Cool Treats for Hot Dogs
I love Indian summer in San Francisco!! Tallulah? Not so much. As a french bulldog who has a hard enough time trekking the SF hills WITHOUT adding 80+ degree weather on top of it, has been so uncomfortable in the heat. I felt so bad for her that I decided to whip up some dog-friendly popsicles (pupsicles if you will ;) They were incredibly simple to make, and no surprise here….she loved them.
All you need: chicken or beef bouillon (make sure you get plain & not one containing spices/additives), water, and an ice cube tray. I used this fun Lego-shaped one & the texture made it easier for her to hold onto with her paw while she chowed down. Instructions: Boil the bouillon in a pot. (Suggested: 1 cup of H2O per bouillon cube). Once boiled, allow to cool for a couple hours, then pour the cooled liquid into an ice cube tray & freeze. For minimal clean-up, serve outside.
*Snob Twist: add some dry dog food, cheerios, or chopped up veggies (carrots or peas work well) as they’re freezing for uber gourmet pupsicles. Nom nom!
