2-Ingredient Frozen Pumpkin Dog Treats [Recipe]

Got half a can of pureed pumpkin in the fridge after making a recipe? Wondering what to do with the leftovers? This sublimely simple dog treat recipe will keep for months in the freezer and make your dog so very happy every time you surprise her with a crunchy frozen bite.

Pumpkin is a fantastic treat for dogs. The high fiber content helps soothe digestive issues (both the too-liquid and too-solid kinds) plus the rich fatty acids, beta carotene, and antioxidants can improve your dog’s coat and overall health.

Frozen Pumpkin Treats for Dogs

No time to freeze? Just add a little water (warm or cold) to thin out the batter and serve it in a bowl as a “pupkin spiced latte.” Jazz it up with a dollop of coconut  whipped cream for an extra-special treat.

  • Nonfat plain yogurt

This is a very forgiving recipe! Just mix equal parts pumpkin and yogurt, or adjust according to what you have on hand.

Instructions

Clear a flat space in your freezer for your treats to set

Place your silicone mold onto a small cookie sheet to make it easy to move from counter to freezer

In a small bowl, add equal parts pumpkin puree and yogurt

Stir to combine

Top tip: Add water if want to stretch your batter

Pour into molds and place in freezer until solid

Un-mold the treats and place in a Tupperware or plastic bag for long-term storage

Safety tips

Lactose intolerance in dogs can be very mild or severe, and though it’s not all that common, keep an eye out. If you’ve never fed your dog milk or yogurt before, caution is best.

If your dog begins showing signs that they’re having an allergic reaction, which would include itching and red skin, stop feeding them dairy. A consultation with your vet may also be in order.

Most dogs are perfectly fine after eating some dairy. Do make sure to avoid giving your dog sweetened dairy products, especially anything with artificial sweeteners. We like plain yogurt for dogs in particular, which seems to go down easy.

Tasting notes

Bea says these frozen treats are crunch-a-licious!
