Ingredients

• 1 small mango
• 1 small watermelon
• 1 pot of greek yoghurt*

Method

1. Wash the mango and watermelon, remove the skin and chop into small pieces.
2. De-seed the watermelon.
3. Place into a blender and blend until you have a puree consistency.
4. Combine with the yoghurt.
5. Pour the mixture into your ice mould and place in the freezer for 3 - 5 hours.
6. Pop out of the mould to serve.

These ice pups can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Remember to only offer your dog treats in moderation.

*Make sure your yoghurt doesn’t contain any sweeteners or flavourings that could be harmful for your dog. Also, if your dog cannot tolerate dairy, coconut yoghurt is a great alternative to opt for.
