Can Dogs Drink Coconut Water?
Yes! Dogs can have coconut water occasionally as a nice refreshing treat. Coconut water is packed with electrolytes and would be a perfect treat after your pup has been out on a nice long walk or run.
Coconut is non-toxic to dogs. However, it is recommended that you avoid feeding dogs too much of the coconut meat because it may cause them to have an upset stomach.
Most dogs tolerate coconut water, coconut oil, shredded coconut, coconut meat without any issues. If your dog has never had coconut before then you would want to have them try a little bit to see how their body responds to it.
Coconut is as easy on their stomach as regular water is, but it contains carbohydrates, so let them enjoy as an occasional special treat!

- Fill paper cup 2/3 of the way full.
- Pop in freezer until solid, 4 hours or more.

You can use plain or even Greek yogurt to make this even healthier-yogurt is good for healthy skin, digestion, and immunity building.
The probiotics in yogurt help the digestive system to work and can be taken after being sick or on antibiotics to restore your system.
That’s it! Just mash, stir, fill, freeze and serve!
