Description
Cool, refreshing, and absolutely irresistible—these protein-packed frozen treats will have your dog doing happy zoomies every time you open the freezer!
Prep Time: 5 minutes | Freezing Time: 3 hours | Total Time: 3 hours 5 minutes | Makes: 12-16 ice cubes
Ingredients
- 1 can (5 oz) tuna in water, drained (completely safe for dogs)
- 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/4 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt (skip flavored varieties)
- 1/4 cup filtered water
Instructions
- Drain that tuna completely—excess liquid makes watery ice cubes that lose their amazing flavor punch
- Combine all ingredients in your blender and blend for 30 seconds until smooth as silk (chunky bits can be choking hazards)
- Pour mixture into ice cube trays, filling about 3/4 full to allow for expansion
- Freeze for at least 3 hours until completely solid—trust me, your dog can wait that long for this frozen goodness
- Pop out and serve immediately, or store in freezer for up to one month (if your pup can wait that long)
Notes:
- Always let treats cool completely if using warm broth
- Amber prefers these slightly softened, so let sit for 2-3 minutes if your dog has sensitive teeth
- Perfect for hot summer days when your pup needs extra hydration
Storage Tips:
- Store in sealed freezer container for up to 1 month
- Don’t leave these out—they’ll melt and make a fishy mess
- Toss if you see any freezer burn or ice crystals forming
What Makes This Recipe Special:
These frozen treats provide complete nutrition with protein-rich tuna, probiotics from yogurt, and natural hydration that beats any store-bought option. The smooth texture prevents choking while delivering maximum flavor that keeps dogs begging for more.
