If your pup's tail is already wagging at the thought of a frozen dog treat, then they're sure to love cocktails for dogs, officially the most on-trend way to treat you and your canine companion.
Dog food company turned TikToker @Jinx has been sharing some truly drool-worthy recipes over on the platform, ingeniously calling it 'Yappy Hour'.
The Puptails below all feature common ingredients from your kitchen and there's two versions - one for your dog and one for you and your friends so you can each enjoy a cocktail session together. Of course, if you're looking to make up the perfect dog treat for your pooch, it's important to remember that they must only be enjoyed in moderation. Many common fruits and vegetables we regard as healthy actually contain hidden sugars, while some human foods are toxic to dogs.
Dogs can eat watermelon, raspberries and blueberries, but be sure to go seedless, in small quantities and as part of a balanced diet.
