The summer months with a dog
Boppard. Homemade dog ice cream is a great way to spoil your four -legged friend on hot days and do something good for him at the same time. It is important to always pay attention to suitable ingredients and only use fruits and foods that are harmless to dogs. Basically, no additional sugar or artificial sweeteners such as xylitol (toxic to dogs!) use. The sweetness comes from the natural ingredients. Many dogs do not tolerate large amounts of lactose. Hence using lactose -free yogurt, cottage cheese or kefir.
