Cool Summer Treats

Cool & Calm: Frozen Coconut Turmeric Treats for Dogs

These anti-inflammatory, tummy-soothing frozen treats are perfect for hot days and dogs dealing with itchy, inflamed skin from summer allergies.

Why It Works:

• Coconut oil is great for skin health and digestion

• Turmeric is a natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant

• A pinch of black pepper boosts turmeric’s effectiveness (just a tiny bit!)

Ingredients:

• 1 cup coconut oil (unrefined, organic)

• 1/2 tsp ground turmeric

• Small pinch of black pepper

• Optional: finely chopped parsley (for fresh breath!)

Instructions:

1. Melt the coconut oil gently over low heat.

2. Stir in turmeric, pepper, and parsley if using.

3. Pour into silicone molds or an ice cube tray.

4. Freeze for 1–2 hours until solid.

5. Pop out and store in an airtight container in the freezer.

Tip: Start with 1 treat per 20–30 lbs of body weight per day. These are rich, so offer in moderation—especially for smaller dogs.

Fun Variation: Add a small spoonful of plain Greek yogurt for a creamy version!
