Make a Cool Treat for a Hot Summer Day

Peanut Butter and Jelly Frozen Yogurt for Dogs

Ingredients

• 4 cups plain yogurt, low or fat free  (Do NOT use the ones with artificial sweeteners - those could make dogs sick)
• 1 ripe banana
• 1 cup of blueberries (or you could use strawberries, raspberries or a mixed variety - either frozen or fresh)
• 3 tbsp peanut butter (natural and salt free is preferred. peanut butter should be at room temperature, so it's easier to blend)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• optional: honey (to taste)

Instructions

1. Put all the ingredients into a blender, and puree until smooth.
2. Pour the smoothie into ice cube trays and freeze.

Storing - Frozen treats will last for 6 months or more in the freezer. You can keep the smoothie mix in the fridge (in liquid form, of course) for about a week.

Yield - Using a 1/2 inch ice cube tray, you will make 32 PB & J Frozen Yogurt dog treats.  You can enjoy these yummy cold treats, too!  I love them! 

Have you considered getting a treadmill for your dog or cat?

Not getting enough exercise seems to be the root to a lot of problems (either health or behaviour) for pets in the city. We try to go to the park or walk in the neighbourhood as often as possible, but it's difficult to do it more than once or twice per week. The thing is every time when we take Harry out, we need 2 more hours afterwards to groom him. The long snowy winters and the buggy summer days don't help, either.

We've been thinking about getting a treadmill. The first time we saw a dog on treadmill was on Cesar Millan - the Dog Whisperer. Then, we found some videos on YouTube as well. It seems that many dogs and cats are using a treadmill for exercise!

There are human treadmills and dog treadmills. Why would one buy a dog treadmill if a human treadmill costs about the same? We are going to do some research and let you know.
