You all are wonderful! Thanks again! Keep the great ideas coming!
My dog LOVES the Ice Pups! Thank you so much for making the treats for my dog (“our dogs out there”), it is so nice to be able to give them a healthy treat! You all are wonderful! Thanks again! Keep the great ideas coming! We buy the Smooches and the Nuzzles all the time!
We Love Ice Pups!
Let me introduce you to Polly, Tyson, Tucker and Crush. These pups LOVE our Ice Pups!! Their Mommy Christine was nice enough to send us a great review on every pooches favorite treat! You can make Ice Pups as a warm broth for the colder days or you can freeze them into cubes for a cool summer time treat. Yumm!
This past winter I started making a broth with Ice Pups first thing in the morning. I warm up 1 cup of water and add 1 tsp. of Ice Pups. Each of my 4 dogs gets two ounces. They LOVE it! Since my min pin and rat terriers don’t drink much water in the winter, this was my way of hydrating them before I leave for work.
Now that it’s late Spring I find I can’t deny them their “broth”! They line up and wait for their bowls!
GREAT PRODUCT! THANK YOU! Each dog rates it a HIGH FIVE!Chris Beck

ICE PUPS –THE PERFECT TUMMY WARMER FOR A COLD WINTER’S DAY
Never mind the name! Or think of ICE PUPS as a delicious warm drink for your Icy Pups on these chilly winter days.
When you think of having a steamy cup of hot chocolate for yourself, your pooch can have a warm tasty Ice Pup beverage to chase away the chill and put a smile on his lips. My three snow-loving dogs fly in and out of the frosted dog door, chasing squirrels at the bird feeder or giving themselves a snow bath in the newly fallen snow. When they come inside with frosty ears and toes and snowflakes clinging to their whiskers I have just the right treat to warm their insides. Before they can settle down for a nap in front of the toasty wood stoves, I put a couple of small scoops of Ice Pups in their bowls and mix it with a cup of warm water. It dissolves in a minute and they slurp it up like nobody’s business, as they say. Their enthusiasm is really astonishing – it’s made me wonder if it’s better than my hot chocolate!
Lucy may have developed Ice Pups to be made into frozen tongue-coolers for hot California summers, but she probably had some idea what a great bonus it would be for après-walks in wintry climates. She has done it again with this formula because I have tried giving the dogs warm diluted broth (even with “Better than Bouillon” that is low sodium and has no MSG) but it doesn’t really interest them. However, the reaction to Ice Pups made into a warm beverage is universally enthusiastic: down the hatch it goes with energetic slurping.
The winter air indoors and outside can be really drying and it’s hard to make sure dogs get enough hydration when they don’t feel the heat of summer. The Ice Pups drink solves that: they not only get some warm liquid in them but along with it, some top-notch nutrition.
And what about the “sick bay?!” Another incredible use of Ice Pups is that it gives some nourishing satisfaction to you and your dog when her appetite is off. You worry about her having an empty stomach – and Ice Pups is something she’ll want even when she’s off her feed and doesn’t want solid food. Post-surgery it’s an absolute life-saver. Both of my Weimaraners had to have two molars extracted and food was out of the question for at least a day. Warm Ice Pups to the rescue! It not only makes your dog feel good, YOU feel good being able to give them this comforting treat.
