Benefits of Coconut Milk for Dogs
Coconut milk is a non-dairy alternative that’s gentle on sensitive stomachs and contains healthy fats like medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which may help support your dog’s skin and coat, boost energy levels, and aid in digestion. Coconut milk also has anti-inflammatory properties that can be soothing for pups with allergies or itchy skin.
Ingredients
These treats are made with simple, natural ingredients. And the best part? You probably already have everything you need in your fridge or freezer! No fancy stuff here, just wholesome goodness your dog will love. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Blueberries – Fresh or frozen

- Lite Coconut Milk – Dairy Free and Low Fat
Yep, it’s a simple 3-ingredient frozen dog treat recipe!

How to Make Frozen Coconut Milk Dog Treats
Making these fruity frozen treats is super simple, and I’ve got step-by-step photos to help guide you along the way. You’ll be whipping up a batch for your pup in no time. Here’s what to do:
- Divide the coconut milk into three equal parts.
- For the blueberry treats, add one part of coconut milk and 1 cup of blueberries to a blender or food processor and blend well. Pour the mixture into silicone molds or ice cube trays.
- For the strawberry treats, add one part of coconut milk and 1 cup of strawberries to a blender or food processor and blend well. Pour the mixture into silicone molds or ice cube trays.
- For the coconut treats, pour the remaining coconut milk into silicone molds or ice cube trays.
- Freeze for about 2 hours or until frozen solid.
Serving Size
The recipe will yield approximately 50 treats when made using small bone-shaped molds. That equates to about 15 calories for one treat.
The serving amount can vary depending on the size of your dog and how many calories per day you feed your dog. Treats should not exceed 10% of your dog’s daily caloric intake.
Start with one treat to ensure your dog has no adverse reactions to new ingredients. Always consult your veterinarian if you’re unsure about portion sizes.
How to Store Frozen Dog Treats and How Long They Last
After the treats have frozen, remove them from the molds and place them in a plastic freezer bag or freezer-safe airtight container. Store the treats in the freezer. They will last up to 4 months.
Can people eat these frozen dog treats?
Yes, absolutely! Make a double batch so you have some for people and some for dogs. They’re great for those watching their sugar intake. Give one (or three) a try and see how you like it.
