How to make dog popsicles, aka Pupsicles!

Now that we’re experiencing warmer weather, we can begin to treat our special dogs with yummy frozen pupsicles. Not only will they provide some much-needed hydration on those hot summer days but will also make your pups feel super happy and loved.

The pupsicle possibilities are endless! All you need are a few of your dog’s favorite foods, a small container, water and a freezer. Here is a quick and easy recipe recommended by our San Antonio Humane Society Animal Behavior Evaluator/Trainer Daniela Vasquez.

Step 1. Fill the base of the container with wet food (the amount is up to you).

Step 2. Fill the middle part of the container with dog kibble or small treats (the choice is up to you).

Step 3. Stick a milk bone treat (or a treat of your choice) in the center of the container. The wet food at the base will hold it in place.

Step 4. Pour hot water in the container and freeze overnight.

Step 5. Serve to your furr baby!

Tip: If you are having difficulty taking out the pupsicle to serve, just pour warm water on the sides of the container, and it should pop right out.

Our dogs at the shelter are currently loving them! Let us know if you try the recipe at home and don't forget to share your photos with us on social media @SAhumane!
