Homemade Summer Treats for Your Pet!
Fill empty center bones with canned dog food and freeze for a cooling, long-lasting treat for Fido!
Used for freezing AND baking, these silicone trays work great for treats all year round.
Looking for creative ways to treat your furry friend this summer? Try these ideas to keep them cool all summer long.
Take a center bone (one that is an appropriate size for your dog) and fill it with your favorite canned dog food. A snack bag with the corner cut off works well for this step. Then, once filled, put the stuffed bone into another snack bag and put it in the freezer. Leave the treat in the freezer until it is completely frozen, then serve to your happy dog!
Another great idea can be made using our Treat Trays. These silicone trays can be used for freezing or baking. For cool summer treats, use these trays to fill with canned dog food or the prepackaged Freezy Pup mix. Also try freezing some fruit (pet-friendly ones!) for those hot summer days.
A Couple Pet Safety Tips...
As always, Dr. Becker has excellent reminders for us when it comes to our pet's safety. Here are two helpful articles--one for kitty owners and one for dog owners.

This Week's Adoptables from HAWS
The lucky family that adopts one of the pets featured here on our blog will receive a coupon from HAWS good for a “congratulations” gift bag from End of the Leash!
To learn more about how to adopt through HAWS, please visit their adoption page. You may also give them a call at 262.542.8851.
Poor Stuart is still waiting for his new “people” to come pick him up! Stuart is a very outgoing 2 year old kitty who is the best of both worlds. He loves to snuggle and purrs like a lion. He even likes to ride on your shoulders. At the same time he LOVES to play. He loves to play so much that sometimes he gets carried away and starts to use his mouth to nibble, so we wouldn’t recommend small children but a playful feline friend would be perfect! Please stop by HAWS today to meet Stuart!
Willy is such a sweet little boy and full of life. With the right amount of exercise and mental stimulation he will flourish in your household. He has spent 5 weeks in the shelter and is really ready for a mom and/or dad who can dote on him like he deserves!
