10 Easy Frozen Treat Recipes Your Dog Will Love (Year-Round Enrichment!)
Frozen treats aren’t just for hot summer days. They’re one of the easiest ways to add enrichment, hydration, and happy tail wags into your dog’s daily routine.
And if you’re anything like me, you’ll have just as much fun making them as your pup has eating them. Frozen treat prep is basically the dog mom version of meal-prepping your own wellness snacks.
These recipes support digestion, calm energy, and natural nutrition… all while turning feeding time into a sensory experience your pup will obsess over.
Let’s get into the glow-up.
Why Frozen Treats Are So Good for Your Dog
Frozen enrichment is more than “just a cute moment." It’s backed by behavior science and dog wellness:
1. They keep your dog entertained longer.
Frozen textures make lick mats, slow feeders, and molds last much longer, giving your pup soothing, focused activity time.
2. They support hydration + digestion.
Fruit, broth, pumpkin, and yogurt naturally hydrate and help regulate the gut.
3. They activate the “calm” part of the brain.
Licking reduces stress and anxiety by activating the parasympathetic nervous system.
4. They’re the easiest way to sneak in nutrients.
Think goat milk, berries, spirulina, pumpkin… all disguised as treats.
Dog moms call this functional enrichment. We call it the Dog Mom Era glow. ✨
