These ice pups can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Remember to only offer your dog treats in moderation.
*Make sure your yoghurt doesn’t contain any sweeteners or flavourings that could be harmful for your dog. Also, if your dog cannot tolerate dairy, coconut yoghurt is a great alternative to opt for.
