A refreshing summer treat of frozen seedless watermelon and yogurt.
Homemade guidance, not veterinary advice
Use only seedless watermelon flesh with the rind removed, since seeds and rind aren't appropriate for dogs. This treat avoids onion, garlic, and other common pet-toxic foods, but it should still be given in moderation. This is general guidance, not veterinary advice; check with your vet if your dog has dietary sensitivities.

Common questions
Can dogs eat watermelon?
Plain, seedless watermelon flesh with the rind removed is a popular hydrating treat for dogs in moderation; the seeds and rind should always be removed first.
Is the rind okay for dogs?
No — the tough rind isn't appropriate for dogs and should be cut away, leaving only the soft flesh.
How much frozen watermelon can my dog have?
A cube or two occasionally is plenty; it's a refreshing treat rather than a meal.
