Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time:2-3hours
Yield:1 serving
Ingredients
-
2-3 cups of water
-
½-1 cupbone broth (bison, beef, elk,chicken or turkey works here)
-
½cupdog treats, chunks of meat,your dog’s favorite veggies
-
¼cup peanut butter or tallow (melted)
Instructions
-
Mix water and broth together to makea very light broth that the dogs will love.
-
Find a sturdy four cup freezer-safe bowl or dish. Add some treatsto the bottom and fill it with your broth/water mixture.
-
Let the mixture freeze for about 30 minutes. Itdoesn't need to be completely frozen solid at this point.
-
Add a thin layer of peanut butter or melted tallow to the top of the ice and return to the freezer for another 30 minutes.
-
Freeze the block solid for at least two hours.
-
To unlock the ice block, just let it thaw on your counter for 5-10 minutes. It should pop right out of the container. You can also run it under warm water to release the block. DON'T do this if youuse a glass bowl, as it could shatter from the sudden temperature change.
-
Place the ice block in a large high-rimmed bowl so the dog can reachit, but itwon't melt all over your floor. I also like to set a towel on the floor or place the bowl outside, so that it does not slide all over the floor.
