We’re thrilled to be hosting our second virtual Yappy Hour with Texas Public Radio this week. Join us free on Thursday, July 30 from 6:30 – 7:30 PM and watch Marilyn Chihuahua and her owner Baelyn Grell make this pup-colada live!
Are you looking for the perfect summer treat for your pup? Then let’s whip up some pup-coladas!
Your pup is going to love this dog friendly piña colada recipe. The best part, you can prep the pup-coladas in advance and freeze it into a Kong toy.
Can Dogs Eat Pineapple?
The short answer? Yes! According to the American Kennel Club, pineapple can be a great boost to immune system and digestive health. There’s still a lot of sugar in pineapple, though, which can give your dog a bellyache (or worse) if eaten in large amounts. And fresh over canned pineapple is recommended, too. Here are some other fruits and veggies that are safe for your pup to eat.
Frozen Piña Colada Recipe for Dogs
Here’s the list of ingredients you will need:
1 tbsp of local honey
1 tbsp melted coconut oil
1/3 cup fresh pineapple
½ cup low fat yogurt
Instructions:
1. Prep your Kongs by placing them into a cup that holds them snuggly, this will help keep them upright while they freeze in the freezer.
2. Dice up your pineapple small enough so it fits into the Kongs.
3. Mix the yogurt, pineapple, honey, and coconut oil together in a bowl.
4. Pour the mixture into the Kongs and place them in the freezer.
5. Remove when frozen and feed to your pup!
I love making Marilyn these frozen treats. It allows me to use the freshest ingredients possible because she deserves the best and so does your pup. Enjoy!
