Some important reminders: 

  • These cocktails should be considered an occasional treat for your pooch and always served in moderation.
  • Make sure the portions are given in small amounts.
  • They shouldn’t replace water as a primary source of hydration.
  • Make sure the portions are spread out over several days. You can freeze them and save for later.
  • Some dogs could have sensitivities to the ingredients, so they may not be suitable for all pooches. If you’re concerned about giving your dog new foods, speak to your vet.
  • Glassware is not to be used when presenting to your dogs, we’ve used plastic cups.
  • When making our recipes, reduce your dog’s usual food portion so they’re not overfed.
