Be Cool and Stay Cool
with Dog Ice Cream

I scream, you scream, we all scream for......Dog Ice Cream!

Well, maybe you don't scream for doggie ice cream, but your dog definitely does! Making your own ice cream for dogs is another great way to help keep your dog cool in the long hot summer months.

Mmm, My Own Ice Cream!

Of course, you should always provide shade and plenty of fresh cool water. But the same fresh water can get dull after awhile. An ice cube or two is a nice treat, but why not really surprise your dog with these two gourmet dog ice cream recipes.

These are great for your next dog party, too. Whip up a batch and freeze them in coordinating mini cupcake liners for a festive look.
