Why Choose Frozen Pumpkin Blueberry Dog Treats?

Frozen Pumpkin Blueberry Dog Treats are not only delicious but also offer numerous health benefits for your furry friend. Pumpkin is a rich source of fibre and essential vitamins like A, C, and E, which promote healthy digestion and a shiny coat. Blueberries, on the other hand, are packed with antioxidants, which help boost your dog’s immune system and protect against free radicals.

By choosing homemade frozen treats, you have complete control over the ingredients, ensuring your dog gets the best possible nutrition without any artificial additives or preservatives.

Variations and Substitutions

You can easily substitute different fruits for the blueberries.  Dog-safe fruits include:

Apples, Bananas, Blueberries, Cranberries, Oranges, Peaches, Pears, Pineapple, Raspberries, Strawberries, Watermelon

Coconut oil can be substituted with any dog-safe liquid including yogurt, kefir, water, broth, or even coconut water or coconut milk

Frozen Pumpkin Blueberry Dog Treats Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling, as it has too much sugar!)
• 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
• 1/4 cup coconut oil

• Prep: 5 mins
• Freeze: 4 hours
• Yield: about 16

Steps

1. In a medium bowl, mix pumpkin puree and blueberries.  If blueberries are large, consider cutting them into smaller pieces or giving them a quick blast in a blender, depending on the size of the mold you are using
2. Melt coconut oil in the microwave
3. Mix coconut oil into pumpkin/blueberry mixture (if the mixture hardens too much once the coconut oil is added just pop it back into the microwave)
4. Place mold(s) on a hard surface that can be moved to the freezer, like a small cookie sheet or a tupperware lid
5. Pour into mold(s), filling to top of mold.  Use a spatula to smooth out and remove an overflow
6. Place on a flat surface in the freezer
7. Freeze for at least 4 hours

Storage

Store in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months in the freezer.
