Frequently Asked Questions
To remove the frozen yogurt berry treats from the molds, you can quickly run the mold’s bottom under warm water. Dry the bottom off before gently stretching a side of the mold to release them.
If you do not have silicon molds, you can make these homemade yogurt dog treats in ice cube trays. Or, use small paper cups and fill them no more than an inch high. Once they are frozen solid, peel off the paper and transfer them to a freezer-safe container.
Greek yogurt is high in calcium and protein and acts as a probiotic, making it good for your dog’s digestive system. However, too much yogurt may cause your dog to become sick because dogs aren’t used to large amounts of lactose. You can use a non-dairy alternative, like coconut yogurt, if your dog is lactose intolerant. Always check with your vet when introducing new foods gradually, and watch for any adverse reactions.
Blueberries and strawberries are safe for dogs to consume in moderation! Both fruits are low in calories and high in vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber. Be sure to wash them thoroughly and cut them into smaller pieces to prevent choking. Always check with your vet when introducing new foods gradually, and watch for any adverse reactions.
