4 Simple Frozen Dog Treats Recipes to Keep Your Puppy Healthy
1. Frozen Banana Dog Treats
After a long walk in the hot sun, what pooch wouldn’t want a refreshing treat? We absolutely love this simple recipe – yogurt, banana and peanut butter. It’s a frozen smoothie for your dog. Need we say more?
Ingredients:
- 4 cups plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 3 bananas, ripe, peeled & mashed
Total: Makes approx 8 1 oz treats
Directions:
- Blend all ingredients into a puree.
- Pour into 4-ounce plastic cups (ice trays or toddler popsicle trays work well).
- Freeze until firm.
- Can be kept in the freezer for up to two weeks.
2. Blueberry and Yogurt Frozen Dog Treats
Ingredients:
- A baking mold or ice cube trays. We used the Paw & Dog Bone Molds from Baking Missy ($13.99 for set of 2).
- A 2-cup glass measuring cup or similar
- A blender or food processor
- Unsweetened frozen blueberries
- Unsweetened frozen strawberries
- Plain yogurt (we used non-fat)
- Peanut butter (check ingredients on the label. Look for no sugar and definitely no xylitol, an artificial sweetener that’s poisonous for dogs).
- Water
Directions:
For the first row, let’s start with the plainest mix, so we can use any leftover yogurt mix for the fancier rows.
- Whisk together 4 ounces of yogurt and 4 ounces of water for the base. Add more yogurt and reduce the water if you want a creamier treat with more calories.
- Pour into one row of 5 wells, leaving a generous amount of room for the blueberries.
- Add blueberries to each well until the mold is almost filled (the pupsicle will expand as it freezes, plus it’s nice to have a little extra space to protect from spills).
3. Frosty Peanut Butter Pupsicles
Instructions:
- Put 4 ounces of peanut butter in your liquid measuring cup (eyeballing a big glob is fine).
- Add 3 ounces of water and 2 ounces of yogurt to reach 9 ounces.
- If you have leftover yogurt and water mixture, add that and adjust accordingly.
- Will it blend? Great. If not, add a little more water until you reach a pourable consistency.
- Pour into your second row of wells. If the batter is a little sloppy, you can use a spoon, add more water and blend more, or just clean up the tray afterwards. We won’t tell.
4. Frozen Strawberry Yogurt Dog Treats
Instructions:
- Clean the peanut butter mix out of your blender (or don’t. Will anyone know but you and your dog?)
- A great blender hack is filling the dirty blender halfway up with warm water and soap, and then blending that to get all the residue off before rinsing.
- Add a handful of frozen strawberries to the blender. Aim for 4-6 berries.
- Add 2 ounces of yogurt and 2 ounces of water.
- Blend, adding water if needed to aid the blending process. Go ahead, leave it a little chunky.
- Spoon batter into third set of wells. Watch out for splashing berry chunks!
Frozen homemade dog treats couldn’t be simpler. I hope you have fun making them and your will love them.
