18 Dog Treats
1 ripe banana
½ cup plain unsweetened yogurt (xylitol-free)
2 tablespoons natural peanut butter (unsalted & xylitol-free)
¼ cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
¼ cup finely shredded carrot
½ cup oat flour (or finely blended oats)
Silicone bone-shaped treat mold
In a mixing bowl, mash the banana until smooth.
Add the yogurt and peanut butter, then stir until creamy.
Mix in the oat flour to slightly thicken the mixture.
Gently fold in the blueberries and shredded carrot.
Spoon the mixture into silicone bone-shaped molds.
Tap the mold lightly on the counter to remove air bubbles.
Place the mold in the freezer for 2–3 hours or until fully frozen.
Pop the treats out of the molds and serve to your pup on a hot day.
Store the frozen treats in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag in the freezer. They will stay fresh for up to 2 months. For best texture, take them out just a minute before serving so they soften slightly.
Small dogs: 1 small treat
Medium dogs: 1–2 treats
Large dogs: 2–3 treats
Always serve treats in moderation alongside a balanced diet.
Summer afternoons are always better with a cool treat, and that joy extends to our four-legged companions as well.

Whether shared after a walk, during backyard playtime, or as a reward for being the best companion, these treats make warm days feel extra special.
