Homemade dog treats for summer

There’s nothing like spending summer with your dog: pool parties, swimming in the lake, late night walks and playing with friends in the park. This season surely represents many benefits and entertaining opportunities for dogs.

But as fun as it might sound, it can also represent some risks for them, the main one being a heat stroke, which can cause symptoms such as elevated breathing rates, excessive panting, vomiting, diarrhea, increased heart rates and abnormal gum color. It can also lead to death in extreme cases.

That’s why it is extremely important to keep our dogs cool during the summer. Luckily, there are many ways to do so, such as:

Making sure they always have a bowl of fresh clean water

Avoiding going out on worst heat hours

Don’t exposing them directly to the sun

And the one that brings us here today: feeding them delicious and refreshing homemade treats. They are extremely easy to prepare and a great tool for keeping your dog cool during the summer. They will not only enjoy them for their taste, but also because it will help them decrease their temperature.

Let’s go over some easy DIY recipes for homemade dog treats you can prepare during summer to make sure your pup has the best time possible.

1. FRUIT + YOGURT FROZEN TREAT

This treat is amazing for doggies that are passionate fruit lovers. The best part is that you can use whatever dog-friendly fruit your pooch likes best, there isn’t just one simple and boring way to prepare this delicious treat.

2. PBJ FROZEN TREAT

PBJs are one of the most delicious snacks we can eat during summer, and let’s be honest, every season of the year. The good news is that you can create a dog-friendly alternative of your favorite snack to share with your pooch!

Peanut butter is not only safe for dogs to eat, but it also has many benefits such as reducing the risk of heart disease, boosting heart health, managing blood sugar levels and promoting strong bones.

Nevertheless, it should be given to dogs in moderation, otherwise it can cause some detrimental effects for their health. As a general rule, small dogs should eat no more than half a teaspoon, medium dogs no more than a teaspoon and big dogs no more than one tablespoon a day.

Let’s dive right into this delicious recipe.

Top some of them with one of Mokai’s treats

Freeze for three to four hours

Check if it is frozen and it’s ready to serve

By adding Mokai’s Omega-3 Chews you’ll be reducing your dog’s joint pain, preventing skin allergies and improving brain development.

New Zealand: Community garden brings hope to Wellington’s homeless

Video in Maori language. Click here.

Christmas is when we take people in off the streets, from the prisons, people who have been refered to us by Work and Income. So we’ve taken over seven just over the holidays.”

By Talisa Kupenga Maori TV Dec 30, 2018 (Must see. Mike)

Wellington’s community garden Mokai Kainga is helping the homeless get back on their feet. Those staying here say working in the garden is therapeutic and gives them hope for the New Year.

Resident Jason Aramoana, says “it’s really just the healthy fresh air, a space to breathe.”

Mokai Kainga Gardens Director Robert Te Whare takes in the homeless when they have nowhere else to go. He supports them to get back on their feet.

“It was a nice Christmas we had this year. Christmas is when we take people in off the streets, from the prisons, people who have been refered to us by Work and Income. So we’ve taken over seven just over the holidays.”

Aramoana found himself on the street after a former leg injury prevented his return to work. One of his legs will be amputated in the New Year and he says he would be lost without Te Whare’s support.

He says “[it’s] really important we all need somebody to lean on a lot of us have got no parents. “I’m settled in mind with his type of structure that he has here for all of us here. Family orientated, we just need some of that. We can’t live without it.”

Te Whare says some here just need some time to get back on track “when people come here we don’t say to them ‘you can only stay for a short period of time’ they can stay here until they’re ready to move on.”

Te Whare says maintenance work around the property gives those staying here a purpose and keeps them on the right path.

“They can be feeding the ducks they can be feeding the hens they can do a bit of gardening around the place they can clean the stream, they can be building a bridge and at the moment they are helping to build a pizza oven.”

Te Whare also helps reconnect those staying here with families and remains a support system after they leave.
