Your dog is going to be begging for all of these strawberry dog treats this summer! Sweet and delicious, strawberries are a great summertime snack for dogs and can be incorporated into the treats you make them.

By feeding your dog strawberries, you're giving them a low calorie snack (great for that summer bod!) and giving them antioxidants, fiber, and vitamin C. The AKC also says that fresh fruit may help slow down the aging process, whiten their teeth, strengthen the immune system, and help with weight management.

Check out a few great strawberry recipes to make this summer!
