It all started with my sweet girl, Nala. Last summer, during a brutal heatwave, I noticed she was panting more than usual and refused to eat her regular treats. I wanted to give her something cooling and nourishing—without any added junk. After browsing some ideas like these 7 Frozen Dog Treats with Ice Cube Trays and Yogurt , I crafted my own version using just banana, pumpkin, and a dash of yogurt. The tail wags haven’t stopped since.

This simple combo is both dog-safe and delicious:

• 1 ripe banana, mashed

• 1/2 cup plain pumpkin purée (unsweetened)

• 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (xylitol-free)

Optional add-ins:

• 1 tsp coconut oil (healthy fats)

• Sprinkle of ground cinnamon (if your dog tolerates it)

Making these treats turned into our little ritual. Nala watches intently from the kitchen doorway, her nose twitching with every stir. By the time I open the freezer a few hours later, she’s sitting at attention, tail sweeping the floor. Recipes like this help me feel more connected to her, just like Soft Baked Pumpkin Oat Bites once did.
