If you are on the hunt for a frozen dog treat you can make this summer, search no more! These dog ice lollies are the perfect treat to give your pup on a hot summer day. The best part about them is they are SO easy to make. The recipes (if you can even call it that) are low ingredient, inexpensive, and your dog will love them.

I have listed four recipes I use all the time with my dogs, but I will also include a list of some other fruits/foods you can use in your frozen pupsicles. These foods are all on the approved list for dogs according to PetMD.com

  • apples
  • mango
  • cucumber
  • strawberries
  • watermelon
  • cranberries
  • honeydew
  • blueberries
  • cantaloupe
  • bananas
  • peaches
  • pineapple
  • pumpkin (puree/no sugar)
  • peanut butter (natural, no xylitol, no added sugars + salt)
  • plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened)

Keep Your Pup Happy, Safe, and Healthy

A healthy pup is a happy pup. Remember, treats should be given in moderation. According to PetMD, less than 10% of your dog’s diet should be treats. The other 90+ percent should be your dog’s regular healthy diet. Please keep in mind, this percentage is for a healthy dog with no prior health concerns.

  • Make sure there is never any XYLITOL in your dog’s peanut butter. This is very toxic for dogs.
  • Make sure to get rid of any seeds in necessary fruits (watermelon, honeydew, apples, etc.)
  • Always do your research before feeding your dog anything. This is your responsibility as a pet parent.

These watermelon pupsicles are the perfect frozen treat to give your dog during the summer (and spring). Since watermelon is made up of 90% water, it is a great hydrating treat. After a hike with my dogs, I love giving these to help cool them down.

peanut butter dog ice lollies

Peanut Butter + Honey Dog Ice Lollies

You’ll be hard-pressed to find a dog that does not enjoy the delicious taste of peanut butter. These pupsicles will have a sticky consistency when they start to melt but they are worth it. A little mess means you are having fun, right?

Ingredients: 

  • Natural Peanut Butter- NO XYLITOL (1/2 cup)
  • Plain Greek Yogurt (2-3 tablespoons)

PRO Tips to Make It More Fun

  1. Keep some pupsicles in the freezer to have on-hand. The silicone molds I use are inexpensive and make the treats oh-so-cute. You can also just use ice trays if you want to go that route.
  2. Use a long dog treat as an edible “popsicle” stick. Do NOT use regular popsicle sticks as they can be a choking hazard but use a dog treat instead.
  3. Try and make some savory options as well. Place some kibble bits into the mixture to add some texture to your pup’s frozen treat.

I hope you find these recipes easy and fun to make. While they are the perfect homemade dog treat for summer, my dogs enjoy them year-round. I hope yours do as well.
