Sugar loves watermelon. Being from the Midwest, watermelon is a fruit we only see in the Summer. There is a unique availability of watermelon here in California. Watermelon is made up of about 92% water. It’s been warm here in California and watermelon is a great refreshing fruit. Since it’s Pet Dental Month, adding mint to make watermelon pops will provide your dog fresh minty breath too.
Heart Minted Watermelon Pops
2 Cups of watermelon
2-3 fresh mint leaves
In a blender, puree the watermelon with the fresh mint leaves. Pour the puree into a popsicle mold like a heart shaped mold. Freeze until hard, ~ 2hours. Heart Minted Watermelon Pops can be frozen for up to 1 week. You can serve it as is or add it to your dog’s water bowl.
Heart Minted Watermelon Pops is a treat you and your dog can enjoy together.
It’s an easy way to have fresh breath.
Mint such as wild mint, spearmint and peppermint are non-toxic to dogs. The only species of mint that is toxic to dogs is English pennyroyal (Mentha pulegium). English pennyroyal contains the chemical pulegone, which is both toxic to dogs and to people. If ingested in large amounts, Pulegone can cause liver damage and organ failure.
Have you used mint in making treats for your dog?
Yummy and fresh! I always see watermelons in the produce section here. Maybe just the personal sized ones in the winter though.
that sounds great, to add it to the waterbowl could be a way that even easy gets some fruits :o)
It definitely is not watermelon season where we are!
I’d eat those before they’re even frozen! Yum!
They are BEAUTIFUL and sound so Delicious.
Perfect for Valentines Sugar. Have a marvellous Monday.
Best wishes Molly
To be honest, that sounds yummy to me, especially in a beverage. I haven’t used mint in Harley’s food yet, will have to give this a try! Thanks Sugar.

Luna is a big watermelon fan, so I’m sure these would be a big hit!
They sound great for summertime.
These look delicious! I’d add them to the pups water bowl if I knew they wouldn’t shove their paws in there 😉
That sounds and looks great and easy too.
What tasty looking treats! So great for valentines day, or when dogs need a cold treat to cool them down in the summer. – Petnet(io)
