Hot Dogs to Chilly Pups

Pupsicles!

Since we're in the hot Dog Days of Summer I thought it'd be nice to share some chilly treats for our hot dogs this Tips, Tricks and Treats Tuesday.  

First cooling snack is for Cheese Pupsicles and is pretty easy to put together from the ingredients shown in the pic at left.  Just place some cut up cheese cubes into 

an ice cube tray and add low sodium chicken broth, freeze and pop-out for your pooch. Here's the link in case you want to check it out for yourself...

Summer Yum-yums

Next is a variation on the Pupsicle theme called Cheesy Burger Pops.  These are made with ground beef (and a good recipe for using leftover cooked hamburger), shredded cheese and the same chicken broth used in the first recipe.  You can pretty much just guess at the amounts used in each ice cube tray section, but here's the link for the official recipe...

Frozen Rainbow  for your pooch

This last recipe has three different layers and makes a pretty large treat.  PB&J Pops actually don't require too many ingredients as all you need is peanut butter, yogurt, blue and strawberries plus a rawhide stick if you want to get fancy.  You could also make only one layer on it's own, especially the peanut butter layer as it reminds me of  Frosty Paws you by at the market.  Here's the link for all the chill-acious details...

So don't forget 'ol Chomper or Fifi or Buster on those hot summer days and give them a freezy-treat all their own :)
