This frozen bark looks like something from a fancy pet bakery but takes about five minutes to throw together. Spread coconut oil and banana on a tray, sprinkle with toppings, freeze, and snap into pieces. It's rich in medium-chain triglycerides from the coconut oil which support brain health and energy, and the banana adds natural sweetness and potassium. Dogs think it's the best thing ever invented.
