Meet Milkshake the pink pug
A pink pug? That’s right.

Milkshake is an adorable and unique pug with blue eyes and a pink nose. Dog mom Maria De Dozsa met Milkshake when he was only 6 weeks old and instantly felt a connection. Plus, she said, “his coloring matches his sweet personality as well.”

So where does Milkshake’s pink hue come from? Due to a genetic mutation called Leucism, Milkshake has a lack of pigmentation, but is otherwise a perfectly healthy pup.

Now at age 3, Milkshake is a popular internet pup with over 100,000 followers. Let’s face it, this sweet pug is so cute we could eat him up.

Looking for a new dog-friendly sweet treat? Made with coconut oil, these homemade treats are great for your dog’s skin and coat.

Plus, you can store them in the freezer until you’re ready to use them up, so they’re basically dog ice cream.

Make your own frozen blueberry coconut oil dog treats:

  • What you’ll need: coconut oil, frozen blueberries, and a small silicone heart mold.

  • Place a blueberry into each mold.

  • Heat the coconut oil in a small saucepan until it liquifies.

  • Allow the coconut oil to cool down for a couple minutes, then pour it carefully into the molds.

  • Place the molds in the freezer to solidify.

  • Pop your treats out of the molds.

  • Give one to your dog and store the rest in the freezer!
