These pupsicles are perfect for cooling him down after a walk, giving him a little reward, or just showing him some extra love.
And honestly, seeing the joy in his little tail-wags and happy licks makes the whole process so worth it.
Why I Love Making Homemade Pupsicles
There’s something really satisfying about making treats for my dog myself.
I know exactly what’s going into them, and it feels good knowing he’s getting something wholesome and safe.
Plus, homemade pupsicles are so easy to customize—I can experiment with flavors he loves without worrying about artificial additives or hidden sugar.
I also love that these frozen treats are so versatile. Some days he wants something creamy, some days fruity, and some days a savory bite hits the spot.
With just two ingredients, I can whip up a batch for any mood, and they’re ready in minutes.
It’s like having a little bag of happiness in the freezer, always at the ready for a quick treat or a cool snack after outdoor play.
Another thing I appreciate? Watching him enjoy them. The way he licks, crunches, and sometimes even tries to get two at once is just priceless.
Those little moments remind me that treats don’t need to be complicated—they just need to be made with a bit of thought and care.
1. Peanut Butter & Yogurt Pupsicles (The Classic Favorite)
This is the recipe I make most often, and honestly, it’s a guaranteed hit every time. My dog can’t get enough of it!
Ingredients:
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened)
- ½ cup natural peanut butter (make sure it’s xylitol-free!)
How I Make It:
- I start by scooping the peanut butter into a small bowl.
- Then I add the Greek yogurt and stir until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. I love how easy it is to get a perfect consistency—no lumps, no mess.
- Next, I spoon the mixture into silicone molds. Ice cube trays work perfectly too if you don’t have molds.
- Pop them in the freezer for a few hours—or overnight if I’m prepping in advance.
2. Banana & Yogurt Pupsicles (Sweet and Refreshing)
This is one of my favorite variations when I want something a little lighter and naturally sweet. My dog goes absolutely crazy for it, especially on hot days after a quick backyard play session.
Ingredients:
- 1 ripe banana
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened)
How I Make It:
- I start by mashing the banana with a fork until it’s smooth and creamy. I like leaving just a few tiny chunks—it adds a fun texture for him to lick and nibble.
- Next, I stir the mashed banana into the yogurt until it’s fully combined. The mixture turns into this lovely, creamy yellow blend that smells amazing.
- I spoon it into silicone molds (or ice cube trays) and smooth the tops with a little spatula.
- Freeze for a few hours until firm.
3. Chicken Broth & Blueberry Pupsicles (Savory & Surprising)
This one might sound a little unexpected at first, but it’s actually a huge hit. My dog went from sniffing it cautiously to devouring it like it was the best thing ever.
Ingredients:
- ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth (dog-safe)
- ¼ cup fresh or frozen blueberries
How I Make It:
- I place a few blueberries into each mold first. I like how they create little pockets of flavor that my dog gets to discover while licking.
- Pour the chicken broth over the blueberries, filling the molds almost to the top.
- Pop the molds into the freezer for a few hours until fully frozen.
Tips & Tricks for Making Pupsicles
Over time, I’ve learned a few little things that make making pupsicles even easier—and more enjoyable for both me and my dog:
- Check for xylitol: Always double-check peanut butter or any other ingredient. Xylitol is toxic to dogs, so make sure everything is dog-safe.
- Use silicone molds: These make popping the pupsicles out a breeze. Ice cube trays work just as well if you don’t have molds.
- Small portions for small dogs: If you have a tiny pup, cut the portions smaller. It keeps treats manageable and prevents a sugar or snack overload.
- Freeze in batches: I usually make a few batches at once and store them in an airtight bag or container. That way, I always have a treat ready when he’s begging at the door.
- Mix and match flavors: Don’t be afraid to experiment! Sometimes I combine peanut butter with a tiny bit of banana, or try different berries depending on what’s in the fridge.
These small tips have made the process stress-free, and honestly, it’s fun seeing my dog get excited every time I pull a pupsicle from the freezer.
It’s the little joys like this that make homemade treats totally worth it.
