Warm weather is for ice cream and sunshine for the two humans and their canine companions. While there are many homemade dog ice cream recipes you can prepare yourself, in some cases, whether it’s because of convenience or lack of time, premade options are the best approach.
My dogs seriously love store-purchased dog ice cream, especially during the blistering late spring months. I frequently look for brands that focus on real ingredients, like peanut butter, bananas, and yogurt. There’s also a medley of ice cream brands that even allergy-prone pups can appreciate, including grain and lactose options. It’s vital to try not to take care of your dog’s ice cream made for humans because of potential lactose intolerance in your pet, high sugar content or added flavorings that could be harmful to your pup.
1. Puppy Scoops Maple Bacon
It was difficult for Remy and Lucy to pick a #1; on the off chance that you ask them, they loved all the treats. Be that as it may, after much thought and evaluation of dog responses on my end, Puppy Scoop’s Maple Bacon ice cream dominated the competition. This dog ice cream brand comes unfrozen with a powdered mix you add water to and freeze for something like five hours. Once frozen, let it sit on the counter for 15 minutes before scooping.
2. Wag More Bark Less Iced Treat with Natural Banana
Very much like pups can’t appreciate human ice cream, most dog ice creams are canine-explicit. If you have any desire to ensure your dog is still eating quality ingredients while munching on their pastry, look to get Cloud Star’s Wag More Bark Less Human-Grade Iced Treat that’s made with natural banana.
This dog ice cream brand comes frozen and is not difficult to scoop after setting out on the counter for five or ten minutes. The sans dairy treat includes a coconut creme base and is packed with probiotics.
3. Dogsters Nutly and Cheese Ice Cream
This brand has long been a #1 in my household. We almost always have a couple of these on hand in the cooler for when the dogs need a cool treat. They’re made with a nutty and messy flavor that dogs go off the deep end for and are convenient since they’re already frozen. Indeed, even while Remy tasted another treat a simple four feet away from Lucy, she still kept her sights on this frozen treat, sticking with it until the cup was vacant.
4. Pooch Creamery Ice Cream Mix Carob
Don’t let dogs with allergies pass up the ice cream party. On the off chance that your pup has a lactose or grain allergy, snatch some of Pooch Creamery’s carob-flavored ice cream for a delightful treat. It contains only five ingredients and is not difficult to make by adding water and freezing for eight hours.
Once frozen, the instructions note to set it on the counter for 15 minutes before serving. From my experience, the ice cream was still solid in the middle after waiting the allotted time, so you might have to let it pass on longer for simple scooping.
5. Purina Frosty Paws Peanut Butter Flavor Frozen Dog Treats
Purina is a popular dog food brand, so it’s no shock they also have a line of frozen dog treats. These frosty paw ice cream cups are high in protein and have no additional sugar. The smooth and delicate surface makes it simple for small and large dogs to eat without difficulty.
Even though Lucy will in general be a speedy eater (I’m almost certain she simply inhales her food), she and Remy appeared to appreciate eating this treat without having to accomplish a lot of work. You can also smell the peanut butter when you open the cup, which had my dogs eagerly sniffing the air before they could dive into the treat.
