Frozen Blueberry Dog Treats

A no-bake summer treat that takes five minutes of work. Because these contain dairy, keep portions small — many adult dogs do not digest lactose well.

Frozen Blueberry Dog Treats

Makes About 12 small moulds · 4 hours 5 minutes total

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (about 150 g) fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 cup plain unsweetened yoghurt, no xylitol or added sweeteners
  • 2-3 tablespoons water

Instructions

  1. 1Rinse fresh blueberries, or measure out frozen ones.
  2. 2Blend the blueberries with the water until smooth, or mash them by hand for a chunkier texture.
  3. 3Stir the blueberry mixture into the plain yoghurt.
  4. 4Spoon into small silicone moulds or an ice cube tray.
  5. 5Freeze for at least 4 hours until solid.
  6. 6Pop out one small portion at a time and serve outdoors or on an easy-clean surface.

Storage

  • Keep them frozen at −18 °C (0 °F) or below in a sealed container or bag, and make small batches so they are used while fresh.
  • Untouched portions that thawed in the fridge and stayed refrigerated can be refrozen, according to USDA guidance — texture may change, especially with yoghurt and fruit purée.
  • Do not refreeze anything that has been above fridge temperature for more than 2 hours, or more than 1 hour above 32 °C (90 °F) — discard it instead.
  • Treats that have already been served, licked or carried around go in the bin, never back into the freezer with the stored batch.

Serving considerations

  • Serve one small piece at a time — frozen treats are hard, so choose a size your dog cannot swallow whole.
  • Skip this recipe if your dog reacts poorly to dairy; a water-and-blueberry version works without yoghurt.
  • Check that your yoghurt contains no xylitol, added sugar or artificial sweeteners.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Blend blueberries with water only and freeze. This suits dogs that do not tolerate dairy.

Very hard frozen items can be uncomfortable for some dogs. Keep pieces small and let them soften slightly if your dog has dental sensitivity.

In tiny amounts, if your vet is happy with dairy in your puppy's diet. Mash rather than freeze solid for very small puppies.
