Make your own dog ice cream
Summertime is ice cream time! It's not just us humans who enjoy a frozen dessert when the temperatures are high. Dogs are also happy to enjoy a tasty cool-down!
Can dogs eat ice cream?
Most owners are probably aware that we cannot simply spoil our dogs with the sweet temptation from the nearest ice cream parlour. Sugar and other ingredients can make dogs ill. However, with the right ingredients, our four-legged friends don't have to miss out on the pleasure of ice cream.
The important thing is not to feed your dog too much ice cream at once! Some dogs react to the frozen delicacies with stomach upsets and abdominal pain. It is therefore better to feed small portions several times a day.
Also note: include the ice cream portions in the ration calculation so that the dog does not put on weight!
The advantages of homemade dog ice cream
Making your own ice cream for your dog has a few plus points:
- Choose your own ingredients: One of the most important reasons to make your own dog ice cream is that you have the power to decide on the ingredients. Especially with sensitive dogs, you can then consciously choose the foods that your dog can really tolerate.
- Prepare your favourite flavour: If you make your own ice cream, you can tailor it to your dog's individual preferences.
- Small effort - big effect: It's quick and easy to make and you're doing something good for your dog!

Homemade and frozen broth is also ideal as a cool snack between meals and provides your dog with additional liquid.
- Simply simmer 1.5 litres of water and the desired ingredients (vegetables, chicken or beef) for approx. 1.5 hours.

Tip: Adding finely grated carrots to the moulds and soup on top provides additional flavour and is also healthy.
