With just two simple ingredients and no oven required, these homemade dog treats are a breeze to make—and they won’t heat up your kitchen on those hot summer days.

All you need is some fresh strawberries and plain or Greek yogurt, plus a silicone mold (like our favorite one shown) or even an ice cube tray. Just blend, pour, and freeze! In a couple of hours, you’ll have a batch of delicious, dog-safe frozen bites ready to serve. Pop them out and store them in a freezer bag for easy grab-and-go snacks all summer long.

🍓 Why Strawberries Are Good for Dogs

Strawberries are more than just a sweet summer snack—they’re packed with dog-friendly nutrients like:

• Vitamin C – immune support
• Vitamin B-1, B-6, and K – essential for brain and body function
• Magnesium & Potassium – support heart and muscle health
• Folic Acid – helps produce red blood cells
• Fiber – supports digestion
• Iodine & Omega-3s – help with thyroid and skin health

✅ Important Note: Always remove the stems and leaves from strawberries before feeding them to your dog. These parts can cause choking or upset stomachs.

Portion Tips: Strawberries are naturally high in sugar, so moderation is key.

• Small to medium dogs: 1 treat per day
• Large dogs: Up to 2 treats per day
• Dogs with diabetes or allergies: Consult your vet first

If your pup has environmental allergies (like pollen or grass), strawberries may trigger similar symptoms. Always introduce new treats slowly and watch for signs of itching or tummy troubles.

🥣 Is Yogurt Safe for Dogs?

Yes, in moderation—and only certain types. Yogurt can be a superfood for dogs when chosen carefully.

✔️ Benefits of Yogurt for Dogs:

• Calcium – supports bone health and nerve function
• Potassium – aids in hydration and muscle function
• Probiotics – promotes a healthy gut
• Protein – builds and maintains muscles

❌ What to Avoid:

• No artificial sweeteners, especially Xylitol (also labeled as birch sugar, E967, or XyliPure)
• No flavored yogurts – Stick to plain or Greek yogurt

💡 Greek yogurt is best—it’s lower in sugar, lower in lactose, and higher in protein.

If your dog is lactose intolerant, try:

• Almond yogurt
• Soy yogurt
• Lactose-free yogurt
• Kefir

Signs of Lactose Intolerance in Dogs:

• Bloating
• Gas
• Diarrhea
• Vomiting
• Lack of appetite

If you notice any of these symptoms, stop giving yogurt and consult your vet.

Friendly Reminder:
I may know my way around the treat jar, but I’m not a veterinarian! The recipes I share on The Barking Blogger are made with love and good intentions, but every pup is different. If your dog has allergies or a sensitive tummy, or if you just want to be extra sure, give your vet a quick woof before trying out a new treat. After all, a happy, healthy pup is the best kind of pup!
