Warm, sunny days are here, and that means frozen dog treat season! These watermelon dog treats will give you all the summer feels not to mention cool your already cool dog down. 😉
Watermelon is made up of 92% water which is why these watermelon dog treats will seriously quench your dog's thirst this summer. This melon is also packed with healthy vitamins and minerals and is low in calories. It's truly a miraculous melon that you and your pup can enjoy.
Some food for thought
Make sure you are using seedless watermelon and don't include any of the rinds. Both of these can give your dog an upset belly, and no one wants that!
In addition to watermelon, I have included plain Greek yogurt. If your dog has trouble digesting dairy or has allergies, simply omit the yogurt and only use watermelon. Trust me; your dog won't know the difference.

And of course, we all love going the extra mile for our dogs, so I added a parsley topper to these treats. Not only do they look pretty but parsley is great for freshening doggy breath.
I found these silicone molds on Amazon. You can buy them HERE. I'm kind of obsessed with how cute they are and let's not ignore the fact that they are super Instagram-worthy. If you don't have molds, you can always use ice cube trays!
Pro Tip:
When using silicone molds, place them on a baking tray before you add the liquid. Then when you transport them to the freezer, they will be on a flat surface and won't spill all over the place.
Hopefully, these treats make you even more excited for summer. Just looking at them makes me want to grab the sunscreen, a beach towel and bask in the sun. If you make these yummy watermelon dog treats, be sure to tag #barkandbiscuits on IG. I would love to see them!

These look delicious. I will definitely be making these for my dachshund this summer!
I’m so happy to hear! Be sure to take photos of your pup enjoying them!
Hi Elizabeth!
these look great! My Corgi pup will love them!
I was just wondering how long they would survive in the freezer? (not that they would be there for weeks!)
Would you store them in a plastic container or just loose?
Hey Jasmin! Yes, Yes, Yes – I would definitely store them in a plastic container. A ziplock bag would also work. I hope your Corgi pup loves them!
Those icy treats look yummy (in fact so yummy that I want one right now!)! We’ll be getting a lot of hot days in the upcoming weeks and I will definitely try your recipe! Thanks so much for sharing!
Hey Lisa! I’m so glad you will be trying this recipe. They are super easy to make and I’m sure you and your pup will love them!
Thanks for sharing! Do they keep long?
Hey Vanessa! If you are going to keep them longer than a few days I would store them in freezer bags. But I doubt your pup will let them last that long 😉
I was wondering if I can mix the watermelon purée directly with the yogurt and freeze? Or do we have to have the layers there? These look so yummy!
Hey Emma. I haven’t tried to purée the ingredients but I think it would work fine! Definitely saves a bunch of time. Let me know how it turns out if you try it!
These look amazing! Can’t wait to try these out with my fur-babies (especially because they’re homemade!)
Hmmm. I will make these for my two doggos. I’m wondering how they would be for my day care todddlers ?
Can you use ice cube trays? I don’t have the ones you showed?
It says you can use ice cube trays in the recipient.
