Delicious Ice Cream Recipes For Dogs

Ice cream are ideal to enhance the hydration of our dogs during the summer. But be careful with the ingredients as they can harm you. You cannot use sugar, chocolate or coffee.

During the summer, our pets lose a lot of water. Therefore,  when the summer season approaches, we must be on the lookout to reinforce your hydration. An excellent way to achieve this is to prepare a delicious and refreshing ice cream for dogs.

Can dogs have ice cream?

At first, all dogs can enjoy a  delicious ice cream  on a hot summer day.

However,  when preparing ice cream for dogs, we should not add ingredients that are harmful to their health.

Therefore, in our recipes we will not use chocolate, coffee, sugar or artificial sweeteners.

The idea is to prepare healthy ice creams, with fruits that are beneficial to dogs, such as strawberries, apples, pears, peaches or blueberries.

We will also teach you how to prepare a savory, refined and practical ice cream that provides good quality and lean protein for your furry one.

Also, as many adult dogs are allergic to lactose, we will not use milk in our preparations.

To obtain a creamy ice cream,  we can use vegetable milk (from rice, for example) or natural yogurt with little lactose.

Another excellent option is to use kefir to prepare a very nutritious ice cream for your dog. 

This natural probiotic stimulates intestinal transit, strengthens the  immune system  and prevents various pathologies.

Therefore, incorporating it as a natural supplement in your diet can be very beneficial, always with the proper guidance of your veterinarian.

Here  are four ice cream recipes for dogs that are very nutritious and easy to make.
