Halloween Frozen Dog Treats

One summer, I made simple bone broth ice cubes for Muhammed to help him stay cool and hydrated. He loved them so much that they became a regular warm-weather snack. When Halloween rolled around, I thought, Why not give this idea a spooky twist?

I grabbed a bone-shaped silicone mold, dropped a few blueberries in each cavity, and poured the rich, golden bone broth over them. As they froze, the blueberries bled their deep purple color into the broth, creating eerie swirls that looked like something from a mad scientist’s lab. The first time I served them, Muhammed sniffed one curiously, gave it a tentative lick, and then crunched it down with pure delight. From that moment, they became our October tradition.

Halloween where I live isn’t always chilly — in fact, the afternoons can still be surprisingly warm. I wanted a treat that would not only keep my dog Muhammed cool after our daily walk but also match the fun, spooky spirit of the holiday. That’s how my Halloween frozen dog treats came to life — a mix of refreshing ingredients and playful presentation.
