1. Drain anchovies completely and pat dry to remove excess salt (trust me on this step).
2. In a blender, combine anchovies, chicken broth, and Greek yogurt—blend until completely smooth.
3. Stir in grated carrot by hand until evenly distributed throughout mixture.
4. Pour into ice cube trays or silicone molds, filling 3/4 full to allow for expansion.
5. Freeze for at least 4 hours or until completely solid (overnight is even better).
6. Pop treats out of molds and serve immediately, or store in freezer.

Notes:

• Always supervise dogs with frozen treats to prevent gulping
• Let treats sit for 1-2 minutes if they’re too hard from your freezer
• Amber prefers these completely frozen, but some dogs like them slightly softened

Storage Tips:

• Store in airtight container or freezer bag for up to 2 months
• Keep frozen at all times—they’ll get messy as they thaw
• Label container with date to track freshness

What Makes This Recipe Special:

Anchovies provide concentrated omega-3 fatty acids that improve coat shine and support brain health. Greek yogurt delivers probiotics for digestive wellness, while carrots add beta-carotene for eye health. These treats are like giving your dog a supplement disguised as a refreshing summer snack.

Mix It Up (Dog-Safe Variations):

• Joint Support: Add tiny pinch of turmeric for anti-inflammatory benefits
• Training Size: Use mini ice cube trays for bite-sized rewards
• Salmon Version: Replace anchovies with canned salmon for milder flavor (perfect for my 8-year-old Amber)
