FAQs
What can I fill the Pupsicle mould with?
You can fill it with plain water, diluted, unsweetened dog-safe broths, or small amounts of unsweetened, plain yogurt. Always ensure ingredients are safe for your dog.
How long does it take to freeze?
Freezing time typically takes 4-6 hours, depending on your freezer's temperature and the amount of liquid used.
Is the silicone material safe for dogs?
Yes, the mould is made from food-grade, heat-resistant, and inert silicone, which is non-toxic and safe for dogs.
How do I clean the mould?
You can wash it by hand with warm, soapy water or place it on the top rack of your dishwasher.
Will this make a mess?
The design is intended to minimize drips and spills as the treat melts, making it much cleaner than a standard ice cube or frozen bowl.
Can I use this for puppies?
Yes, it is suitable for puppies, provided they are supervised and the ingredients used are appropriate for their age and dietary needs.
What is the benefit of frozen treats for dogs?
Frozen treats help keep dogs cool, encourage hydration, provide mental stimulation, and can help soothe teething puppies or anxious dogs through the repetitive licking action.
Troubleshooting
Treat is difficult to remove from the mould.
Ensure the mould is completely frozen. If still difficult, run the outside of the mould under lukewarm water for a few seconds to slightly loosen the ice.
The two halves of the mould are not sealing properly.
Check for any debris or ice crystals around the edges where the two halves connect. Ensure they are pressed together firmly and evenly.
Dog is trying to chew the mould instead of licking the treat.
Supervise your dog during use, especially if they are known chewers. This product is designed for licking, not chewing. Remove if the dog attempts to bite or ingest the silicone.
Mould is not freezing solid.
Ensure your freezer temperature is set appropriately. Confirm the mould is placed on a level surface in the freezer to allow for even freezing.
