Prep Time: 10 minutes | Freezing Time: 4 hours | Total Time: 4 hours 10 minutes | Makes: 24 cubes
Savory beef stew topped with cilantro and sour cream, perfect for nutritious and tasty homemade dog meals.
Ingredients
- 8 oz (225g) lamb breast, cooked and shredded (ask your butcher to cook it if needed)
- 1/2 cup (120ml) low-sodium beef broth (enhances the lamb flavor perfectly)
- 1/4 cup (60g) plain unsweetened yogurt (adds creaminess and probiotics)
- 1/4 cup (15g) chopped fresh mint (finely chopped for even distribution)
Instructions
- Mix shredded lamb breast with beef broth until well combined—your kitchen will smell like the most expensive dog food ever and your pup will appear immediately.
- Stir in yogurt and chopped mint, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture—the mint should be chopped finely but still visible for bursts of freshness.
- Pour mixture into ice cube trays and fill completely since this mixture doesn’t expand much when frozen.
- Freeze until solid—these take about 4 hours due to the protein and fat content, but the wait is worth it for that perfect texture.
- Pop out frozen cubes and store in airtight containers—these maintain their amazing aroma even when frozen.
Notes:
- Use cooked lamb breast for safety—raw lamb isn’t recommended for homemade dog treats
- Chop mint finely but visibly—you want small pieces that distribute evenly but still provide flavor bursts
- These are rich treats—start with smaller portions for dogs new to lamb
Storage Tips:
- Keep frozen for up to 2 months in airtight containers
- These maintain their aroma even frozen—your freezer will smell like a gourmet pet store
- Rich treats mean smaller portions—adjust regular meal portions accordingly
What Makes This Recipe Special:
Lamb breast provides incredibly rich flavor and high-quality protein while being more affordable than premium cuts. The combination with beef broth creates depth of flavor, while fresh mint adds natural breath-freshening benefits and bright freshness that perfectly balances the rich lamb taste.
Mix It Up (Dog-Safe Variations):
Digestive Support Version: Add a tiny bit of fresh ginger along with mint for dogs with sensitive stomachs
Extra Large Luxury: Use silicone muffin molds for giant cubes that provide extended cooling and more substantial protein
Herb Garden Special: Add fresh parsley with the mint for extra vitamins and even more breath-freshening power
