside-down and run a little water on it.  It'll pop right out.
Put it outside (It's really messy!) on a hot day and let your dogs enjoy!
Be sure to keep dogs apart while high value items are down or and/or supervise closely to prevent resource guarding/aggression between dogs.



It's better than watching TV, observing each dog's particular style of enjoyment!

Here are some relatively lo-cal options to try:
  • broth and green beans
  • a few TBSP peanut butter mixed with water to liquefy then add some chopped apples.
  • frozen mixed veggies and one piece of jerky, chopped fine
  •  chopped bananas and a few spoonfuls of yogurt - add to the water and blend.
What other ideas do you have? Please add to the comments and brainstorm with me!
