Sunny loves to spend time in our backyard monitoring the squirrels and neighbors so when it’s hot I like to give her an icy treat. This apple ice treat recipe is super simple to make and if you don’t have a Toppl from West Paw, you could use any puzzle mat or an ice cube tray.
Ingredients
- small amount of any nut butter your dogs likes
- 1 – 2 T chopped apple slices
- water
Instructions
- Fill the hole in the Toppl with nut butter and put in the freezer. Make sure to fill the hole from the outside and inside so it seals the hole. Although you can purchase a stopper for the Toppl I prefer to use nut butter since it gives your dog a nice treat. Just remember to check the ingredients for xylitol which is toxic for dogs.
- Once the nut butter is frozen solid, place the chopped apple pieces into the Toppl. Don’t worry if the nut butter pushed out of the hole as shown below. It will still hold the water. You don’t want too much apple, just enough for a little treat. I usually use 1 – 2 slices that have been chopped into smaller pieces as shown below.
- Fill the Toppl to the top with water and return to the freezer.
- Once it is frozen solid, give to your dog for a tasty treat.
