Description
Watermelon Yogurt Frozen Bones are a refreshing and healthy homemade treat for dogs. Made with just three natural ingredients, they help keep your pup cool and hydrated during hot days.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh watermelon (seedless, diced)
- 1/2 cup plain unsweetened yogurt (Greek or regular)
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed (optional)
- 1/4 cup blueberries (optional)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional)
Instructions
- Dice the seedless watermelon into small chunks.
- Blend the watermelon in a blender or food processor until smooth.
- Pour the watermelon purée into a mixing bowl.
- Stir in the yogurt and honey (if using) until well combined.
- If using optional ingredients, add them and mix thoroughly.
- Pour the mixture into silicone molds or an ice cube tray.
- Tap the tray gently to remove air bubbles.
- Place in the freezer for at least 4-6 hours or until completely frozen.
- Once solid, remove from the molds and store in an airtight container in the freezer.
Notes
- Use plain, unsweetened yogurt without xylitol, as it is toxic to dogs.
- Remove seeds and rind from the watermelon before blending.
- If your dog is lactose intolerant, substitute yogurt with unsweetened coconut milk.
- For a fun variation, freeze the mixture in a Kong toy for a longer-lasting treat.
- Store the frozen treats in an airtight container for up to 2 months.
