This quick recipe comes from an idea that went viral online. The cucumber offers hydration, antioxidants, and vitamins, while the melted cheddar transforms it into an irresistible bite. Great as a high-value reward during training or to hide a pill.
Ingredients
- 3 slices of mild cheddar (medium thickness)
- 1 cucumber, cut vertically
Instructions
- Place the cheddar slices on a plate and microwave for 10-23 seconds, until the cheese bubbles and becomes fluid.
- Cut the cucumber lengthwise, to the same size as the cheese slice.
- Let the cheddar cool for a minute, then wrap it well around the cucumber.
- Allow it to set and cut into small pieces suitable for your dog.
Notes
Use mild cheddar, not aged, because it is lower in fat. You can also use melted cheese alone as a pill pocket. Offer in moderation, in small amounts.
Storage
In the refrigerator in an airtight container for 5-7 days.
