Summer Treat for Your Dog!


Frozen Banana Treats

Frozen treats are great for keeping dogs cool in the summer, and they can be used to soothe teething pain in puppies.
Recipe
Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Makes: about 16 treats
4 cups (32 fl oz/900 ml) plain, whole milk yogourt
2 tbsp peanut butter
3 ripe bananas, peeled and mashed
Blend all the ingredients to a purée in a food processor.
Pour into 4-oz/115-g plastic cups. Freeze until firm.
Pop the treat out of the cup and watch your dog enjoy!
Vet's View
Bananas are a great source of potassium. Combined with yogourt, they make a healthy treat. The mixture can also be frozen inside stuffable chew toys (seal the tip with a dab of peanut butter first).
