Description
These Cucumber Mint Paw Treats are refreshing frozen homemade dog treats made with cucumber, plain Greek yogurt, and a tiny amount of fresh mint. They are easy to make, perfect for warm days, and shaped into adorable paw treats.
Ingredients
- 1 cup chopped cucumber
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2–3 small fresh mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional)
- 1–2 tablespoons water (if needed)
Instructions
- Wash and chop the cucumber. Peel if desired and remove large seeds if necessary.
- Add the cucumber, Greek yogurt, mint leaves, and optional parsley to a blender or food processor.
- Blend until smooth and creamy, adding 1–2 tablespoons of water only if needed.
- Place a silicone paw mold on a tray and carefully pour the mixture into each cavity.
- Tap the mold gently to remove air bubbles.
- Freeze for at least 3–4 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Remove the frozen treats from the mold and store in a freezer-safe container.
- Serve one small frozen paw treat as an occasional snack.
Notes
These treats are intended as an occasional snack and are not a substitute for dental care. Always use plain unsweetened Greek yogurt with no xylitol. Use only a very small amount of fresh mint—never peppermint oil, mint extract, or essential oils. Store frozen for up to 2 months.
