It's July in New Jersey, and we know what that means: hot, hazy days, and pets prowling around the house in search of something cool. Braving the Summer heat is not just about keeping pets hydrated, but also about finding ways to stimulate their senses and provide enjoyment despite the high temperatures. Offering cool treats to your dogs and cats is a fun and refreshing way to ensure, they beat the heat in style and relish the season too.
Chilling with your pets at The Hungry Puppy while they savor a frozen treat will not only help you bond but also keep your pets cool, healthy and active throughout the summer months. We carry an expansive range of pet food and treats like "Taste of the Wild" and "Canidae", renowned for their high-nutrient compositions. And guess what? You can turn these delightful menus into frosty treats for your pets!
For dogs, one of the simplest cool treats is to freeze their favorite canned dog food. Slice the "Taste of the Wild Dog Food" into loaf chunks and freeze them, the iciness would be soothing and invigorating on a hot day. Similarly, you can puree their beloved raw fruits and vegetables in a blender, pour them into an ice cube tray, and freeze. The resulting "pupsicles" can serve as perfect, inexpensive treats that not only cool them down but also offer nutritional benefits. For an extra special touch, a Nutri-Vet supplement can be mixed into the blend to create a beneficial and frosty snack.
Cats, known for their discerning taste, would also appreciate some frosty treats during the heated months. One intriguing and nutritious option is freezing and then serving slices of the "Canidae" cat foods. Or how about creating delightful fishy popsicles by freezing low sodium broth with a few morsels of their favorite fish? Remember though, cats are obligate carnivores. You want to ensure whatever treat you prepare is rich in animal-based protein and low on fruits and vegetables.
No matter what your pet's preference, there's a cool summertime treat to keep its tail wagging or have it purring in delight. Plus, making these fun and nourishing frozen goodies can become an enjoyable summer ritual for you and your pets. So, here’s to summer and the cherished moments it brings! Always remember, The Hungry Puppy is here to lend a hand with our wide range of pet foods and treats, and of course, a healthy dose of pet-parent advice!
