Top 10 Summer Treats to Keep Your Pets Cool and Hydrated | Barekmor® Pet Foods
As the sun shines brightly and summer temperatures soar, it's essential to keep our furry companions cool, comfortable, and hydrated. At Barekmor® Pet Foods, a premium provider of UK-made hypoallergenic, grain-free dog and cat food, we’ve compiled a list of top summer treats that will help your pets enjoy the heat while staying healthy and refreshed.
1. Frozen Treats for Pets
One of the most effective ways to cool your pet down is by giving them frozen treats. These delightful snacks can be made by blending your pet's favorite wet food or plain yogurt with water, then freezing the mixture in ice cube trays or popsicle molds. For added flavor, throw in small pieces of fruit or meat. Not only will these treats help lower their body temperature, but they’ll also enjoy a tasty and nutritious snack.
Pro Tip: Freeze Barekmor® Pet Foods wet food with pieces of healthy fruits like apples or blueberries for a yummy, cooling treat your pet will love.
2. Watermelon Slices
Watermelon is a naturally hydrating and refreshing fruit, perfect for those hot summer days. Be sure to remove any seeds and the rind, as they can be hard for your pet to digest. Slice the watermelon into small, bite-sized pieces and serve it chilled to give your pet a delightful, cooling treat.
Pro Tip: Watermelon is packed with water, making it a great hydrating treat for pets on a warm day.
3. Homemade Pupsicles
Just like the frozen treats, pupsicles are an excellent way to keep your pets cool. Blend your pet's favorite wet food or plain yogurt with water, then freeze the mixture in popsicle molds. Add small pieces of fruit or meat for an extra treat your dog will love. It’s easy to make and a fun way to cool them down!
Pro Tip: Use Barekmor® Pet Foods hypoallergenic wet food to create tasty pupsicles that are safe for sensitive pets.
4. Chilled Broth
A refreshing bowl of chilled broth can be a perfect treat to keep your pet hydrated during hot days. Simmer bones, vegetables, and herbs in water, strain the liquid, and chill it. Serve the chilled broth directly in a bowl or freeze it into ice cubes for a longer-lasting snack.
Pro Tip: Use Barekmor® Pet Foods bone broth or homemade bone broth to add flavor and nutrients to your pet’s summer treat routine.
5. Frozen Kong Toys
Kong toys are a popular tool to engage pets, and when frozen, they become an even more exciting and refreshing treat. Fill the Kong toy with wet food, plain yogurt, or a mixture of both, and freeze it. This treat can keep your pet busy for hours while helping them stay cool.
Pro Tip: Freeze Barekmor® Pet Foods wet food in a Kong for a tasty and fun cooling session.
6. Fruit Skewers
Fruit skewers make a delicious and healthy snack for pets. You can thread various fruits, like watermelon, cantaloupe, and pineapple, onto skewers and offer them to your furry friends as a refreshing summer snack. The natural sweetness and water content in fruits help keep your pet hydrated.
Pro Tip: Ensure the fruits you use are safe for pets and skip any toxic options like grapes.
7. Frozen Peanut Butter Treats
Peanut butter is a favorite among many dogs, and when combined with plain yogurt or water, it makes for a delicious, protein-packed treat. Add small pieces of banana or apple to enhance the flavor and nutrition. Freeze this mix for a long-lasting, cooling snack.
Pro Tip: Be cautious of the ingredients in peanut butter; avoid any that contain xylitol, a sweetener toxic to pets.
8. Chilled Wet Food
If your pets enjoy wet food, try chilling it before serving. Simply place their meal in the refrigerator for a few hours, and they’ll enjoy a cool and refreshing treat. This is an easy and practical way to keep your pet nourished while also keeping them comfortable in the heat.
Pro Tip: Use Barekmor® Pet Foods premium wet food to create a balanced, chilled treat your pet will enjoy.
9. Frozen Bone Broth Cubes
Make frozen bone broth cubes by freezing bone broth in ice cube trays. These nutrient-packed cubes serve as a hydrating and tasty snack for pets, especially during the summer. Bone broth is rich in minerals, and it supports your pet’s joints, making it a perfect addition to their diet.
Pro Tip: Freeze Barekmor® Pet Foods bone broth for a nutrient-rich, long-lasting treat.
10. Frozen Fruit Popsicles
Create colourful, fun frozen fruit popsicles by blending your pet’s favourite fruits like blueberries, strawberries, or mango with a bit of water or plain yogurt. Pour the mixture into popsicle moulds and freeze them for a vibrant and refreshing treat.
