How to Make Frozen Carrot Dog Treats
This frozen treat just a few simple ingredients and some quick preparation.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup peanut butter (make sure it doesn’t contain xylitol as it’s toxic to dogs)
Instructions
If using whole carrots, wash and peel them before shredding them. If using store bought, shredded carrots, chop them into smaller pieces.
In a mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt and peanut butter.
Mix until combined.
Add the carrots.
Mix until well combined. The mixture will be very thick.
Spoon into silicone molds. For smaller treats, I like these bone and paw shaped molds. For larger treats, I like these paw shaped molds or these bone shaped molds.
Place the molds in the freezer for at least 2 – 3 hours or until fully frozen. I like to leave mine in overnight.
Once frozen, take the treats out of the molds and give one to your dog.
The rest should be stored in an airtight container, like freezer-safe bags, in the freezer.
Pro tip: If you don’t have a mold, you can also spoon the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet in small dollops before freezing or use an ice cube tray.
Tips
Place the silicone molds on a baking sheet before filling to make transferring to the freezer easier.
Choose the size of the molds based on the size of your dog. Use smaller molds for smaller dogs, and larger molds for larger dogs.
If your dog is on a diet, make them even smaller treats. Luna’s treats are often the size of Morgan’s treats because we have to watch Luna’s weight. She doesn’t care though, she’s happy to get a treat.
If you want to use this on a lick mat, spread it on the mat before freezing, then freeze the mat or give it directly to your dog.
Always consult your vet before adding new foods to your dog’s diet especially if your dog has food sensitivities or food allergies.
Frozen carrot dog treats are a tasty treat to give to your dog any time of the year.
