Our poor little dog, Pearl, has to smell the wonderful things we cook all the time. It must be torture to have all those wonderful smells penetrating your nasal cavities knowing that you won’t get any.
Yes, life for Pearl is pretty tough. You should definitely feel bad for her.
Sometimes she even has to go on trips with us and stay at nice hotels, or ring in the New Year on the Queen Mary.
Like a good mom, I can’t talk about her without showing a baby photo. Just look at that lil’ face!
Because she’s such a good girl despite having it so rough, I thought she deserved some Cooking With Janica recipes too.
I like to keep dog treat recipes very simple. This is one of my favorites as it has only 3 ingredients.
Making them is pretty simple, you just throw all of the ingredients into a food processor and blend.
Then fill up a silicone mold (I use this one
) or an ice cube tray and freeze for two hours.
How simple is that?!
Because these dog treats are frozen instead of baked, they are perfect for summertime. You don’t have to turn on the oven, and your pup gets a tasty treat that cools him/her down.
I hope your furry friend enjoys these treats as much as Pearl does!

August 3, 2016 at 5:47 pmCould you add brewer’s yeast to help with fleas?
Jessica Pinney says
August 3, 2016 at 9:13 pmI have never used brewer’s yeast, but after reading about it I don’t see why not. If you try it please let us know how it goes!
Rebecca says
August 4, 2016 at 3:26 amI have made a treat with just brewer’s yeast and coconut oil in It. The dogs ate it but it was almost a bribe so I wanted to add something they would like more flavorful. They just can’t have to much brewer’s yeast. I will try it and let you know how it goes.
Lily Rose Gis says
August 14, 2016 at 3:07 amI just wanted to know how long I can keep the treats in the freezer.
Thanks,
Sally says
October 15, 2016 at 8:08 pmI can’t seem to get the recipe. Do you use just plain yogurt?
Jessica Pinney says
October 15, 2016 at 8:20 pmWhat do you mean, Sally? Yes it is just plain yogurt.

October 19, 2016 at 8:58 amWhere can I get that “paw” silicon mold?
Jessica Pinney says
October 19, 2016 at 12:05 pmI got mine on Amazon. If you have trouble finding it I have a link to it in the recipe, as well as in the intro before the recipe.
Judy says
October 23, 2016 at 11:36 ami have been looking for the recipe for this. Where is it hiding?

November 13, 2016 at 8:39 amThe paw print mold is made by K9Cakery.com. It turns out perfect little paws. Easy to clean too. I use it all the time. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
Jennifer says
November 29, 2016 at 4:00 amPlease read the peanut butter ingredient list. Some brands are now being sweetened with zylitol which is bad for dogs. Otherwise, I am sure all three of our dogs – even the finicky Jack Russell – will love these.

January 4, 2017 at 10:08 amI don’t have a dog, but these look delicious for people too.
Diane says
January 9, 2017 at 6:30 pmThanks I will be trying this recipe tomorrow for my little chipoo Bella. She loves peanut butter.
Jessica Pinney says
January 9, 2017 at 7:00 pmI hope Bella enjoys them!
Casey says
February 1, 2017 at 4:38 pmHi Jessica! After making these and the initial freeze- what is the recommended shelf life? Can we store them on the counter do they need to be kept frozen? Thx!
Jessica Pinney says
February 2, 2017 at 10:04 pmHi Casey! You will definitely want to keep them frozen.
I have kept mine as long as 3 weeks and they were still fine. They may get a little “icy” on the outside, but my dog doesn’t seem to mind 🙂

Kayla Hutsul says
April 16, 2017 at 8:06 amDo you use plain regular yogurt or plain Greek yogurt? The consistency from the video looks like it would be Greek yogurt. Can either be used? Also how many paw print moods does this recipe make? Thank you!
Randi says
May 20, 2017 at 11:08 amAs someone else mentioned, can I use plain Greek yogurt instead?

May 29, 2017 at 12:05 pmWe just made these. I cut the recipe in half and it made a little over a full ice tray. So naturally the pups got to eat the leftovers and lick the bowl clean. They loved it! And im sure they will love it when it is frozen too. (I even tried some and it was in fact quite delicious) Going to be a great treat for hot summer days! Thank you for the recipe!

June 5, 2017 at 1:38 pmomg!! Sounds amazing!!!!!!!!!!!:):)
HeelerGirl says
June 6, 2017 at 7:18 pmWe use brewers yeast. Neither of our two dogs have had a flea or tick, knock on wood. .
Some dogs like coconut oil straight up and some do not.. I make the cc. oil + brewer’s y. treatsvin a gummy bear mold. They LOVE them :))
If you can find organic peanut butter the only ingredient is peanuts. No sugar. No salt. No worries! ♡

June 8, 2017 at 6:23 pmI made a batch of these for all the fur-babies in the family. My husband and I have Coco, a doxi-terrier mix, then there’s Henny Penny a mini doxi, Stella a manchester terrier mix, Shadow a black lab, and Izzy a yellow lab. They ALL love their ice cream treaties!!! Thanks for sharing your recipe! Ruff Ruff!!

June 10, 2017 at 6:27 pmSo glad your dogs enjoyed it, Tammy!
Emma says
June 12, 2017 at 5:43 pmCan I use vanilla yogurt to make these?
Jessica Pinney says
June 12, 2017 at 6:23 pmI’m sure that would be fine. I do try to avoid yogurt with added sugar.
HeelerGirl says
June 14, 2017 at 7:16 pmI would just stick with plain. The added sugar and flavor is not necessary, and every dog recipe I have ever seen has specifically said plain..
🙂 <3
Stefanie says
July 10, 2017 at 6:47 pmCan you add fresh mint and parsley to these to help with breath?
Jessica Pinney says
July 10, 2017 at 10:21 pmI think that would work great, Stefanie. Hope your pups enjoy!
leanne pecukonis says
July 25, 2017 at 12:32 pmMy recipe said 3 bananas and 1 cup of PB and 32 ozs of yogurt. Is that wrong proportions?
