Freezer Dog Treats Ice Cubes

Last summer, after a long walk in the heat, my dog Summer flopped on the kitchen floor, panting. I grabbed an ice cube from the tray and slid it toward her. She nudged it with her nose, pawed at it like a toy, and finally licked it until it melted. The joy on her face gave me an idea: what if ice cubes could be more than plain water? What if they could be tasty, healthy, and safe snacks?

That’s how freezer dog treats ice cubes became part of our daily routine. For Summer, they’re not just snacks—they’re playtime, refreshment, and comfort all in one.

Dog parents love them because they are:
