• ¼ cup unsalted bone broth (beef or chicken; no onion, garlic, or added sodium)
• ¼ cup carrot juice (100% juice, no added sugar)
• ¼ cup sparkling water (plain only; no flavors or sweeteners)
• 1–2 ice cubes (optional, for presentation)
• Carrot ribbon or blueberry, optional garnish

1. In a small bowl or glass, mix the bone broth and carrot juice until combined.
2. Add sparkling water just before serving to keep it bubbly.
3. Drop in an ice cube if your dog enjoys chilled treats.
4. Garnish and serve immediately in your dog’s bowl.

This is a treat—not an everyday beverage—so keep portions small.

• Small dogs: Start with a few tablespoons
• Medium dogs: Up to about ¼ cup, if they tolerate it well
• Large dogs: Up to about ½ cup, if they tolerate it well

If your dog is trying any of these ingredients for the first time, offer a small amount and watch for signs of stomach upset, which can include vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, excessive drooling, and lethargy. If symptoms don’t improve quickly, seem severe, or you’re worried at all, call your veterinarian. 

This recipe is best served fresh because the bubbles won’t last.

If you want to prep ahead:

• Mix the bone broth and carrot juice and store it in the refrigerator in a sealed container for up to 24 hours.
• Add the sparkling water right before serving to keep it fizzy.

If any leftovers sit in your dog’s bowl, toss it rather than letting it hang out at room temperature.

If your dog loves this “spritz,” here are a few more warm-weather dog treats to keep in your back pocket (all in moderation, and always with fresh drinking water available):

• Frozen bone broth cubes: Pour unsalted, onion/garlic-free bone broth into an ice cube tray and freeze.

• Frozen pupsicle treat: Try this homemade frozen pupsicle treat for dogs for an easy, dog-safe summer treat you can freeze in molds—or grab ready-to-serve options like Brutus Broth Brothcicles Turkey.

• Chilled enrichment bowl: Build your own chilled enrichment bowl—choose a base like plain Greek yogurt, unsalted bone broth, or canned pumpkin, add one or two mix-ins (banana, unsweetened applesauce, sweet potato, or chopped dog-safe veggies), then serve right away or freeze for one to two hours for a longer-lasting treat.

• Cooling snacks: Offer dog-safe produce like cucumber slices or seedless watermelon for an easy, no-prep option.

As always, introduce new ingredients slowly and check with your veterinarian if your dog has allergies, a sensitive stomach, or health conditions.
