• 1 cup cooked and mashed sweet potato

• ½ cup plain unsweetened yogurt (dog-safe, no xylitol)

• 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter (xylitol-free)

• ¼ cup water (adjust for smoother texture)

Optional:

• 1 tablespoon finely chopped carrots

• 1 tablespoon oat flour for a thicker mixture

1. Cook the sweet potato if it isn’t already prepared. Bake or steam until soft, then mash until smooth.

2. Add ingredients to a bowl: mashed sweet potato, yogurt, peanut butter, and water.

3. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is creamy and smooth.

4. Pour or spoon the mixture into bone-shaped silicone molds or ice cube trays.

5. Freeze for 3–4 hours or until completely solid.

6. Pop the treats out of the molds and serve one to your pup as a refreshing snack.

• Store frozen treats in an airtight freezer container or freezer bag.

• They will stay fresh in the freezer for up to 2 months.

• If stacking, place parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.

• Always serve directly from the freezer for the best cooling effect.

• Small dogs (under 20 lbs): ½–1 small treat

• Medium dogs (20–50 lbs): 1–2 treats

• Large dogs (50+ lbs): 2–3 treats

Treats should make up no more than 10% of your dog’s daily diet.
