• 1 can sardines in water (no salt added)

• ½ cup plain unsweetened yogurt

• ½ banana (optional, for natural sweetness)

• 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed (optional for added omega-3s)

• Silicone bone-shaped treat mold

1. Prepare the mixture
   Add sardines, yogurt, banana, and flaxseed to a blender or food processor.

2. Blend until smooth
   Blend the mixture until it forms a creamy, slightly thick consistency.

3. Fill the molds
   Spoon or pour the mixture into bone-shaped silicone molds.

4. Freeze the treats
   Place the molds in the freezer for 2–3 hours or until fully solid.

5. Remove and serve
   Pop the frozen treats out of the molds and serve as a refreshing snack.

Store frozen sardine treats in an airtight freezer-safe container or sealed bag.

Storage tips:

• Keep in the freezer for up to 2 months.

• Separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

• Always return unused treats to the freezer quickly so they stay solid.

• Small dogs (under 20 lbs): 1 small treat

• Medium dogs (20–50 lbs): 1–2 treats

• Large dogs (50+ lbs): 2–3 treats

Serve as an occasional snack rather than a full meal replacement.
