Looking for a fun way to help your pup cool off this summer? These adorable paw and bone-shaped pupsicles are packed with wholesome, dog-friendly ingredients and are as cute as they are refreshing. Made with plain Greek yogurt, fresh berries, and natural peanut butter, they're full of protein, antioxidants, and healthy fats. Best of all, they're incredibly easy to make and can be stored in the freezer for whenever your four-legged friend deserves a special treat.
Ingredients
Pink Berry Layer
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened, xylitol-free)
- ½ cup strawberries
- ¼ cup raspberries
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
- Splash of water if needed for blending
Peanut Butter Layer
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter (make sure it contains no xylitol)
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin puree (optional for extra fiber)
Instructions
- Wash the strawberries and raspberries thoroughly. Blend them together with one cup of Greek yogurt until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add a tablespoon of water. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine the remaining Greek yogurt with the peanut butter and pumpkin puree. Stir until completely smooth and creamy.
- Place your silicone molds on a baking sheet or cutting board so they're easy to move into the freezer. Paw print and dog bone molds work perfectly for this recipe and create an adorable finished treat.
- Spoon the berry mixture into some of the molds and the peanut butter mixture into the others. For a marbled effect, add a spoonful of each mixture to every mold and gently swirl with a toothpick.
- Tap the molds lightly on the counter to remove any air bubbles and smooth the tops with a spatula.
- Freeze for at least 4 to 6 hours, or overnight until completely firm.
- Once frozen, pop the treats out of the molds and store them in a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag for up to three months.
Recommended Mold Shapes
For the same adorable look as the photo, use:
- Large paw print silicone molds
- Small dog bone silicone molds
- Mini paw molds for bite-sized treats
- Heart-shaped molds for special occasions
These molds are widely available online or at most craft, baking, and pet supply stores.
Helpful Tips
- Always use plain, unsweetened yogurt.
- Double-check that your peanut butter is 100% xylitol-free, as xylitol is extremely toxic to dogs.
- Freeze in smaller molds for puppies or small breeds.
- Serve one pupsicle at a time as an occasional treat, and always supervise your dog while they enjoy it.
These frozen treats are the perfect way to keep tails wagging on hot summer days while giving your pup a healthy, homemade snack they'll love.
