As we gear up for those warm and sweaty months, it’s always a good idea to stock up on items that will help cool things down. That’s important. And it’s not just people who deserve these sweet, cooling treats. Your pups deserve them too!

With summer racing towards and temperatures rising exponentially, the time has come to find ways for you and your dog to cool down. The good news is that beating the summer heat can be both fun and delicious. In fact, I have a little secret that I’ve used for years to keep me and my pooch cool and comfortable until September: my Peanut Butter & Jam Frozen Mini Cups! I miss my school-standard PB&J sandwiches… I’m pretty sure I ate one every day. There are few things in live more delicious than the special level of deliciousness that can only be reached when peanut butter meets jam! It’s not just humans that go ga-ga for that flavour combination either. Dogs love it too. My fur baby Oscar loves his frozen treats, and these ones are no different. He lights up and cools down every time I put one of these in front of his face. Plus, they look super cute and already come portion perfect. There’s really no downside to these frozen treats, which is why I can’t keep this recipe to myself any longer. It’s time for every dog to enjoy them!
