Ingredients for Frozen Strawberry Banana Bites
To make these treats, you only need:

1 ripe banana – Bananas are full of potassium, fiber, and natural sweetness.
½ cup fresh strawberries – Low in calories and high in antioxidants.
½ cup plain yogurt – Greek yogurt or regular plain yogurt works, as long as it’s unsweetened and free from xylitol.
Optional Add-ins:
1 tablespoon peanut butter (Make sure it’s xylitol-free for dog safety.)
1 tablespoon honey (Adds a touch of natural sweetness.)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
Wash the strawberries thoroughly to remove any pesticides or dirt. If you’re using organic strawberries, a quick rinse will do. Slice them into halves or quarters to make blending easier. Peel the banana and slice it into small pieces.

Step 2: Blend Until Smooth
In a blender or food processor, combine the strawberries, banana, and yogurt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If you want a chunkier texture, pulse the blender a few times instead of running it continuously.

Step 3: Pour into Molds
Spoon the mixture into silicone molds or ice cube trays. If you don’t have molds, you can use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and drop spoonfuls onto it like little frozen "cookies."

Step 4: Freeze Until Solid
Place the molds or trays into the freezer and let them sit for at least 3-4 hours, or until fully frozen. Once solid, pop the treats out of the molds and store them in an airtight container in the freezer.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!
Whenever your pup needs a refreshing treat, simply take one or two bites out of the freezer and let them enjoy! Just be mindful of portion sizes—while these are healthy, they should still be given in moderation.

Dehydrated Watermelon Jerky for Dogs

Ingredients
2 cups seedless watermelon slices, cut into thin strips about ¼ inch thick.

Supplements
Optional: a sprinkle of finely chopped mint leaves for fresh breath and digestion support.
