These easy to make Rockmelon and Yoghurt Dog Treats are a lovely healthy snack for your furry friends to enjoy during the hotter weather.
Rockmelon and Yoghurt Dog Treats
Our furry friends feel the heat just as much as we do. They love to snack on healthy frozen treats like these rockmelon and yoghurt mini snacks.
Rockmelon for Dogs
Rockmelon, also known as cantaloupe, contains lots of important nutrients for your dog. Nutrients such as vitamins A and C, antioxidants and fibre are great for your dog’s eyes and fur as well as for digestive health.
Substitutes
Rockmelon can be substituted for other fruits such as:
- Apple
- Banana
- Watermelon
- Mango
- Strawberries
- Blueberries
Just make sure that the fruit is safe for dogs before making these treats. Fruits such as grapes will make your dog very unwell.
Yoghurt
The best yoghurt for dogs is plain yoghurt. Make sure to read the ingredients and use a plain yoghurt that contains NO xylitol or artificial preservatives or sweeteners.
Mould
To make these treats, I used these dog bone moulds.
You could also use an ice cube tray or something similar, as you don’t want treats that are too large.
Making Rockmelon and Yoghurt Treats
To make these rockmelon and yoghurt treats, you will need:
- 1 cup of fresh rockmelon
- ½ cup of plain yoghurt
Cut the skin off the rockmelon and dice it into smallish pieces.
Place the rockmelon in a blender or food processor.
Pour in the yoghurt and blend until smooth.
Pour into moulds and place in the freezer.
Freeze for at least two hours, or until solid.
Remove from mould and store in an airtight container in the freezer.
Give one frozen treat to your dog to enjoy!
