October 23, 2015 - 3 min read

If you’re feeling the heat of summer, your pooch will be too. These dog friendly treated are not only super quick to make, but will keep your four-legged friend happy in the warmer weather.

Doggy Banana & Peanut Butter Ice Cream

Both you and your adored pup will love this banana and peanut butter ice cream! It’s best to give your pooch this treat outside, as it can get messy. You can also freeze in an ice-cube tray for delicious homemade dog treats for anytime!
