DIY Dog Toy and Frozen Treat Block

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Nature’s Recipe®. The opinions and text are all mine.

Mr. Cooper is as hyper and tail-wagging as usual. Pretty sure he’s ready for the mud to disappear and the grass to return, but we’ve got a few more weeks before that starts happening.

While we still have to wait for the seasons to change, we don’t have to wait for the convenience of Nature’s Recipe Dog Food at Walmart! I was recently asked by Nature’s Recipe to share this exciting news, and I’m doing that with a DIY Dog Toy and Frozen Treat Block!

DIY Dog Toy and Frozen Treat Block

If you’re not familiar with Nature’s Recipe, it makes purposeful recipes with ingredients from nature to provide exactly what your dog needs to feel like his most vibrant self, each and every day.

You dog will get high quality protein with a bowl of Nature’s Recipe, but no flavors colors or preservatives, and also no poultry by-product meal. Mr. Cooper enjoyed the Nature’s Recipe Grain Free Salmon Dry Dog Food from Walmart that I used to make a Frozen Dog Treat Block.

Frozen Dog Treat Block

To make a frozen dog treat block, start with a clean plastic ice cream bucket. Pour in two cups of dry dog food or a handful of treats, and fill the bucket about halfway up with water.

Stick it in the freezer until frozen, then remove to reveal a frozen dog treat block. Your dog will love licking and gnawing into this on a hot day! It was about 68 degrees when I gave this one to Mr. Cooper and he had it gone in less than 5 minutes, but man did he have fun!

Making this DIY Dog Toy is super simple! Just grab a sock and tennis balls from around the house, or a pick up a spring sock if you’re like me and in the mood!

Stick one tennis ball into the heel area of each sock. Tie two or three knots in the sock to secure the ball inside, and let your dog chew and pull away!

After digging into that frozen block filled with Nature’s Recipe dry dog food, Mr. Cooper was ready to play. He gave this toy a run for its money, let me tell ya! Good thing I’ve got three of these ready for play time, for less than $5!

I’m all about budget friendly, as you can tell with this DIY dog fun. That’s one reason having Nature’s Recipe at Walmart is pretty awesome. Another reason, it also comes in wet dog food varieties.

Mr. Cooper loves getting spoiled with wet dog food, since we usually buy dry, and he dug right into the new Nature’s Recipe Chicken and Duck Wet Dog Food.

    Cute dog toys! He looks like he is enjoying the playtime with it as well as his frozen treat on a nice warm day. We don’t have a dog but we have family and friends that do so I’ll share this with them!

    The frozen treat block is perfect for our hot summers. I’m definitely going to remember that (and pass it along to my dog-owner friends.)

    Hey that is a pretty clever way to make a toy! The frozen treats are a really good idea too. I think that Nature’s Recipe grain free food is the way to go!

    This is seriously brilliant! We have a 200lb long-haired St Bernard and I know he will be thrilled with a frozen treat block during the hot summer days to come. We are definitely going to do this for him!
