In a blender or food processor, blend the mixed berries until smooth. If you prefer, you can also leave some chunks for a bit of texture. - Add the Coconut Oil

Divide the mixture evenly into an ice cube tray or silicone mold. You can use bone-shaped molds for fun, but regular ice cube trays work perfectly! - Freeze
Place the tray in the freezer for about 2-3 hours or until the cubes are fully set. - Pop Out and Serve
Once frozen, pop out a cube and give your dog a cool, delicious treat!
Why These Ingredients Are Fantastic for Dogs (and Why Vegan is a Bonus!)

These ingredients are not only safe for dogs but also loaded with nutrients that support their health. Here’s why these frozen treats are a great addition to your dog’s snack rotation:
- Berries – Berries are antioxidant powerhouses that help protect cells and boost immune function. They’re also rich in fiber, which aids digestion, and low in calories.
- Coconut Oil – Coconut oil provides healthy fats that support your dog’s skin, coat, and overall energy. It can even help with inflammation and support cognitive health in older dogs.
Choosing a vegan, plant-based recipe also means fewer allergens and a lighter treat, which is perfect for summer days. 🌱

FAQs
Q: Can I use other fruits instead of berries?
Absolutely! You can use dog-safe fruits like apples (no seeds), watermelon, or bananas. Just make sure they’re pureed and dog-friendly.

Yes, you can skip the coconut oil and use just the berry puree. It may be a little less creamy, but it’s still a delicious, antioxidant-rich treat.
Q: How many frozen cubes can I give my dog per day?
These are small, low-calorie treats, so 1-2 cubes per day is perfect for most dogs. Adjust the serving size based on your dog’s size and dietary needs.
Q: Are these treats safe for puppies?
Yes, but start with a smaller portion to see how they handle the cold texture, and adjust as needed based on their size.
Q: Can I add peanut butter to the mixture?
Sure! Adding a spoonful of xylitol-free peanut butter can add flavor and make these even more enticing. Just stir it in with the berry puree.
Q: Are these treats good for dogs with allergies?
Yes, these treats are vegan and free from common allergens like dairy and wheat. Just be sure your dog isn’t sensitive to berries or coconut oil.
