Frozen Pumpkin Dog Treat Recipe
Making homemade treats, especially frozen ones, are so simple and the longest part of the process is letting them freeze. For this recipe, we used a can of pureed pumpkin, a 15 oz container of No-Fat Greek yogurt, and about a tablespoon of honey.
What you need to make Homemade Frozen Pumpkin Dog Treat
- Can of Pureed Pumpkin (Not Pie filling)
- No Fat Greek Yogurt
- Honey
- Extra Dog treats or kibble
t’s optional but we also used a few dog treats or dog food nuggets to top each treat off.
Simply puree the pumpkin and vanilla with a squeeze of honey in the blender until smooth. I told you this was simple.
Pour into either ice cube trays or mini muffin tins. It’s so important to keep the portions small.
Should I add kibble to homemade pumpkin dog treats?
Sure!! If you are not sure your pup will eat these, add a treat or dog food nugget gently into each holder.
Freeze until firm, unless your dog gets to them first!
How should I freeze my Frozen Pumpkin Dog Treat Recipe ?
After they are fully frozen in their muffin or ice cube trays, allow thawing a few minutes then pop them out. It is best to store them in a freezer bag.
Your pup will not leave your side with these treats. They are smaller than the commercial ones and no added fat.

I love making dog treats, my dog loves frozen bananas too.
I would really like to try making my own dog treats. With 4 dogs in the house we really run through treats a lot!
oooh… this is like fine Doggie Cuisine with the way you presented it. I like the time you put into making a wholesome meal for your Dog
What a delicious dog treat. My dog would love peanut butter
so glad this will help feed your dog their supplements
Thank you! I’ll be picking up some plain yogurt which they love – and I already give them pumpkin and sweet potatoes – I’ll also add spirulina (as it helps allergies for them – and for me) – this will be so much easier to give them – YAY
