Ingredients

Scale

2 cups low-sodium bone broth (joint-supporting collagen and minerals, always check labels for dog safety)
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (probiotics for gut health and creamy texture dogs love)
1/2 cup chopped dog-safe fruits like blueberries or diced apples, seeds removed (vitamins and antioxidants for overall health)
Silicone molds or ice cube trays (silicone releases easier but either works perfectly)

Instructions

Mix the low-sodium bone broth and plain Greek yogurt in a bowl until well combined—thorough mixing prevents separation and creates that perfect creamy consistency.
Divide your chopped dog-safe fruits evenly into silicone molds or ice cube trays—2-3 pieces per mold creates perfect frozen treasures for dogs to discover.
Pour the bone broth mixture slowly over the fruits, leaving a tiny bit of space at the top since liquids expand when frozen.
Place in the freezer for 3-4 hours or until completely solid—patience here ensures perfect texture and easy removal from molds.
Pop out the pupsicles by gently pushing from the bottom or running warm water over molds for 10-15 seconds if needed.
Serve outside or on a towel and watch your pup go absolutely crazy with joy—the mess is half the fun for dogs who love every last lick.

Notes:

Always use low-sodium bone broth and check labels for dog-toxic ingredients like onions or garlic
Serve outside or on towels since these get delightfully messy as they melt
These provide both nutrition and mental stimulation as dogs work to enjoy every bit
Perfect for hot weather hydration and joint health support

Storage Tips:

Keep in airtight containers in the freezer for up to 2 months
Label containers with dates for freshness tracking
Make big batches since they store beautifully and dogs love consistency
They actually get more flavorful after a few days when ingredients meld together
