Optional Fun – Connect a piece of cotton rope (or use a dog’s tug toy) and freeze just one end of the rope inside the water.

When it freezes, you can hang the dogsicle from a sturdy tree limb. Your dog can have a fun, frozen tug game. When the dogsicle melts, it will release from the rope.

This recipe can be altered to include your dog’s favorite ball or toy.

As with all new toys, please supervise your dog’s play.
