1. Make sure you’re using plain canned pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling which contains unsafe spices for dogs.
2. Combine canned pumpkin, shredded carrots, plain yogurt, and honey in blender and blend until completely smooth and creamy.
3. Blend until carrots are completely broken down and mixture has uniform, appealing texture—no chunks should remain.
4. Pour smooth mixture into ice cube trays or silicone molds, filling completely since pumpkin doesn’t expand during freezing.
5. Freeze for at least 3 hours or until completely solid—they need to be frozen through for perfect texture.
6. Pop out frozen treats and serve immediately for maximum autumn flavor and cooling relief.

Notes:

• Only give honey to dogs over one year old—substitute with mashed sweet potato for younger puppies
• Amber prefers these completely frozen for maximum crunch factor
• Always use plain pumpkin puree, never pumpkin pie filling with spices

Storage Tips:

• Store in freezer in airtight containers for up to 2 months
• Make big batches during pumpkin season for year-round digestive support
• Don’t let them sit out too long—they melt quickly and can get messy

What Makes This Recipe Special:
