It’s said that dogs are man’s best friend. But, it is women who have primarily helped to domesticate them and foster the human-dog connection, according to a 2021 study conducted by anthropologists at the Washington State University. So, it only makes sense to celebrate a woman's bond with her dog on National Dog Mom Day, Make your doggos a part of the party by whipping up some treats for them.
Chef Sneha Singhi Upadhaya, who has four dogs and runs a shelter for strays, says, “Two of my four dogs have sensitive stomachs. Most of the store-bought treats have a lot of preservatives and would’ve been made some six months to a year ago. I prefer giving my dogs fresh food. I like knowing what’s going into their tummies and I make most of their treats at home. So in the summer, I make them a healthy ice cream that they just lap up.”
Sweating in the sweltering heat can be unbearable for a human and much worse for a dog. Cold treats like popsicles and ice creams come to the rescue. Instead of letting them lick off the ice cream from your spoon to give them some respite, DIY treats for your fur buddies.
Chef Ishmeet Singh Chandiok, who is a certified canine nutritionist and the founder of Harley's Corner, says, “For summer, one of the easiest treats that you can give your dogs are flavoured ice treats that are made using fresh fruits and vegetables.” These treats will have natural ingredients, making it a healthy option and you will be able to control their calories, too.”
