FAQs
How do I fill the Pupsicle mould?
Simply open the mould and pour your chosen liquid (water or dog-safe liquid) into the designated fill area. Avoid overfilling to allow for expansion during freezing.
What kind of liquids can I freeze in the moulds?
You can use plain water. For added interest, you can use unsalted, unsweetened, dog-safe bone broth or water mixed with a small amount of dog-safe fruit or vegetable puree. Always ensure the liquid is safe for canine consumption.
How long does it take for the treats to freeze?
Freezing time varies depending on your freezer's temperature and the amount of liquid used. Typically, it takes several hours (4-6 hours or overnight) for the liquid to freeze solid.
Are these moulds suitable for large dogs?
The moulds are approximately 8 x 18 x 7cm, designed for small to medium-sized dogs. Larger dogs may consume the treat more quickly due to their size and chewing habits.
How do I clean the Pupsicle moulds?
The moulds can be washed with warm, soapy water and a soft brush or sponge. They are also top-rack dishwasher safe for convenient cleaning.
What are the dimensions of each mould?
Each Pupsicle mould measures approximately H:6.9 x W:18.1 x D:8 cm.
Can I use other ingredients besides liquids?
The moulds are designed for liquids. While small amounts of purees can be mixed in, avoid adding solid food items, as they may not freeze properly or could compromise the mould's integrity.
Troubleshooting
Frozen treat is difficult to remove from the mould.
Run the outside of the mould under warm water for a few seconds. Avoid using hot water, as it could melt the treat too much. Ensure the treat is fully frozen before attempting removal.
Moulds are not freezing the liquid properly.
Ensure the freezer temperature is set correctly and that the moulds are placed on a level surface in the freezer to allow for even freezing.
Dog is not interested in the frozen treat.
Try different flavourings (ensure they are dog-safe) or offer the treat during times your dog is most likely to be warm or seeking enrichment, such as after exercise or during hot weather.
Mould appears to be damaged or torn.
Inspect the mould for any tears or damage. If damaged, discontinue use to ensure your dog's safety and replace the mould.
