Frozen doggie treats

Ben and Poochie


Last Saturday my dog, Karma, turned 9 years old.  Karma and her friend, Ike, live with my parents.  My two little boys, Ben and Poochie, got to celebrate Karma's birthday with her over the weekend and they had a pool party.  Yes, I understand how bizarre that sounds, but these guys love to get together and play in the yard.  We had a plastic baby pool that they played in and they had lots of toys to play fetch with each other.  The highlight of their day was the icecream though.  Several times now I've made frozen dog treats and they all love them, even Karma who's a picky eater.  I usually make it up as I go, but here's what I did this time:
2 mashed bananas
1 individual cup of yogurt (any flavor as long as it's dog safe- be careful of things like peaches and grape)
3 tablespoons of peanut butter
1/2 cup of ice cream (once again you can use any dog friendly flavor)

This made about 8 servings (all of my dogs are small, so if you have a big dog it might be more like 4-6 servings)

Mix it all up and spoon it into little empty yogurt cups or some other small container and put it in the freezer for an hour or so.  They'll love it!  You can experiment with different flavors and make up bigger batches to keep on hand in the freezer.  Let me know what your dogs think of it!
