Crunchy frozen carrot sticks with a light broth-and-coconut coating for warm days.

This is the kind of treat I’d make when I want something refreshing but still simple. Carrots are easy to prep, easy to hold, and perfect for dogs who like a little crunch.

Ingredients:

1 cup peeled carrot sticks, 1/2 cup low-sodium dog-safe bone broth, 1 tsp coconut oil.

Steps:

Peel and cut carrots into dog-safe sticks. Warm the broth slightly and stir in coconut oil. Dip or toss carrots in the mixture. Place on parchment paper and freeze for 3–4 hours.

Storage:

Keep frozen in a freezer-safe bag or airtight container for up to 1 month.

Dog-safety notes:

Use low-sodium broth with no onion, garlic, seasoning, or artificial flavors. Cut carrots to your dog’s size and supervise chewing.

If you want those rules to live somewhere more permanent than your memory, a personalized safe-food fridge magnet keeps the "never feed this" list exactly where you'll see it — right before you reach for the garlic powder.

When to use this treat:

Hot afternoons, teething puppies, supervised chew time, or backyard enrichment.
