Frozen Dog Treat Recipes With Yogurt

“Frozen yogurt treats can be an excellent summer snack for dogs — provided you use plain, unsweetened yogurt without xylitol. The probiotics support digestion, and the cold temperature can help cool them down after activity. Just keep portions small to avoid excess calories.”
— Sarah from Pupmemorial
Why Frozen Yogurt Treats Are a Summer Lifesaver
It’s not just about cooling down — it’s about creating moments.
On warm afternoons, I’ve learned that nothing gets Ben to sprint into the kitchen faster than the sound of the freezer drawer sliding open. He doesn’t know what “probiotics” or “calcium” mean, but he does know the joy of that cold, creamy first bite.
“Dogs may forget the recipe,
but they never forget the feeling.”
These frozen yogurt treats are a quick, healthy way to keep your pup refreshed, hydrated, and smiling all season long.
