These Yogurt Dog Treats are a healthy, refreshing snack for your canine friend, made with fresh strawberries, blueberries, and plain Greek yogurt. They are easy to prepare, freezer-friendly, and perfect for keeping your dog cool on warm days.

  • Total Time: 4 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: About 12-15 treats depending on mold size

Ingredients

Fruits

  • 8 medium size fresh strawberries (about 300 grams)
  • ¾ cup small fresh blueberries (about 115 grams)

Dairy

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (about 240 grams)

Equipment

  • Bone or paw shaped silicone freezer proof molds

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberries: Begin by preparing the strawberries that will form the base of your delightful Yogurt Dog Treats. First, remove the tops of the strawberries and cut out the white center to ensure only the best parts are used for your dog.
  2. Fill the Molds: Add between 3 to 5 pieces of diced strawberries into the bottom of each silicone mold. Follow this by placing 3 to 4 small blueberries on top of the strawberries for a burst of flavor and nutrition in each treat.
  3. Remove Air Bubbles: After filling the molds with the yogurt and fruit, gently jiggle or tap the molds on the counter. This action helps to remove any trapped air bubbles within the mixture, ensuring your treats freeze solidly and have a consistent texture.
  4. Clean Up the Molds: Use an offset spatula or a spoon to scrape away any excess yogurt that spills over the edges of the molds, giving your frozen treats a clean and polished appearance.
  5. Freeze the Treats: Place the filled molds in the freezer. Leave them for about 4 hours or until the treats are fully frozen solid, making them perfect for a cool treat.
  6. Release and Store: To remove the treats, briefly run the bottom of the molds under warm water for a few seconds to loosen them. Store the frozen treats in an airtight container in the freezer until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Be sure to wash and dry the fruits thoroughly to avoid excess moisture that could dilute the yogurt.
  • Experiment with different fruit combinations like raspberries or banana for varied flavor experiences.
  • Ensure that all ingredients are dog-safe and free from added sugars or toxic substances.
  • Use plain Greek yogurt without artificial sweeteners or xylitol, as these can be harmful to dogs.
  • Serve these treats in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
