Pupsicle recipes to keep your dog
COOL this summer
Use good judgment when giving fruit-frozen treats to your dog to avoid staining of carpeting, furniture or clothing. Avoid using toxic-to-dog fruits like cherries, grapes and raisins. Remove seeds from fruits, and avoid sugar-free peanut butters using Xylitol. Citrus fruits like lemons, limes and grapefruit can cause stomach upset.
