It is no surprise that summers can be rough for your pets. Right from avoiding any physical activity to even limiting their diets, pets definitely put us in a frenzy! While it may be difficult for pet parents to understand why their happy pooch who usually demands 4 meals a day suddenly stops eating, this is no reason to worry. Hot weather and less activity normally lead to less food intake. However, what you can do is provide them with some healthy summer-friendly treats that will help your pooch feel calm and cool. Check out some of these options that we have listed for you:
Frozen Fruit Treats
Offering them some seasonal fruits such as watermelons, musk melons, bananas, apples, berries, and mangoes in the form of frozen treats. All you need to do is cut these fruits into bite-sized pieces according to your pet and freeze them altogether. Do ensure that you remove, peel, seeds, and rinds before that.
Buttermilk
Buttermilk in both natural and frozen form is a fantastic treat during the summer season. You can either prepare it at home or purchase a non-flavored pack from the market.
Yogurt
Unsweetened Yogurt will also do wonders for your pet’s sensitive tummy. Try adding some fresh mint leaves to the yogurt and it would aid in keeping them cool and protected against the fierce heat.
Frozen Chicken Broth
This is easily one of the most popular treats for pets in summers. All you have to do is take some chicken stock and freeze them in ice trays placing little pieces of chicken in them. Your pooch is sure to have a fun time both playing with this ice cube and devouring it completely.
Cucumbers
The best part about cucumbers as a treat is that it is really very low on sugar, have numerous vitamins, and have plenty of water content that keep the pets hydrated. They can be fed directly after peeling, when at a cool temperature.
Peanut Butter & Jam Pops
This will be both comfort food and a flavourful snack for your fur baby. Use natural peanut butter and a dollop of unsweetened jam or fruit puree and place them in layers in an ice tray until they froze together. You can then serve these treats straight out of the freezer.
Try these yummy and healthy summer treats for your pets and watch them enjoy themselves. Bon appétit!
