Before it Melts My Pupsicle
Pumpkin is becoming the new favorite in healthy dog snacks. Have you noticed how many treat companies are adding a pumpkin treat to their line? It's no wonder. This vegetable is fiber-rich, full of anti-oxidants and beta-carotene, and low calorie. It's a perfect snack for a fit fido.


Here in Florida the weather is still plentiful warm so we're taking advantage of the availability of organic pumpkin to create some frozen treats for Tanner and Oliver. If it's too chilly where you live, tuck this recipe into your Summer plans and serve it whenever your pup can enjoy a cooling snack.

Tanner Gobbles Them Fast


Pumpkin Pupsicles


Mix about 1 cup lowfat plain yogurt with 1 cup mashed pumpkin. I use organic to know I'm giving Tanner and Oliver the best--no fertilizers, pesticides or synthetic preservatives. You can add a tablespoon of honey if you wish, but honestly that's more for our tastes than for theirs.

Oliver Savors the Flavor
Spoon the mixture into an ice cube tray and freeze until solid. Pop the Pupsicles out and store for serving one at a time, depending on your Fido's size.


Do you have a pupsicle recipe to share? I'd love to hear from you at AllThingsDogBlog@gmail.com. Happy tails!

Well-nourished dogs who are fed a healthy, organic food just have that look about them. Their coats shine and their energy seems to always be vibrant. Two winners will be receiving a coupon for a 25 lb. bag of Organix, the official food of the All Things Dog Blog dogs. 


Tanner and Oliver have never yet balked at chow when I serve their favorite. They seem to know that their Organix dinner is the best I can give them. Whatever it is that makes them love it--the taste, the absence of synthetics and toxins--they always chow down as if they don't know when their next meal is coming. No complaints from me.

I really appreciate these great pics. It's too bad there's not space to share them all here, but I try to plug them all in to Facebook, so always watch for your photos there.
