These three simple recipes make dog safe red, white, and blue dog treats that will help keep your best friend cool all summer long!

I’ll go over the ingredient list in a minute, but before I do here’s a video that shows you exactly how to make these:

The Bottom Line on Fruit Dog Treats Recipes
These recipes are a great way to make a red, white and blue dog treat theme. If you want more traditional fruit dog treats, check out the recipes for apple dog treats here. I also have homemade vanilla dog treat recipes here.
They are all made of dog safe ingredients and are fun to put together.
But remember, they are TREATS and fruit is high in sugar so it should only be a small part of your dog’s overall diet.
