Aldi's Frozen Dog Treats Are the Coolest Summer Find for Your Pup
When the temperatures start climbing, we're not the only ones looking for ways to cool down-our dogs feel it too. And while shade, water and shorter walks all help, sometimes you just want to give your pup a little something extra to beat the heat.

Heart to Tail Frozen Dog Treats, $2.95 at Aldi
These frozen dog treats come in a pack of four, priced at $2.95-that's about 74 cents per treat. Each box includes two "Original" and two "Cheese and Bac'n" flavors, giving pups a little variety within the pack.
They're designed to be served straight from the freezer, offering a cool, creamy treat that's perfect for hot days.

What's Actually Inside?
These treats look a lot like vanilla ice cream, but don't worry-all of the ingredients are dog-safe. Both flavors are primarily made of water, cheese, and sweet whey powder, so they're essentially frozen, flavored cheese (and what dog wouldn't love that?).
They're free from gluten and artificial flavors, which is a plus for many pet parents. However, they do include some additives and preservatives.
Each treat clocks in at about 97 calories, with high moisture content (around 75 percent), making them more hydrating than your average biscuit-style treat.
Great for a Special Treat (Not an Everyday Staple)
Each individual tub is about 3.5 ounces, which is fairly large for a dog treat. Depending on your dog's size, you may want to serve it in smaller portions rather than offering the whole thing at once.
In addition to being cooling, the texture of the treat makes it a bit of an activity. Dogs have to lick their way through it, which can help keep them entertained and distracted for a while.
While these treats are fun and refreshing, they're not something you'll want to give daily. They're not especially nutrient-dense and are best reserved as an occasional, special treat.
A Growing Trend for Dogs
Dog ice cream has been popping up more and more in recent years, and it's easy to see why. It's a simple way to add enrichment, hydration and a little excitement to your dog's routine, especially on hot days.
For under $3, Aldi's version is an easy, budget-friendly way to try the trend. Just keep in mind they're a seasonal item, typically available only in spring and summer. If you spot them on your next Aldi run, it might be worth grabbing a pack or two before the heat really starts to ramp up.
