Frozen Fruity Pops for Pups

We’re so mean. We feast on delicious frozen treats while our hot dogs drool. This summer, let your dog indulge too with this recipe for healthy, frozen “Pupsicles.”

We got word from Woof Report reader Adrian (and treat taster, Benny) about fresh, frozen “Pupsicles” that are as healthy as they are yummy. For an easy-to-make natural treat your dog will love, don’t wait. Freeze up a batch today.
