Super Easy Frozen Watermelon Dog Treats

Last updated on August 4, 2024 By Puppy Leaks 17 Comments

I love making dog treats, and in the summer making frozen treats is a simple way to help keep your dog cool. And these easy frozen watermelon dog treats are one of my favorites. If you’ve got some seedless watermelon, a blender, and some ice cube trays you’re good to go.

Super Easy Frozen Watermelon Dog Treats

The reason I love this frozen treat isn’t just because they’re so easy (although that definitely helps), it’s because they’re softer than ice cubes. Laika’s never been a fan of regular ice cube type treats, but she goes nuts over these.

These treats turn out a little soft like popsicles, rather than being completely frozen and brittle. They definitely have some crunch to them, but they’re not quite as hard to bite into as ice cubes.

And when it comes using human foods as dog treats watermelon is one of my favorites. It contains lots of vitamins and fiber, and since it’s comprised of 92% water it’s low in calories.

Just remember, as with any treats moderation is key. Although watermelon is low in calories they do add up, and introducing your dog to any new food can cause stomach issues.

Frozen Watermelon Dog Treats

Ingredients

  • One quarter of a seedless watermelon (3 cups worth).

You can use more or less depending on how many treats you want to end up with. One quarter of a watermelon will fill two ice cube trays, making 28 individual treats.

And the reason you want to use seedless watermelon is because the seeds themselves can cause a blockage in your dog’s digestive tract (the rind can also cause diarrhea).

Instructions

  • Chop up your seedless watermelon into cubes.
  • Put the watermelon cubes in the blender
  • Mix the cubes in the blender until they’re the consistency of a smoothie.
  • Pour the liquid into your ice cube tray.
  • Freeze for 3 hours.

And that’s it, that’s all there is to it. After they’re done freezing you’re good to go. You’ve got a nice refreshing (and low calorie) treat to help keep you and your dog cool in the summer.

    Easy peasy indeed! Thanks for sharing this amazing dog treat recipe. My dog loves watermelon and since summer is just around the corner, this dog treat recipe will be perfect. I always use banana and pumpkin to make treats and watermelon would be interesting. Looking forward to reading more of your posts soon. Cheers!

      We’ve just had the warmest summer in years here in Sweden, and these watermelon treats are just perfect for my dog. He can’t get enough of them 🙂

      Black labradors and watermelons is a wonderful combo. I’m loving how you shaped them in your recipe though, I usually never do that. I’m too lazy I guess.

      I agree with Cindy, looking forward to more dog treat recipes in particular. Cheers!

    What a simple yet amazing treat for the fur babies. I have 4 and live in the desert. I’m excited to make these and treat my doggies. They all enjoy ice and other cold treats.

    Just great. One of the easiest dog treats I have come across. I usually freeze treats for my Groodle pup and she loves them. I stuff her treats in her toys and she spends hours licking them and eating them.

    Wow! Outside of being a worthy treat for my canine buddy, it sounds nothing short of fun to me.
    Also, given how lots of human meals have toxic effects on dogs, watermelon is pretty safe, with is nutritional constituents not harmful for dogs.

    Once again, great job with this article and site at large!

    This watermelon recipe is perfect and I wish I’d read this article at the beginning of the summer. We had some really hot days in the UK including the hottest day on record and my pack of three dogs really needed to cool down.
