This Mini Dachshund's 'Pawgarita' Recipe Is Going Straight to the Top of Our List
The summer season is just around the corner, and it's time to celebrate. Unfortunately for dogs, there are quite a few things they can't enjoy this season, though, because delicious summer staples like grapes and raisins are very toxic to dogs.
Thankfully, there are a few ways to include your furry friend in the summer activities with dog-friendly food they'll enjoy. With the help of YouTube's Indy the mini dachshund, this pup shows that any pet parent can give their dog the taste of a tropical vacation right at home.

For the summer, this mini dachshund is showing the internet how to make the perfect "pawgarita," a dog-friendly margarita that they're bound to love.
According to Indy's recipe, all you need to do is blend cucumbers, plain nonfat Greek yogurt and water. Prepare the glass by dipping the rim in plain nonfat Greek yogurt, then in crushed dog treats to create a stronger "salt on the rim" effect. Add some ice, fill your dog's cup with their pawgerita mix, and they're all set. With this recipe, you and your pup can enjoy a fresh drink in the summer sun.
In the comments, users couldn't get enough of the fun recipe (or Indy's impeccable style). "I think it's just good thinking to wear a head scarf when drinking," added one user. Another commenter added, "She looks so adorable and happy."
Besides the iconic choice of a head scarf (to protect those dachshund ears), this recipe is a fun way for your furry friend to enjoy the summer as well.

Dog-Friendly Summer Foods Your Pup Can Enjoy
While a pawgarita is a must for the season, there are a handful of other foods your dog can enjoy this upcoming summer. Like any special treat, it's important to only give your pup small portions to avoid a stomachache later.
For a hydrating snack, offer small chunks of seedless watermelon or a few antioxidant-rich blueberries. Fruits like peaches and nectarines are also safe, but all pits must be removed as they contain cyanide and pose a choking hazard. If you want to indulge your pup with a frozen treat, look for dog-specific options, such as ice cream designed specifically for canine consumption. Remember to always introduce new human foods in small portions to ensure they agree with your dog's tummy.
