I have a Great Pyrenees/Anatolian Shepherd, named Patience, and live in Oklahoma. Our climate is not really what her breeds were bred for. She loves winter, especially snow but summer is not her favorite.
Growing up I had Golden Retrievers, they enjoyed swimming in our pond to cool off in the summer. My dog Patience however hates water. A kiddie pool would not be her idea of fun. She mostly stays cool by laying on the tile floor in the kitchen, often under the air vent.
Keeping Your Dog Healthy During the Summer
There are some important things to remember to help keep your dog healthy during the summer.
- Have plenty of fresh cool water available at all time.
- Feed your dog a good quality food. I recommend Wellness® CORE® RawRev™. It supports whole-body health and longevity. Glucosamine and Chondroitin for strong joints, very important for large dogs like mine.
- Limit your dogs time outside when it’s hot.
- Never leave your dog in a car when it’s hot, even warm days a car can get hot very fast.
- Check the temperature of sidewalks and roads before letting your dog walk on it. Roads can heat up very quickly and can injure dogs paws. Check with your hand or barefoot to see if the temperature is comfortable for you.
- If you are going away and leaving your pet in the care of a pet sitter this summer, be sure to use my free pet sitter information printable.
- Give your dog healthy dog-safe frozen treats like the frozen yogurt treats below.

More About Wellness® CORE® RawRev™
Wellness® CORE® RawRev™ is a high-protein, grain free kibble is combined with 100% raw meat pieces to create a savory, nutrient-rich meal packed with everything your dog needs to thrive from the core.
I have fed my dog Wellness dog food for years and have just switched over to Wellness® CORE® RawRev™. She loves the food, especially the freeze dried raw meat pieces, she tends to pick those out first.
She will be 12 years old next month and is going strong. This is amazing since she is a large breed and is a rescue that was near death when we got her 10 years ago. I believe feeding her high quality food like the foods from Wellness® have helped keep her healthy for so long.

I really want to try this! Trying to make my dog a few more treats homemade in the near future, so I’m happy I came across this!
Hope they enjoy the treats as much as my dog does. They are so simple.
I like this idea! our dog is very treat motivated but I like trying new ideas for him, Thanks!
These would be great for any summer training.
Ooh! I need to try these for my pup.
Let me know if you try them. 🙂
I love how easy this would be to make! Definitely will need to try it out.
Gotta love easy DIY projects.
I live in Texas and can certainly understand about the dogs and heat! I have to admit that the first time my hubby fed my dog (that I had before we married) an ice cream cone I nearly dropped my teeth. I’d never seen a dog eat ice cream before – but she loved it! This is a super cute idea.
I’m in Oklahoma so I feel you. This is even better for dogs since it doesn’t have all the sugar but they seem to like it as much.
My dog would love these! I love that you made them paw shaped, that’s so much fun.
Aren’t they cute? I love silicone molds.
Aw these are so cute! I have a shiba. He is a mountain dog too and loves the winter. Not that he hates the summer, but he is a cold weather dog st heart. Ice cubes are his favorite treat. He loves anything cold so I bet he’d love these!
Yeah these mountain dogs just don’t like summer. My dog never has gotten into ice cubes which surprises me. She loves these though.
I’ve been looking at different dog treat recipes. I’ll have to check these out! My pup isn’t a fan of summer either. She’s a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, so with her longer coat she prefers the cooler weather. Winter is definitely her fave — she loves rolling around in the snow!
Aw, I love Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. It’s the only small breed I’ve ever really considered. My dog also love rolling in the snow and attacking snowmen ha.
Im totally going to make our pups some of these! And I added that super cute paw print ice cube tray to my Amazon cart!
It’s so important to keep our pups hydrated in these hot southern summers! This is an easy, quick idea!

Glad you like it and isn’t that mold so cute? I’m going to have to come up with more treats to make in it.
Such a great idea! My pup would love these frozen treats on a hot day like today!
