Frozen Dog Treats
Pumpkin Popsicles

As the temperatures are still rising, especially if you live in a southern state, such as Texas, there’s nothing quite like a refreshing popsicle to beat the heat. And guess what? Your furry friend can enjoy the summertime too! These Homemade Dog Pumpkin Popsicles or frozen treats are not only a delicious treat for your pup, but they also come with some incredible health benefits. We’ll delve into why pumpkin is good for dogs and why these chilly delights are a great addition to their diet.


Why Pumpkin is Good for Dogs:

Pumpkin isn’t just a favorite fall flavor for humans; it’s a nutritional powerhouse for dogs too. Rich in fiber, vitamins A, C, and E, as well as potassium, pumpkin offers a range of benefits for your canine companion. The soluble fiber in pumpkin can aid in digestion and regularity, making it a great option for dogs with sensitive stomachs or occasional tummy troubles. Additionally, the natural sugars in pumpkin provide a tasty yet healthy option for pups with a sweet tooth.

Offering them a frozen treat can help cool them down and provide some relief from the heat.

Why Popsicles are Good for Dogs: Popsicles aren’t just a fun treat for humans – they can also be a fantastic option for dogs during warm weather. Popsicles made specifically for dogs are a wonderful way to keep them hydrated and entertained. As dogs can’t regulate their body temperature as efficiently as humans, they’re more susceptible to heat-related issues. Offering them a frozen treat can help cool them down and provide some relief from the heat. Plus, the act of licking and chewing the popsicle can be mentally stimulating and keep your dog occupied.

Choosing your silicone mold. What to know!

In the recipe I wanted to use my silicone mold. It was a tough decision as I have so many choices in my collection. I use a silicone that is safe and is not made with any chemicals. So many of the companies out there today do not disclose what is in their product or how it is made and contain chemicals. The products I use in this post are 100 % free of chemicals. This is where you can purchase this item and many more from. I am affiliated with this brand. sellershop.boncook.com/so/products/380990

Recipe: Dog Pumpkin Popsicles

Ingredients:

1 cup plain yogurt

1 cup pumpkin puree


Directions:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree and plain yogurt. Mix them together until you have a smooth and well-blended mixture.

2. Portion the mixture evenly into a silicone mold or large ice cube tray. This is the perfect time to also add any cute treat on top before freezing. You can find this silicone mold and many more at sellershop.boncook.com/so/products/380990

3. Place the tray in the freezer and allow the popsicles to freeze for approximately 24 hours. (3-4 hours should be enough time if you are in a hurry to serve these to your furbaby). The 24 hours ensures that they’re frozen completely and ready for your pup to enjoy.

4. Once the popsicles are frozen, gently pop them out of the silicone mold. You can transfer them into a freezer bag for convenient storage. Alternatively, if you have enough freezer space, you can leave them in the tray.
