When I first gave Cillian a little spoonful of yogurt, he tilted his head, gave me that “are you sure this is for me?” look, and then happily licked the bowl clean. From that moment, yogurt became our secret snack weapon.
It’s creamy, packed with probiotics for gut health, and it makes homemade dog treats taste like a pup’s dream dessert. The best part? You don’t need to be a chef — these recipes are quick, wholesome, and so much cheaper than store-bought.

💡 If treats lose their freshness or develop mold, discard immediately — even if they still “look fine.”
Swap blueberries for strawberries or diced apple.
Use goat’s milk yogurt for sensitive stomachs.
Add shredded carrots for extra fiber.
Mix in a pinch of cinnamon (safe in small amounts).
Homemade yogurt dog treats are more than snacks — they’re little moments of love. Watching Cillian lick the last bit off his nose reminds me why I choose homemade over store-bought: fresher, healthier, and made with heart.
