🐾 Why are these ingredients good for dogs?

🥣 Lactose-free natural yogurt

Many dogs cannot tolerate lactose because of the milk sugar - so the lactose-free version is ideal. Yoghurt contains good bacteria that support the intestinal flora and contribute to healthy digestion. It also provides calcium and protein, which strengthen bones and muscles.

🍌 Banana

Bananas are a real all-rounder for dogs: they contain potassium, magnesium, vitamin B6 and fiber. These promote heart health, support nerve function and help with digestion. The natural sweetness of the banana makes the ice cream particularly tasty - without any added sugar.

🍓 Raspberries

Raspberries are rich in antioxidants, which can strengthen the immune system and prevent inflammation. They also contain fiber, vitamin C and are low in calories - perfect for a healthy treat.

🫐 Blackberries

Blackberries also score highly with vitamins C, E and K, as well as a good dose of folic acid and manganese. They can help prevent cell damage and promote general health.
