18 Dog Treats
1 cup plain unsweetened yogurt (no xylitol, no added sugar)
½ cup cucumber, finely grated or blended
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
Wash and peel the cucumber, then grate or blend until smooth.
In a medium bowl, combine yogurt, cucumber, parsley, and melted coconut oil.
Stir until fully mixed and creamy.
Spoon the mixture into silicone bone-shaped molds or ice cube trays.
Place molds in the freezer for 3–4 hours, or until completely solid.
Pop out the treats and store for later use.
Store the frozen treats in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag in the freezer for up to 2 months. For short-term storage, they can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, though freezing helps maintain their shape and freshness best.
Small dogs: 1 treat per day
Medium dogs: 1–2 treats per day
Large dogs: 2–3 treats per day
Always adjust based on your dog’s size, activity level, and dietary needs.
The first time these treats came out of the freezer, curious eyes followed every move. A soft nose leaned in, and a tentative lick turned into eager excitement. There was no hesitation—just a happy tail wagging faster with every bite. Since then, these little frozen bones have become a favorite reward after walks, playtime, or simply because it’s a good day. The joy is in the simplicity: knowing exactly what’s inside and watching genuine happiness unfold with each crunchy, chilly nibble. Some recipes just become part of your routine, and this one earned its place quickly.
