Frozen Cranberry Probiotic Dog Treats
Like a popsicle for kids! Dogs will love these Frozen Cranberry Probiotic Dog Treats. They are so healthy too!
These Frozen Cranberry Probiotic Dog Treats are some of Ruby and Callie’s favorites. A little like ice cream for humans, these frozen treats are like ice cream for dogs.
The minute the freezer door opens, they come running. It’s like opening that bag of treats, they know when the good stuff is coming out!
I like to include ingredients good for my dog’s health.
I use quality ingredients like bananas, goat’s milk, real peanut butter, fresh fruit, and parsley.
You’ll find almost all my recipes include parsley. It’s so good for them.
Why I use Cranberries in my Frozen Cranberry Probiotic Dog Treats
Cranberries are one of my favorite fruits to use in my dog treats. Not only are they rich in antioxidants and nutrients, they help to support my dogs immune system.
Neither of my dogs will eat a cranberry if I handed them one. However, swish it up into yogurt and they’ll eat it every time.
This red delicious berry contains vitamins, minerals and disease fighting nutrients. They also help to lower our dogs risk for heart disease, diabetes and gastrointestinal issues.
Cranberries can even help with getting rid of tartar buildup on a dog’s teeth! For me, that’s a win!
Is Raw Goat Milk Safe for Dogs?
Raw goat’s milk is a wonderful probiotic for dogs. Easy to digest and full of essential vitamins, minerals, fatty acid and digestive enzymes.
Raw goat’s milk is easier for a dog to digest than cow’s milk.
By fermenting goat’s milk it creates an even higher nutritional value when used in frozen dog treats. The fermentation process adds probiotics which metabolizes the lactose in milk.
Even the pickiest of dog eaters will love goat’s milk.
Why I add Parsley to everything I make for my dogs:
I love adding parsley to my dogs treats, homemade dog topping recipes and just about everything I make homemade. However, I use it in moderation. It’s usually a small pinch to not upset their stomach’s.
Pregnant dogs should not have parsley. It can create muscle contractions in a pregnant dog.
Parsley is the best for stinky doggie breath! Who doesn’t love a natural dog breath freshener!
An excellent source of Vitamin C, adding a small sprinkle to give my dogs a boost in nutrition and to help soothe a dog’s stomach.
Dogs with kidney disease should not include parsley in their treats or meals.
