If your dog has a dairy sensitivity, look for dairy-free, dog-safe yogurt alternatives.
-
Silicone molds or fun-shaped trays make it easy to pop the treats out and give them some playful flair.
-
Let the treats sit at room temperature for a minute or two before serving if your dog doesn’t love super cold textures.

You can swap strawberries for blueberries or watermelon, as long as they’re dog-safe fruits.

Avoid Sweetened Yogurt in Dog Treats
When making homemade dog treats with yogurt, always choose plain, unsweetened yogurt. Avoid any yogurt that contains added sugars or artificial sweeteners, especially xylitol, which is extremely toxic to dogs and can be fatal even in small amounts.
In addition to avoiding sweeteners, look for yogurt that contains live and active cultures. These probiotics help support your dog’s digestion and can break down some of the lactose in the yogurt, making it easier on their stomach.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?
You can, but Greek yogurt is thicker and often easier to blend into a creamy consistency. Make sure whatever yogurt you use is plain and has no added sugar or sweeteners.
Are bananas safe for dogs?
Yes! Bananas are full of potassium and natural sweetness. Just don’t overdo it—moderation is key.
How long do these frozen dog treats last?
Stored in an airtight container in the freezer, they’ll last up to 3 months. Just make sure to keep them sealed to avoid freezer burn.
Can I add other fruits?
Absolutely! Blueberries, cantaloupe, or even a spoonful of pumpkin puree can be great additions. Just double-check that anything you add is safe for dogs.
Make your own yogurt in either your instant pot or Ninja Foodi.
