You are welcome to use bottled lemon juice if that is all that is available to you. I do, from time to time. Using fresh lemons will give your lemonade popsicles that extra pop of lemon flavor.

Absolutely! You are more than welcome to use store-bought lemonade to make lemonade popsicles. Just be sure to shake or stir the lemonade before pouring it into your chosen molds.

While dogs can enjoy certain fruits, it’s important to note that lemonade popsicles may not be the best choice for them. Lemonade typically contains high amounts of sugar and citric acid, which can be harmful to dogs in large quantities. Additionally, the artificial sweeteners often found in commercially made lemonade can be toxic to dogs. It’s best to stick with treats specifically designed for dogs or consult with a veterinarian before giving your dog any human foods or treats.
