How to Use Fruitables Spreads

What makes Spreads such a desirable new addition to our line-up? More than anything, it’s their versatility. Our spreads can be frozen for a longer-lasting lick mat, baked into bite-sized snackaroos or even help medicine masquerade as a delicious surprise.

  • Frozen Treats: during the dog days of summer, nothing satisfies like a frozen treat. Dog treats are no exception! Refresh your pup by freezing any flavor of Fruitables Spreads into your favorite shape or popsicle mold.
  • Lick Mats: when paired with a lick mat, Fruitables Spreads can also help reorient your dog’s response to terrifying stimuli. Thunder, postal workers and the vacuum cleaner suddenly don’t seem so scary with something simultaneously delicious to lick on. In a similar fashion, you can use spreads with a toy or lick mat to keep your furry plus-one busy, calm and collected at social outings.
  • Homemade Dog Treats: use Spreads as a base to your favorite dog treat recipes! Spreads can be baked into amazing cookies for dogs! See below for baking instructions.
  • Medicine: can't seem to get your dog to take its medicine? Make it go down a little easier by covering it in something creamy... tasty... yummy... how about Fruitables Spreads?
