7 Frozen Treats Your Dog Will Love

When the temperatures rise, nothing feels better than a cool treat, and our dogs agree! Frozen snacks aren’t just fun, they’re a great way to keep your Companion refreshed and hydrated on hot days. The best part? They’re easy to make at home with wholesome ingredients.

Here are 7 clever, dog-friendly frozen ideas your pup will love:

1. Broth Popsicles 🍗

Make a simple homemade dog-safe broth (just simmer plain chicken, beef, or turkey in water, no onion, garlic, or added salt). Pour into ice cube trays or silicone molds, freeze overnight, and serve for a savory, hydrating treat.

2. Frozen Carrot Sticks  🥕

Wash, peel (optional), and freeze whole carrots or chunks. This recipe is perfect for teething puppies or any dog who loves a refreshing crunch.

3. Yogurt & Berry Bites 🫐🍦

Mix plain, unsweetened yogurt with blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries. Spoon into an ice cube tray, freeze, and serve creamy, antioxidant-packed snacks. For a quick option, you can serve a few frozen berries without the yougurt.

4. Peanut Butter Banana Cubes  🍌🥜

Blend a ripe banana with a spoonful of xylitol-free peanut butter. Pour into molds, freeze, and watch your pup go bananas for this protein-rich combo.

5. Apple Ice Chips  🍏

Chop fresh apple slices (seeds and core removed), drop them into an ice cube tray, fill with water, and freeze. A hydrating, crunchy, naturally sweet treat. (You can also air fry if your dog likes a good crunch or freeze-dry them for a longer shelf life.)

6. Watermelon Slushies 🍉

Blend seedless watermelon with a splash of water, pour into molds, and freeze. Light, refreshing, and vitamin-rich, a perfect summer delight.

7. Layered “Doggie Parfaits” (Pup Parfaits) 🍦

Alternate plain yogurt, pumpkin purée, and mashed banana in silicone molds, then freeze. A layered treat that looks as good as it tastes! 

🐾 Tips for Frozen Dog Treats

• Always use dog-safe ingredients (no xylitol, grapes, raisins, onions, garlic, or artificial sweeteners).

• Start with small portions, especially for pups with sensitive tummies.

• Smaller molds = easier portioning for little dogs.

• Enjoy watching your Companion stay cool, happy, and hydrated!
