Note – Always ensure your pet is not allergic before introducing any new food into their diet. If unsure, call your vet.
Directions
Step 1
Rinse strawberries and blueberries. Set aside.
Step 2
Cut stems off of strawberries
Step 3
Mix 1/2 cup water and all 8 strawberries in the blender. Blend until liquefied. Repeat with Blueberries. (Mixing 1/4 cup Blueberries with 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of water).
Step 4
Pour berry/water mixture into ice cube trays using a cake decorating tip to help prevent any leaks. View my DIY Frozen Luau Dog Treats to see this technique. Repeat with the blueberry mixture.

Freeze for 2-4 hours or overnight.
Once they are frozen, pop them out and serve 1-2 cubes to your Irresistible Pet! You can put the remaining cubes into a plastic container and store them in the freezer. Now when your dog is hot you will have a quick, tasty, frozen treat on hand to cool them off!
