Any Frozen recipes for dogs?

I had a recipe that was so good but can't remember it all

I think it had peanut butter and yogurt and something else and I just how to make it.

A really Yummy Treat I make for Maggie is
Garlick & Cheese
Preheat oven to 375 degrees

1 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup softened margarine
1 1/2 cups of whole wheat flour
1 clove minced garlic * (1 tsp garlic powder maybe substituted for minced garlic)
1/4 cup milk

Cream together cheese and margarine. Add flour, garlic and milk. Mold mixture into ball and roll dough to 1/4" thickness. Cut dough with cookie cutter and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Balke at 375 degrees for 20 minutes or until edges start to brown.
These are so Good, it is hard to give to doggie since Crew is eating them.
YUMMY

i know there are a ton on line & most are easy to make (not that i do)..also you can make a bunch of of the homemade frozen doggie ice cream ones they sell...

my guys love this...peel a banana ..slice it & freeze it. they kill for the slices...it takes just like pudding. try it...really good. i also freeze apples, blueberries, strawberries etc for them & they like them just plain.

usually when it is really hot i freeze some diluted chicken broth or pedialyte into cubes & place that into the water bowl for my guys...it seems to spark their curiousity some since it might be too hot otherwise.

DON'T GIVE ICE CUBES OR ICE WATER !!! you can can bloat in your pet!! this is a life threatening condition which your dog can die from if not treated immediately. you are better off with slightly cool tap water. ice cubes can also crack teeth.

it is tempting to want to cool them down with the ice water but think..you get ice cream headaches...this is what the ice does to their stomachs..it can cause gastric torsion (causing it to flip & twist)...be safe!

I'd leave the garlic out of that or at least ask your vet if that amount is okay for your dog.

Naturaldoghealthremedies.com claims that garlic boosts immunities, fights infection, enhances liver function, lowers blood fats, and repels ticks and fleas, yet cautions that large doses given to dogs on a regular basis can cause oxidative damage to red blood cells leading to Heinz-body anemia and even death. They also caution that puppies under the age of 8 weeks, dogs scheduled for surgery, and those with pre-existing anemia should not be given garlic.

I read this title and was like OMG and its on the pets board ....nooo we cant give out recipes for our pets! Whew glad i opened it lol

Haha I came to comment that I read the title as 'any frozen dog recipes' and thought 'oh.... my God....'. Then I open the thread and discovered I wasn't the only one!

well ya take yer dog & put it in your average walk in freezer....ya might have to entice it with a big ol' bone or something first......

Just left my T appt, yesterday I gave him some "cooling headbands" because he couldn't find the ones I gave him LAST year (!) (he doesn't have AC in his house) anyway he put the new ones on his dogs (some kind of terriers) and he said they stopped with all the panting. This morning he said he refreshed the headbands in the freezer while he was in the shower, and he said they LINED UP for them to be replaced around their little necks! Just google - the less expensive ones usually have less filler and the cooling effect doesn't last as long. I wear one around my forehead, one around my neck. Arf!

i have those...i bring them out to events with me in the summer...they are a godsend!...even if you just soak them in cold water they work...& yup i put them on me too...in a pinch.

they aren't expensive but work like a charm & seem to last pretty good.

if your dogs get really overheated...prime hot areas to cool down are groin & armpits.

stumpy

Thanks stumpy - actually i've been trying to figure out how to fasten them on those areas on myself! hmm... some velcro...

Honestly, I don't know why everybody isn't wearing them (who wouldn't want to look like a mutant teenage ninja turtle?!). I feel at least 10 degrees fahrenheit cooler. Some meds and or diseases make you less heat tolerant, and then that makes the disease worse, like making your blood sugar harder to control. I gave some out on the bus yesterday too. Art Fair is in town, I got an airbrush armband "tribal" tattoo; with that and the black head and neck bands, I look... yeah, really weird. But I feel cool. For a 100 degrees!

looking weird gets you your own seat without sharing on the bus...& in mega heat..that is a good thing.

nothing wrong with that. good to share but sometimes...ya know it's good to be a little .....(fill in the word that works for ya...fat, ugly wierd, what ever perception keeps the seatmate away)

stumpy
who at times took a bus, subway & boat to work every day & so understood the whole sharing a seat thing

LOL!!

Ours got quite a kick out of just plain ice cubes I put one or two in my cat's water bowl sometimes, just to entertain them, watch them paw it around trying to figure out what the heck that thing is in their water, LOL

I just went out on a quest to find some of the cooling headbands...for myself and my dogs! No luck; went to two drugstores. I did find them online, but the heatwave is here now! Where would you find these headbands without having to order them? Two dogs (one 14, other young), cat, and myself are staying inside in the AC, but the old dog really seems to be suffering. I had been putting ice in their water, but after reading how it can be harmful, will not do again. Thanks.

You can get the filler ingredient at a craft store like Michaels and make them yourself , I found directions on the internet. I wanted to respond quickly to you, I will look up the specific instructions and post them in a bit. Last year we went to several stores, like sporting goods, etc, could not find them. I just happened to find my first ones at a running store that had a street going out of business sale. Have never seen them in drugstores or anything.

***UPDATED***

THEY ARE POLYMER CRYSTALS INSIDE

petsmart? petco..other petstores near you might have them or even liker a walmart or something...even draping a washcloth that has been soaked & placed in the fridge for a while will do the trick.

i just make sure my guys keep drinking...go with the water, lots of water, pedialyte if you are concerned about dehydration or even diluted chicken broth too...

i don't have ac so my guys are huddled around the fans & one keeps hopping in/out of the tub to just lay (lie?) on the tile...i am not even going near them...they are hot. i am hot.

doesn't have to be a "pet" cooling bandana...could be one for babies or people....works the same if it is on a furry hairy kid...

stumpy

Yes, thanks to both of you! While I was out on my quest, one store employee suggested Dicks Sporting Goods, but that's a long drive, and they may not even have them in stock by the time I'd get there. I did buy some freezer packs at one store. I like the idea of the cold wash cloth around the dog's neck.
Will do that!

Pepe, the 14 year old, Jack Russell, really is about ready to be put to sleep. He lies on his side and struggles to breathe, even when the heat is not so oppressive. Last night, I got a bowl of ice water, and took a washcloth and wiped him repeatedly, holding it on his head, and under his legs. He is my daughter's dog, which I inherited when she went overseas to teach in Turkmenistan. Daughter and I were sitting with Pepe just last week when she and her family were home for their annual visit, and she said, sadly, "I think it's time to put Pepe to sleep." He has an enlarged liver and his stomach is very swollen. He can no longer get up even one step, and I help him when he goes out. Sweet thing that he is, he has never had any accidents in the house and still goes out to potty despite his condition. And...he still loves to eat! So, it's hard to know what to do. Anyway, I really think the ice water was making his stomach condition worse! Glad I read this thread!

oops that didn't come up on top

polymer crystals I think like to dry flowers? don't let them eat it. I don't think my t's dogs even tried.

I read where they are having sewing bees and sending them to the troops overseas.

I already have a bunch of those (art teacher)! Thanks...didn't realize I could use them for the headbands!

Love you mgran! Your post made my day!

I take and smear peanut butter on doggie milk bones and freeze them. My dog loves them. Just something different instead of just having a little lick of peanut butter off my finger when I make myself a sandwich!

I hosed my dog down outside yesterday. The sun had heated the water in the hose and it isn't ice cold anyway like it is in the winter. He didn't really think he liked it at first, but after he realized it felt good, he wanted more. I started on his feet and ended with his head and face.

His undercarriage (groin and armpits) is what he liked the most.

I don't know the quantities (I just mix it all together and then stick it into cups to freeze) but a good mixture is non-fat plain yogurt, peanut butter, honey, mashed banana. Pretty high calorie, so you do want a high ratio of yogurt. I've also experimented with non-fat yogurt and baby food - sweet potato and a protein, like beef. Really easy and the dog really likes it.

Laughing Out LOUD to Myself,

See just goes to show, Dogs have a great cooling effect!!!

Ya'll are GREAT, Really....
