Warm Day Cooldown

I enjoy finding unique ways to offer my pets refreshing treats on hot days.  
Here are some fun suggestions for your cat or dog.


    Cats
    Mix water with the liquid drained from a can of tuna, stir in a bit of organic catnip, then freeze in an ice cube tray.  The cubes make  fun toys that your cat may bat around.  I suggest giving this to your indoor kitty in a bathroom (even the bathtub!) so any defrosting mess is easily cleaned.  

        Dogs
       Mix low sodium organic chicken, beef, or vegetable stock 1:1 with filtered water.  Fill ice cube trays with the liquid then place pieces of dehydrated liver, tripe or jerky into each cube. 
Freeze until hard. Please keep an eye on your pet while she/he eats the cubes to prevent a choking incident.

     Chill those Kongs!  Fill an appropriate size Kong with a mix of wet and dry food, place in a plastic bag and freeze for 2-3 hours.  If you feed raw or homemade cooked meals, these work well as stuffing also.  When using their food, note how much you use and deduct that from the amount you feed them at mealtime.
