A simple fun treat for you and your dog are frozen banana slices. All you need to do is place parchment paper on a cookie sheet. Cut 1 medium banana into 1/4 inch slices. Place slices on cookie sheet. Put the cookie sheet in freezer for 2 to 3 hours. I like to place a small dollop of peanut butter on top and sever to the furkids. Yeah and one for me. ...
Ice Cream, you scream we all bark or meow for ice cream! Lets face it we like to think our furkids deserve the saI lean more towards no.me treats we give ourselves.

According to Dr. Tina Wismer, medical director at the ASPCA’s Animal Poison Control Center, the information is false. “This is not true,” said Dr. Wismer. “Dogs do not bloat from drinking ice water on hot days… They can be given as treats or put in the water bowl. Some behaviorists even recommend freezing toys or treats in ice for dogs to chew on.” Bloat is most commonly seen in deep-chested large-breed dogs, Wismer...
