Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 medium cucumber peeled and roughly chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves loosely packed, stems removed
  • 1/2 cup plain unsweetened yogurt no xylitol, no artificial sweeteners
  • 1/4 cup water

Method
 

  1. Wash, peel, and roughly chop the cucumber into pieces small enough for your blender or food processor.
  2. Add the cucumber pieces, fresh mint leaves, yogurt, and water to a blender or food processor.
  3. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and pourable, with no large chunks remaining.
  4. Place silicone paw molds (or a small ice cube tray) on a baking sheet or flat cutting board.
  5. Carefully pour the cucumber-mint mixture into each mold, filling almost to the top without overflowing.
  6. Gently tap the tray on the counter to release any air bubbles and level the mixture.
  7. Transfer the filled molds to the freezer and freeze for 2 hours, or until the treats are completely solid.
  8. Once frozen, pop the treats out of the molds and place them in a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag for storage.
  9. Serve 1 or 2 frozen treats to your dog as a refreshing, low-calorie snack.

Notes

- Use only plain, unsweetened yogurt without added sugar, flavors, or sweeteners such as xylitol, which is toxic to dogs.
- If your dog is sensitive to dairy, replace the yogurt with additional water or low-sodium bone broth and freeze as usual.
- Store the frozen treats in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 2 months.
- Serve on a wipeable surface or outdoors, as the treats will melt and can drip.
