Why This is the Best Peanut Butter Dog Popsicle Recipe

There are tons of frozen dog treat recipes out there, but most are just basic frozen blobs. These are real popsicles with an actual stick in the middle, making them fun for your dog to hold (or chomp) while they enjoy their treat.

You can customize the stick to fit your pup’s preferences or dietary needs. Use a dog biscuit, chew stick, bully stick, or even a crunchy veggie like a carrot, celery stick, or green bean.

They’re super easy to make. No blender required – just stir everything together, spoon it into an ice cube tray, add the sticks, and pop them in the freezer. That’s it!

And let’s be honest, they’re just plain adorable. Watching your dog happily munch on a peanut butter popsicle is guaranteed to make you smile. They’re perfect for summertime snacking, birthday surprises, or whenever your pup deserves a little something special.

Ingredients

These doggy popsicles are made with just a few wholesome ingredients you probably already have on hand. They’re simple, safe, and satisfying for your pup!

  • Peanut Butter – Full of healthy fats and protein, peanut butter adds creamy texture and irresistible flavor.
  • Plain Yogurt – Thick, creamy, and packed with probiotics, yogurt gives the popsicles a smooth consistency and digestive benefits. Low-fat Greek yogurt is best for dogs.
  • Dog Biscuits – These act as the “popsicle stick” and add a crunchy surprise your pup will love at the end.

Ingredient Notes and Substitutions

While the basic recipe is super simple, there are a few things to keep in mind and some easy ways to switch things up:

Never use peanut butter that contains xylitol. This artificial sweetener is toxic to dogs. Always check the label for dog-safe ingredients.

You can substitute peanut butter with almond butter or sunflower seed butter, as long as they’re unsweetened and xylitol-free.

For a dairy-free version, replace the Greek yogurt with lite coconut milk. It’ll still be creamy and just as tasty!

If you want to switch out the stick, try bully sticks, plain chicken jerky for dogs, dog chew sticks, or even vegetables like carrots, parsnips, celery, or green beans. Just be sure whatever you use is safe and appropriate for your dog’s size and chewing style.

Equipment Needed

You probably have most of the kitchen items you need to make these dog popsicles. The key ones are a bowl and ice cube trays. But, instead of an ice cube tray, you can use:

  • Mini silicone muffin pan to make round ones.
  • Mini popsicle molds to make larger ones for big dogs.
  • Small disposable paper or plastic cups.

How to Make Peanut Butter Popsicles for Dogs

These popsicles come together in just minutes, and your freezer does the rest of the work! Here’s what you need to do and some photos of the process:

  1. Place the peanut butter and yogurt in a mixing bowl.
  2. Stir until well combined and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Spoon the mixture into an ice cube tray. Fill each cube 3/4 full.
  4. Push a dog biscuit into the middle of each cube.
  5. Freeze for at least 2 hours, or until frozen solid.
  6. Remove the frozen dog popsicles from the tray.

If the dog biscuit won’t stay upright, don’t worry – your pup won’t mind at all! But if you’d like the stick to stand up straight, freeze the popsicles until they’re partially set, then insert the treat. It’ll stay in place much better that way.

Serving Size

How many popsicles should your dog have? That depends on their size, activity level, and overall daily diet. As a general guideline, treats should make up no more than 10% of your dog’s daily calories.

If you’re using dog biscuits or chew sticks, always follow the recommended serving size on the packaging.

Start by giving your dog just one to make sure they tolerate the ingredients well. And as always, check with your veterinarian if you’re unsure about how many treats your dog should have in a day.

How to Store the Popsicles and How Long They Last

Store any leftover popsicles in a freezer-safe container or plastic freezer bag. They’ll keep well in the freezer for up to 3 months. That means you can make a big batch in advance and have a stash of cool treats ready to go all summer long!

Can People Eat These Popsicles?

Oh yes, they sure can – depending on the stick! The yogurt and peanut butter popsicle mixture is safe for human consumption. But if you’re using a dog biscuit or chew stick, those aren’t exactly appetizing (or safe) for people. If you want to enjoy some popsicles, just make some in separate trays and use a wooden or reusable popsicle stick instead. That way, both you and your pup can enjoy a chilly, creamy treat together.

        Hi Renee, could you perhaps sub applesauce for the yogurt? I realize the consistency may not be the same but will it freeze like a pop?

          Yes, you can use applesauce instead of yogurt. Applesauce freezes incredibly well.
