Watermelon Sorbet for Dogs That’s Easy, Cool, and Refreshing

• Yield: About 3 scoops 
• Serving size: 1 scoop, depending on the size of your dog 
• Prep time: 10 minutes 
• Freeze time: 2–3 hours (if starting with fresh watermelon) 

• 3 cups frozen, cubed watermelon (seedless) 
• 1/4 cup watermelon juice* 
• A squeeze of honey (optional) 
• Toppings (optional) 

*You can also use coconut water or just plain water. 

1. Place your diced, frozen watermelon cubes and a dash of honey into a food processor. 
2. Add a little juice. It’s a good idea to just add a little at the beginning and slowly add more as you process the sorbet. Too much juice will give the sorbet more of a slush texture. 
3. Scoop into a bowl. Add toppings and serve immediately. 

This dog-friendly watermelon sorbet is best served as an occasional treat or snack. While watermelon is hydrating and low in calories, treats should make up no more than 10 percent of your dog’s daily calorie intake.  

Because watermelon contains natural sugars, moderation is key—especially for dogs on veterinarian-recommended diets or pups with certain health conditions.  

If you’re introducing this frozen watermelon treat for dogs for the first time, start with a small amount to help avoid digestive upset.

Store leftover watermelon sorbet in a freezer-safe container for up to one month. Let the sorbet soften for a few minutes before scooping and serving. 

For best freshness, keep this dog watermelon recipe in an airtight dog food storage container.
