But before we get to those delicious frosty dog treats, here are a few tips to get you started.

Handy Tips On Making DIY Frozen Dog Treats

One of the great things about making frozen treats for your dog is that they’re super simple and you can customize them as needed.

Before you get to whipping up a batch of dog treats, make sure that the ingredients you use are safe and healthy for dogs.

Avoid using ingredients like chocolate, caffeine, grapes, and raisins, as they can be toxic to dogs.

Additionally, consider your dog’s preferences and any dietary restrictions they may have, such as allergies or sensitive stomachs.

Odin is not a fan of bananas so if I’m making frozen dog treats that have bananas, I make sure to add something like peanut butter or plain Greek yogurt.

When freezing the treats, be sure to use an appropriate container and freeze them for at least a few hours to ensure that they’re fully frozen.

Finally, always supervise your dog when giving them a frozen treat to prevent choking or other accidents.

If you’re using an ingredient in your homemade frozen dog treats that your dog has never had before, make sure to introduce the treats slowly to avoid giving your dog an upset stomach and /or speak with your veterinarian.

Get creative as you want with molds for frozen dog treats.

You can use something as simple as a small paper cup or purchase cute silicone molds in fun dog shapes.

Since frozen dog treats can get messy, try to give them outside to avoid making a mess or creating stains in your house. 

Now let’s look at a few frozen dog treat favorites!
