Ice Cube "Cake" (For Dogs!)
In order to keep my fur babies cool AND hydrated, I made them a very special "cake" just for dogs - made from their favorite toys and treats.
Ingredients
- 1 gal fresh water or however much is needed to fill the container of your choice
- 1 cup your dog's favorite bite sized treats
- 4 hard plastic or solid rubber dog toys that can fit in container
- round bucket or plastic container
- pie pan or short sided container that can hold melting ice should be larger than container holding ice
Instructions
- Arrange the treats and toys in the bucket or tupperware. Try to pick treats and toys that will sink and some that will float for a range of items to find throughout the ice. Fill the container with water so that the toys and treats are covered in water. Use the lid to keep anything that floats pressed down into the water. Freeze until solid, about 6+ hours.
- When ready to serve, let the container thaw for about five minutes to help loosen the ice from the sides. Remove the lid. Place the pie pan or similar container (with short enough sides that your dog can comfortably lick the ice as it melts) on top of the ice. Flip the bucket over so that the "ice cake" fits in the pie pan. Place outside in a shaded area and be sure to show your pup where the treats are poking through so they know what to do! Happy Summer!
