  • Portion mixture into silicone treat molds or ice cube trays. Freeze at least 4 hours or until firm.

  • Store, tightly covered, in freezer for up to 1 month. Let treats stand at least 5 minutes before serving to slightly soften.

Tips

*Do not select items that contain the ingredient xylitol. Xylitol is a sweetener that is sometimes found in peanut butter and yogurt products. It can be very toxic to pets, even in small amounts.

**Coconut oil should be given to dogs in small amounts to prevent pancreatitis and diarrhea. Pay attention to portion sizes.

Treats should make up no more than 10 percent of a dog's daily calorie intake.
