🐾 Why We Love These Treats (And Why Your Pup Will Too)

These sweet potato yogurt pupsicles are packed with digestive-friendly fiber and probiotic-rich yogurt, making them a healthy and soothing option for most dogs. If your pup is anything like Monty — food-obsessed, sensitive-stomached, and slightly dramatic when the treat jar’s empty — they’ll love this gentle, frozen snack that doubles as a nutrition boost.

Here’s why they’re such a hit:

Only two ingredients. Nothing weird, no fillers, no preservatives.
Gut-friendly. Sweet potato is gentle on digestion and full of fiber.
Full of goodness. Greek yogurt brings probiotics, calcium, and a creamy texture dogs go wild for.
Budget-friendly. You probably already have these in your fridge.
Great for hot days. Serve frozen to cool down overheated pups in summer.
No baking required. If you’re not in the mood to preheat the oven, this recipe’s a dream.

This combo also happens to be vet-approved in many homemade dog food recipes. It’s a great base for those looking to try natural dog treats recipes without all the fluff — or the mess. They’re also a solid option for older dogs or those missing teeth since the texture is gentle and melts in the mouth.

🍠 What You’ll Need

Ingredients:

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened, no xylitol)
1/2 cup cooked, mashed sweet potato (no seasoning, skin removed)

That’s it! Really. No baking, no chilling, no standing mixer required.

Helpful Tools:

Blender or food processor (optional but makes it smoother)
Silicone treat molds (bones or paws are a cute bonus!)
Freezer-safe tray or container
Small spoon or piping bag for pouring

No Molds? No Problem: If you don’t have silicone molds, an ice cube tray works just fine — your dog isn’t picky about presentation. But if you’re anything like me, you’ll appreciate the Pinterest-worthy vibes 😉 Keep this in mind when gathering your tools!

🧊 How to Make Sweet Potato Yogurt Dog Treats

1. Cook the sweet potato.
Boil, steam, or microwave until fork-tender. Let cool slightly, then peel and mash. I usually make a bit extra and save it for Monty’s dinner.

2. Blend it up.
Combine sweet potato and yogurt in a blender or processor until smooth and creamy. You can also whisk it by hand — it’s rustic, but it works 😉

3. Pour and freeze.
Spoon or pipe the mixture into your molds or tray compartments, then freeze for a few hours or overnight until completely solid.

4. Store.
Pop out the treats and store them in a freezer-safe container or bag. They’ll keep for about 2–3 weeks. Just be sure to label them — or you might end up confusing them with your smoothie cubes (ask me how I know… 😅).

🐶 Personal Tip from Monty (The Real Taste Tester)

Monty has a sensitive tummy, so we’re always cautious with new treats. This one? Zero issues. He even waits by the freezer now. It’s honestly adorable. If your dog struggles with store-bought treats, this gentle recipe might just be your game-changer.

Want to mix it up? Try swapping in a bit of banana, pumpkin purée, or even a tiny spoonful of unsweetened applesauce. Just stick with dog-safe fruits and veggies, and avoid anything with added sugar, artificial sweeteners (especially xylitol), or spices.

Monty’s Tip: These also work well as “pup ice cubes” to drop into your dog’s water bowl during warm weather — a fun and refreshing way to encourage hydration on hot days!

❓FAQs about Sweet Potato Yogurt Dog Treats

1. Can dogs eat sweet potato and yogurt together?

Yes! Both are dog-safe (when plain and unsweetened). Together, they’re gentle on digestion and rich in nutrients like potassium, calcium, and probiotics.

2. Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek?

You can, but Greek yogurt is thicker, tangier, and higher in protein. Just make sure it’s plain and doesn’t contain any artificial sweeteners like xylitol.

3. How long do these treats last in the freezer?

About 2–3 weeks if stored in a sealed container or freezer bag. If your dog doesn’t devour them before then!

4. Can I add other ingredients to this recipe?

Absolutely! Try dog-safe add-ins like banana, pumpkin, a pinch of turmeric, or a few crushed blueberries. Just avoid added sugars, salt, and spices.

5. Are sweet potatoes good for dogs with allergies?

Often, yes — they’re a common ingredient in hypoallergenic dog foods and treats. But always double-check with your vet if your dog has known sensitivities.

6. Can I make these in bulk?

Definitely! You can easily double or triple the recipe and use multiple trays. It’s a great weekend prep idea for the month ahead.
