Ingredients
- 1 cup of all-natural, pet-safe bone broth without garlic or onions
- 25-30 fresh blueberries
- 4 medium-size fresh strawberries
- ½ cup of all-natural freeze-dried apple chips
- 1 leaf of green kale
- 6 beef gullet sticks
Supplies
- Cutting board
- Knife
- Popsicle molds
- Aluminum foil
- Rolling pin
- Resealable plastic bag
Yield: 6 dog treats
Serving size: 1 dog treat
Prep time: 15 minutes
Freeze time: 6 hours
Total time: 6 hours, 15 minutes
Instructions
- Fill each popsicle mold halfway with bone broth.
- Wash the blueberries and drop 4-5 into each popsicle mold.
- Wash the strawberries, de-stem and cut them into thin slivers.
- Divide the strawberry slices evenly among the molds.
- Crush the apple chips and divide them evenly among each mold.
- Cut the kale leaf into ribbons and top each mold with the garnish.
- Cover each of the filled plastic molds with aluminum foil and gently cut a small X into the middle using the knife. Be sure that the “X” is large enough for the gullet stick to fit through.
- Carefully insert the gullet sticks through the “X” without pressing any foil into the broth. Freeze the molds for 6 hours or overnight.
- To serve, remove the pupsicle from the freezer and run the mold under hot water for 10 seconds to release.
Note: Dogs should always be supervised when eating a bully or gullet stick, and the stick should be chewed thoroughly and eaten in one sitting to prevent a choking hazard. Store leftovers in the freezer.
