Sometimes, all you want is something quick, healthy, and guaranteed to make your dog’s tail wag .

That’s why I love simple frozen dog treat recipes. They’re minimal-ingredient , no-bake , and full of goodness . Even better? You can prep them in minutes, let the freezer do the work, and have a stash ready whenever your pup needs a snack.

Ben knows the sound of the freezer drawer — and to him, it’s the sweetest sound in the world.

From Sarah’s Perspective

“I’m not a vet — just a dog mom who’s been making frozen treats for years. I started because store-bought snacks were expensive and full of fillers. Now, I keep a freezer drawer just for Ben’s treats, and it’s honestly one of the easiest ways to keep him happy and healthy. Plus, it makes me feel good knowing exactly what’s in every bite.”
— Sarah, Proud Dog Mom & Treat Maker
