Pour into Molds

  3. Once set, pop the treats out of the molds and serve them as a refreshing snack for your dog.

Notes

  • Ingredients:
    • Blueberries: Rich in antioxidants, blueberries support immune health and help fight inflammation. They are also a good source of vitamins and fiber, promoting overall health in dogs.
    • Coconut Milk: Provides healthy fats that are beneficial for skin and coat health. It also aids in digestion and can help improve energy levels.
    • Gelatin: Supports joint health and digestion, making it beneficial for older dogs or those with joint issues. Gelatin also gives the treats a fun chewy texture that dogs enjoy.
  • Preparation Tips:
    • Ensure that the blueberries are fresh or properly thawed if using frozen ones to maintain the best flavor and nutritional value.
    • Use silicone molds for easy removal of the treats once they are set.
