How to Make Them

Once you have your ingredients ready, the preparation is simple. Put the watermelon and yogurt into a blender and blend until it is a smooth consistency, and there are no chunks. Once it’s blended well, fill ice cube trays or silicone molds with the liquid and place them into the freezer for about 3-4 hours. After they’re frozen, pop them out of the trays and store them in an airtight container in the freezer for later.

Health Benefits

Watermelon is a tasty fruit that is high in vitamins and antioxidants while being low in calories. It’s also a natural way to hydrate your dog and keep them cool during a hot day. Yogurt is an excellent source of probiotics, which help maintain your pup’s gut health. Mixing watermelon and yogurt creates the perfect healthy and refreshing treat for your furry friend.

If you’re a busy pet parent and don’t have time to make these at home, you can always get a gourmet Fruit & Yogurt Antioxidant Bar for your pooch during their next stay with us. These handmade bars offer the same benefits as popsicles and are a yummy, healthy snack.
