Pupsicles – Frozen Treats for Dogs

During the summer months, everyone loves a cold treat, even our four legged friends! While there are tons of places that you can get your doggy friend a pup cup, often these ice creams are full of stuff that’s not so great for their little tummies. Luckily, it is super easy to make dog safe frozen treats, or what we call pupsicles at our house, with things you probably already have in your pantry! I like to top Zoey’s pupsicles with her favorite dog biscuit, Old Mother Hubbard’s, to make them an extra special treat.

To say that our dog Zoey is spoiled is an understatement, but in my defense, how can you not spoil a little face like this one! These pupsicles are Zoey’s absolute favorite summer treat, and while she isn’t picky, I am. I try to be mindful of what we feed her, including her treats – that’s why I love Old Mother Hubbard’s biscuits. They are a treat that I can feel good about giving to her because they are made with all-natural ingredients, slow baked to preserve the natural flavors that dogs love, and they’ve been around since 1926, so you know they have to be good! Head to Walmart to pick up Old Mother Hubbard’s biscuits for your four legged friend! While Zoey loves these biscuits plain, they are even better when added into pupsicles!

Zoey’s pupsicles are super easy to make and are full of good for dog ingredients, so you can feel good spoiling your pup. They are made with Greek yogurt, bananas, peanut butter, honey and Zoey’s favorite dog biscuits, Old Mother Hubbard’s P-Nuttier N’ Nanners. They come together in a snap, and when they are fully frozen, I store them in a freezer bag to maximize freezer space.

Pupsicles – Popsicles for Dogs

1 large ripe banana (mashed)
1 tbsp peanut butter
1 tbsp honey
2 cups plain Greek yogurt
12 Old Mother Hubbard’s P-Nuttier N’ Nanners biscuits

In a large bowl, combine banana, peanut butter, honey and green yogurt. Mix until smooth.
Spoon mixture into your silicone molds and top each pupsicle with an Old Mother Hubbard’s biscuit.
Freeze for at least two hours, or until frozen solid.

Once your pupsicles are frozen, get ready to spoil your pup! Full disclosure, these do melt quickly and can get messy if you hold them in your hands. I recommend putting them into your dog’s bowl, instead of holding them like Alex did, but it is so fun to get all the messy puppy kisses while you hold the treats too!

If you make these pupsicles for your dog, share them on Instagram and don’t forget to tag me!

We Got a Puppy!

Before we moved to Connecticut, we promised Alex that we would get a dog once we moved and were settled in. Our renovations took longer than expected, but the day finally came that we were settled in enough to get a puppy. We knew that we were going to adopt a puppy and we discovered Compassionate Pet Rescue through one of their adoption events at a local shopping center. We visited them for about 6 months before we finally decided to get a puppy of our own!

Meet Zoey!

She is a 12 week old Plott Hound/Lab mix and she stole our hearts the moment we laid eyes on her.

It’s funny because we had actually picked out a different puppy online and the people ahead of us picked him out. We ended up taking one of Zoey’s brothers out for a walk and a different couple had taken Zoey. The puppies started playing together and we got to talking. They told us they wanted a boy puppy and we wanted a girl, so we traded them and both puppies got a new home!

We wouldn’t trade her for the world!
