Can Dogs Eat Watermelon?

Watermelon is a great fruit for dogs, especially in summer. However, you must remove the seeds and rind as these are not suitable for dogs.

There are health benefits of watermelon too as it’s low in calories, high in vitamins A and C as well as a great source of antioxidants.

Dog Ice Cream Ingredients

All you need to make this frozen watermelon dog treats are:

A bowl of watermelon pieces and a small bowl of Greek yogurt are placed on a marble countertop, creating a scene that evokes the delightful freshness of watermelon ice cream on a sunny day.
  • Watermelon – seeds and rind removed
  • Greek yogurt – Coconut yogurt can be used too. Always check the sugar content!

Remember to go slowly when introducing new foods. And we recommend checking with your veterinarian first if your dog has any digestive issues or other health concerns.

How To Make Watermelon Dog Ice Cream

All you need to make this dog ice cream treat recipe is watermelon and natural yogurt. The watermelon should be fresh not canned.

We mixed the ingredients in a blender but you could mash them with a fork too. The blender is quicker.

A blender filled with chopped watermelon and a scoop of luscious ice cream sits invitingly on a kitchen countertop, set against a classic tiled backsplash.

Recipe Tips

For a dairy free option swap the Greek yogurt with coconut milk. Coconut yogurt could be used but check the ingredients for any hidden sugars.

Freeze the ice cream mixture into small ice cube trays for a bite sized frozen dog treat.
