Making Homemade Pupsicles

Pupsicles for our furry Friends

Pupsicles are refreshing frozen treats for dogs and a great way to keep your furry friend entertained during hot summer days. They are easy to make, customizable, and, best of all, made with safe and healthy ingredients for your dog. So let’s dive into the recipe and get those tails wagging!

Ingredients: 

• 1 ripe banana 
• 1 cup plain yogurt (make sure it does not contain any artificial sweeteners like xylitol, as it can be toxic to dogs) 
• 1/4 cup peanut butter (make sure it does not contain xylitol) 
• 1/4 cup blueberries (you can use other dog-friendly fruits like strawberries or watermelon as well) 
• A handful of dog treats (optional for extra crunch and flavor)  

Instructions: 

1. Mash the ripe banana in a bowl until it becomes a smooth puree. 
2. Add the plain yogurt and peanut butter to the mashed banana. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined. 
3. Gently fold in the blueberries. If you’re using other fruits or dog-friendly ingredients, add them now. 
4. Optional: If you’d like to add a little crunch and extra flavor, crumble a handful of dog treats and mix them into the mixture. 
5. Pour the mixture into popsicle molds or ice cube trays, leaving a little space at the top for expansion. If you don’t have popsicle molds or ice cube trays, use small plastic cups and insert a dog-friendly stick or chew toy as the handle. 
6. Place the molds or trays in the freezer and let them freeze for a few hours or overnight until completely solid. 
7. Once frozen, remove the popsicles from the molds or gently release the ice cubes. 
8. Serve the pupsicles to your dog on a hot day, and watch them enjoy the refreshing treat!  

Tips:

• Always check the ingredients of the yogurt and peanut butter to ensure they do not contain any artificial sweeteners like xylitol, as it can be harmful to dogs. 
• Feel free to customize the recipe using other dog-friendly fruits or ingredients your pup loves. 
• Remember to feed the pupsicles to your dog in moderation, as they are meant to be treats and not a substitute for a balanced diet.
