There's something quietly joyful about watching your dog discover a homemade frozen treat on a warm afternoon. Lana waits by the freezer like it's her job, and honestly, who could blame her. These little paw-shaped bites are our most-loved summer recipe: three ingredients, no sugar, no fuss.
What you'll need
- 1 cup plain unsweetened yogurt (Greek works beautifully)
- ½ cup fresh berries, blueberries, strawberries or a mix
- A handful of small dog biscuits for topping (optional but cute)

Can dogs eat frozen yogurt treats?
Yes, plain unsweetened yogurt is safe for most dogs in moderation. Always check it is xylitol-free, as xylitol is toxic to dogs. Greek yogurt works beautifully and is lower in lactose, making it gentler for sensitive tummies.
How long do homemade frozen dog treats last?
Up to 2 weeks in an airtight container in the freezer. After that the texture can deteriorate. We make a fresh batch every week or two, it takes five minutes so it's no effort at all.
What fruits are safe for frozen dog treats?
Blueberries, strawberries, banana and seedless watermelon are all safe and popular. Avoid grapes, raisins, cherries and citrus fruits, these can be harmful to dogs.
♡ A little tip
Plain yogurt is naturally gentle on most dogs' tummies, but every pup is different. Stick to 1–2 treats at a time, not the whole plate, no matter how convincingly they ask. For sensitive stomachs, try a goat's-milk yogurt or a lactose-free option.
