Cool as a Cucumber!
Does your dog chew or shred when they're bored? Try making a veggie popsicle. Freeze veggies like cabbage, cucumber, and cooked broccoli for a cooling enrichment activity.
For extra flavor, soak the veggies in chicken broth (no onions/garlic) before freezing.
Supervise to ensure your dog is chewing properly and not swallowing large portions.
