Homemade frozen dog treats- sounds complicated, right? It’s not.
Making your own homemade treats are not hard to do, and making the frozen variety is even easier!
As I have mentioned before, with some of the dog food recalls that happened recently, I got a bit nervous about the diets of my two fur-babies.
I have found that not only do dogs seem to really like homemade treats (mine inhale them!) but that they can also be much healthier than commercial brand dog treats.

#1 Peanut-Butter Banana Pupsicles
All dogs love peanut butter!
These cool, refreshing treats are super simple to make with only three ingredients: banana, yogurt, and peanut butter and are perfect for hot summer days.
If you have an ice cube tray, a freezer, and two hours to spare, your pup could be munching these down in no time.
Remember to use all natural or organic peanut butter as regular contains an ingredient that can be toxic to dogs – (Xylitol).

#2 Frozen Apple Dog Treats
This super simple recipe only requires apples, greek yogurt, and water. That’s it. Your pup will think you are a gourmet chef.
He is going to go crazy over these healthy little treats.
If you use a conventional ice cube tray the recipe should make about 16 treats.
Always be sure to remove the core and all of the seeds!
These are the perfect alternative for pups with food allergies so long as they are not allergic to apples, of course.

#3 Frosty Watermelon Dog Treats
Being that watermelon is made up of 92% water, these are not only yummy, but they can also help rehydrate your pup on a hot day.
They are also chock full of nutrients, hello Vitamin C!
It is very important to remove ALL of the seeds, as they can possibly cause an intestinal blockage.
It may be easier to buy the seedless variety.
The recipe calls for milk or coconut water.
For the reasons mentioned above, coconut water may be a bit more beneficial.

#4 Tooty Fruity Frozen Dog Treats
With five, yes five, different fruits, Fido is going to paw-sitively love these!
The mix of mango, banana, strawberries (and more!) provide large amounts of fiber and antioxidants.
They taste great with a powerhouse of nutrients.
So, while Fido thinks he is getting a super sweet treat, it’s healthy for him too!

#6 Frozen Pup Pops
Aside from being positively adorable, these pup pops are a favorite of my four-legged friends.
The peanut butter and bananas are a perfect combo (Elvis, anyone?), and the banana is really healthy for your pup.
Low in sodium, fat, and cholesterol but rich in fiber and vitamin c, this is a well-rounded, incredibly healthy, puppy snack.
This should be an occasional treat, however, as bananas while good for your pooch, contain quite a bit of sugar.
Everything in moderation!
From: StayingCloseToHome.com
#7 Homemade Frosty Paws
Just as wholesome and delicious as the store-bought brand and inexpensive to make.
This way you know exactly what ingredients are going into your pup’s tummy.
These are super versatile too! You can do a peanut butter banana blend or use an assortment of fruit.
These are so healthy (and yummy!) that they are safe enough for even your human children to eat if Fido doesn’t mind sharing, that is.

#8 Barking Delicious Blueberry Drops
Depending on the preference of your dog, these can be made with either bananas or honey.
The blueberries can be substituted for another fruit as well.
We have already talked about the benefits of banana and the fact that it is high in sugar.
Honey is relatively healthy for your pet as well.
Honey also has elevated sugar content so raw honey should not be fed to dogs with diabetes or those that are already overweight.
#9 Pawfect Puppy Pudding Pops
(say that 5 times fast..)
These are doggone cute! Using only three ingredients make these really easy to make and they are made with real ingredients (none of that stuff we can’t pronounce) so it is safe enough for the two-legged kids in your life.
My daughter fights the slobber twins for these pudding pops!
Do not forget to use sugar-free peanut butter and that it does not contain xylitol!

#10 Banana Blueberry Canine Cubes
These cool ice cubes (see what I did there?) are a fabulous way to use up those overripe bananas you have laying around.
Mashed banana and a handful of blueberries in an ice cube tray, I mean, how simple is that?
As always be sure to remove the banana skin, they aren’t necessarily toxic but can cause digestive issues.
These are a great snack for both you, and your pup.

Pumpkin can be beneficial as it is filled with fiber and beta-carotene and can be useful in treating urinary incontinence.
Remember to use the canned pumpkin and not pie filling!

#12 Savory Chicken-PB-Parsley Tasty Tidbits
These are great.
It may seem like an odd combination to us but your pup is going to adore these delectable doggy snacks!
The chicken broth/stock is going to be the most popular ingredient for your up, however, please use one that does not contain onion as it can be toxic to dogs, typically in large amounts but better safe than sorry.
The parsley can be left out but it does freshen doggy breath so you may want to include it.
From: LolaThePitty.com
#13 Frozen Puppycakes
What I really like about these is the addition of the almond milk.
This is especially great for our lactose intolerant furballs but, yep there’s that big but again, almond milk is about 100 calories a cup and may have added sugar.
They can have it, although it is best to keep it at minimal amounts.
Regardless, your pooch is going to love these cool, yummy treats.

#14 Peanut Butter Jam Freezies
Mimicking a favored childhood snack, these protein-packed treats offer that delicious blend of peanut-buttery goodness with sweet and juicy strawberries.
While bursting with fiber and Omega3, strawberries, like most fruit, does contain sugar and as we said too much sugar is no good.
Don’t forget to use all-natural peanut butter!
From: IrresisTiblePets.net
#15 Hawaiian Luau Tiki Dog Treats
Now, usually I would say to just use any old ice tray but the Hawaiian themed are so unbelievably cute!
These are the classic snacks with a tropical twist. Blender, pour and pop into the freezer for a couple of hours, it could not be easier.
Peanut butter and bananas are two flavors your pup just won’t be able to turn his snout up at.

#16 Yogurt Watermelon Ice Treats
Any kind of cool treat is great on a hot day, but as we’ve said before, watermelon is even more beneficial due to being made up of mostly water.
The yogurt makes a nice, creamy, blend with the strawberries.
These are honestly good enough for us to eat.
If Fido has any kind of dairy allergy, you have the option of dairy-free yogurt, or even omit it altogether.

With yet another twist on Fido’s favorite flavors, these PB Banana Frozen Woofies make a wholesome but doglicious chilly treat.

Pumpkin for our pumpkins.
My boys simply drool over these, and for good reason, too.

Great minds sure do think alike.
This is just a wonderful combination.
Banana and peanut butter are the only ingredients so it is unbelievably simple but tastes like heaven to your pooch.

Beef liver. I know that it does not seem all that appetizing to us, but dogs love it.

#36 Bone Broth-Sicles
Bone broth is incredibly healthy for our furry loves.
It promotes a healthy gut and is also great for your dogs’ joints because it provides an ample amount of glucosamine (many dogs take the supplemental variety but these work too!).
The flavor we leave up to you depending on Fido’s preference, chicken, or beef would work quite well.

These are one homemade treat you will definitely want to make for your favorite pooch.
