Description
Cool, creamy, protein-packed frozen treats that provide the perfect relief on hot summer days while delivering incredible nutritional benefits!
Prep Time: 20 minutes | Freezing Time: 4 hours | Total Time: 4 hours 20 minutes | Makes: 16 treats

Ingredients
- 8 oz beef lung (ask your local butcher—they often set aside organ meat for pet owners)
- 1 carrot, peeled and chopped (adds natural sweetness and color)
- 1/2 cup low-sodium beef broth (check labels carefully—regular broth is too salty)
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (probiotics for gut health, completely safe for dogs)
Instructions
- Cook the beef lung – Boil in plain water for 15 minutes until fully cooked and tender. Let cool completely before blending (hot meat will melt your yogurt).
- Blend to perfection – Combine cooled beef lung, chopped carrot, beef broth, and yogurt in a blender. Blend until completely smooth and creamy—about 2 minutes.
- Fill and freeze – Pour mixture into ice cube trays, filling each about 3/4 full. Tap trays gently to remove air bubbles for prettier treats.
- Patience pays off – Freeze for at least 4 hours until completely solid. Pop out and watch your pup go crazy!
- Serve and enjoy – Give to your dog outside or on a towel since they can get drippy as they melt (if your pup can wait that long).
Notes:
- Start slowly with organ meat if your dog hasn’t had it before—some need time to adjust
- Serve outside or on towels to prevent melty messes in your house
- These are protein-rich so stick to recommended portions to avoid tummy upset
Storage Tips:
- Store in freezer bags with dates written on them for easy organization
- Keep frozen for up to 2 months in airtight containers
- Don’t refreeze once they’ve completely melted—food safety first
- Make in batches during cooler weather to have summer treats ready
What Makes This Recipe Special:
Beef lung provides incredibly dense nutrition that dogs would naturally consume in the wild, while the frozen format offers cooling relief during hot weather. The combination of organ meat, vegetables, and probiotics creates a treat that’s both refreshing and nutritionally superior to commercial alternatives.
Mix It Up (Dog-Safe Variations):
Extra Hydrating Version: Add more beef broth for dogs who need extra fluid intake during heat waves
Sensitive Stomach Special: Use bone broth instead of regular broth for easier digestion (perfect for senior dogs like Amber)
Birthday Celebration: Use fun silicone molds instead of ice cube trays for special occasions
