Sometimes when it’s hot out, I’m too tired and lazy to do much of anything expect lay in front of the fan. These ridiculous easy frozen dog treats are easy enough for anyone (and I mean ANYONE) to make and the dogs love them. They’re also great for dogs with allergies or dietary restrictions.
Ingredients:
- 1 - 13 oz. can dog food of your choice. We prefer the premium varieties that are grain-free with lots of meat!
- 2 medium plastic freezer bag
- That's. It.
Instructions
Spoon the canned food into your plastic bags splitting it into two equal portions.
Press out the extra air and seal the bag. Lay the bag flat and use your hands to press the food into an even(ish) layer.
Lay flat in the freezer and freeze for 20 - 30 minutes, until slight firm, but still pliable. Using a shish kabob skewer, a spatula or the back of a butter knife, press lines into the canned food, creating a pattern of evenly spaces squares on the surface of the food.
Return the bag to the freezer until frozen solid. Once frozen, gently snap into bite sized pieces that are easy to pull out and give to your dog, no fuss/no muss.
Sometimes Koly and Fe think the simplest treats are the best. You don’t have to buy fancy dog ice creams or bake crazy treats to share a healthy frozen dog treat with your favourite Fido.
These canned food frozen dog treats are super easy and your dog will love them.

What an awesome idea!! Now, why didn’t I think of that?? I’m with you…in the summer…I want to either stand IN the freezer or at the very least as close to the fan as possible!! Bet Chloe and LadyBug will love these treats! Thanks for the suggestion!!
LOL, if I thought I could cram myself in the freezer, that is totally where I would be.
Fantastic idea! Quick & easy, too. sharing.
Thank you. Sometimes it pays to be lazy 😉
This is a fantastic idea! It’s so simple and yet it never occurred to me. Vince, Leela, and Cooper are in for a real (cool) treat!
You know, it never occurred to me before now either, but they love it!
You’re a GENIUS!!!
Ha ha ha ha that seems a little strong. I don’t know about *genius*. LOL
That is very simple and most likely quite tasty!
If you’re a dog yes. For humans? “tasty” might be an overstatement.
This is such a great idea!! We’re all about simple treats over here so this works for us!
What a great snack for hot days. Thanks for the pictures and idea! Happy Tasty Tuesday – Petnet(io)
Thank you! Happy Tasty Tuesday!!
I’m super lazy when it comes to being in the kitchen, but I think even *I* can handle this! And I have some Newman’s Own organic canned food that would be super easy to moosh out into a single layer! And I think even my super picky girl will love this!
Seriously, even when I’m lazy, I can make these. If you use a plastic spoon, they don’t even make dishes. LOL
Would it work if I put it in my paw print mold?? It sounds terrific! ☺
110% absolutely YES it will work if you put it into silicone moulds. I was just too lazy to do dishes after 😉
Great tip.
Why have I never thought of this?!
The same reason I never did until now? It’s too easy and obvious. Isn’t making dog treats at home supposed to be hard?
