1. Make sure you’re using plain canned pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling which contains unsafe spices for dogs.
2. Combine canned pumpkin, plain yogurt, honey, and cinnamon in blender and blend until completely smooth and creamy.
3. Blend until mixture is perfectly uniform with no streaks—consistency should be like thick, creamy pumpkin spice smoothie.
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 4 hours or until completely firm—they need to be frozen through for perfect frosty 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 frosty 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
