Summer is the perfect time to treat your dog to something cool, fruity, and fun. Whether you’re lounging in the backyard, going for a walk on a sunny day, or celebrating your pup’s birthday, these Frozen Strawberry Banana Summer Treats are a hit with dogs of all sizes—and they’re super easy to make at home.

In this blog post, we’ll share everything you need to know about making these homemade dog popsicles, why they’re great for your pup, and how you can grab a free recipe book packed with healthy, dog-friendly snacks your furry friend will love.

🐶 Why Make Frozen Dog Treats?

Just like humans, dogs can overheat in the summer. Frozen treats aren’t just a tasty reward—they’re a way to help your pup stay cool and hydrated. Plus, making them yourself means you get full control over the ingredients, so your dog isn’t snacking on anything artificial or questionable.

These particular frozen treats combine some of the most dog-safe fruits—bananas and strawberries—with the creamy goodness of plain Greek yogurt, creating a nutritious and delicious combination that supports your dog’s digestion and provides a burst of natural vitamins and minerals.

🍓 Recipe: Frozen Strawberry Banana Summer Treats

Here’s the full, simple recipe—ready to save, pin, or print!

Ingredients:

• 1 ripe banana
• ½ cup strawberries (fresh or frozen)
• ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened and xylitol-free)
• Silicone paw or bone mold (for that cute dog-treat look!)

🔎 Pro Tip: You can find paw or bone molds on Amazon, Chewy, or at your local pet store. Ice cube trays work too in a pinch!

Instructions:

1. Blend all ingredients in a blender or food processor until smooth.
2. Pour the mixture into your silicone molds. Tap lightly on the counter to remove air bubbles.
3. Freeze for 2–3 hours, or until solid.
4. Pop out the treats and serve right away—or store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

That’s it! No baking, no added sugar, and no hassle.

🍌 Why These Ingredients Work for Dogs

Each ingredient in this recipe offers specific benefits:

✅ Bananas

Rich in potassium, fiber, and vitamin C, bananas help support heart and muscle function and digestion.

✅ Strawberries

Packed with antioxidants and vitamin C, strawberries can help boost your pup’s immune system and even support healthy aging.

✅ Plain Greek Yogurt

A great source of calcium and probiotics, yogurt promotes digestive health and supports strong bones.

⚠️ Important Note: Always choose plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt—and double-check that it does not contain xylitol, an artificial sweetener that is toxic to dogs.

📌 Perfect For…

• Summer refreshers on hot days
• Teething puppies (the coolness helps soothe gums!)
• Dog birthday parties
• Training treats that your pup will go wild for

They’re small, quick to make, and just the right size to serve as a mid-day snack or post-walk cooldown.

🧊 Variations to Try

Once your dog loves the original recipe (and trust us—they will), you can get creative with these fun mix-ins:

• 🫐 Blueberries – Add a handful for extra antioxidants
• 🥜 Peanut Butter – Just a teaspoon for a nutty twist (make sure it’s xylitol-free!)
• 🥥 Coconut Milk – For an extra creamy texture
• 🍎 Apple (peeled) – Adds a crunchy-sweet dimension

Mix and match to see what your pup likes best!

📷 Make It Pinterest-Worthy

💡 Dog Treat Safety TipsBefore you hit the kitchen, here are a few quick reminders:

1. Always check labels – Make sure yogurt and any mix-ins are xylitol-free.
2. Start small – If your dog hasn’t had bananas, strawberries, or yogurt before, give them a small amount first to make sure it sits well.
3. Watch portion sizes – These treats are healthy, but moderation is key!

If your dog has any health concerns or dietary restrictions, it’s always smart to talk with your vet before introducing new treats.
