Supplies

I used ice pop forms and mini bone-shaped silicone molds, but you can freeze your dog treats in any type of mold, or even just in disposable cups.

While each type of ice pop only requires 2-3 ingredients, here is the total list of ingredients used:

- Raspberries

- Plain yogurt

- Blueberries

- Peanut butter

- Banana

- Peas

- Chopped carrots

- Low-sodium chicken broth

- Watermelon

- Canned pumpkin

- Bone-shaped dog biscuits (to use as a popsicle stick, optional)

Step 1: Pumpkin Creamsicle Pops

Pumpkin is loaded with vitamins and aids with canine digestion, which makes it a fantastic ingredient for your pet. Plus, its bright orange hue makes these frozen treats just as pretty as they are tasty.

Fill your molds 1/4-1/3 of the way with plain yogurt. In a bowl, combine equal parts yogurt and pumpkin puree and mix until combined. Then, use the pumpkin mixture to completely fill the molds. Add dog biscuit, if desired, and freeze completely.

Step 2: Polka Dot Pops

Place peas and blueberries into your molds as desired, and then fill them the rest of the way with chicken broth. Freeze completely, then serve.

Step 3: Berry Rocket Pops

These tri-toned treats look like the classic red, white, and blue rocket pop and are perfect for the Fourth of July!

Mash raspberries until they fill your molds 1/3 of the way. Then, add a thick layer of plain yogurt. In a separate bowl, mash blueberries with either a fork or hand blender, and use the mixture to fill the molds completely. Insert dog biscuit if desired, and freeze until set.

Step 4: Watermelon Sorbet Treats

These pink popsicles only require one ingredient! Using a melon baller or spoon, scoop enough watermelon to fill your molds completely. Then, puree using either a hand blender or fork and fill molds with the mixture. Then, freeze completely.

Step 5: Peanut Butter Banana Treats

I think these are my dog's favorite. In a bowl, combine equal parts peanut butter and yogurt with a small piece of mashed banana. Carefully spoon into the molds, freeze, and serve.

Step 6: Savory Chicken Treats

Place a small layer of peas in your molds, followed by a layer of chopped carrots. Fill the rest of each mold with chicken broth.

Because this mixture is less viscous than the others, in order to place a dog biscuit, cover each mold with a layer of plastic wrap, poke a hole in the plastic, then place the biscuit inside. Freeze well, then remove from the molds.

Step 7: Enjoy!

Finally, let your pet enjoy! Make sure to always supervise your dog when giving him a treat, and consult a veterinarian before making large pet dietary changes.
