Substitutions
If you're looking to make pumpkin yogurt dog treats, but want to substitute pumpkin with other ingredients, there are a few dog-friendly alternatives you can consider.
Keep in mind some dogs have allergies or sensitivities to certain foods, so always ensure that the substitutions you make are safe for your specific dog.
Here are some pumpkin substitutions:
- Sweet Potato - Sweet potatoes are a nutritious and dog friendly alternative to pumpkin. They provide vitamins, fiber, and a natural sweetness. You can use masked or pureed sweet potatoes in place of pumpkin in the recipe.
- Butternut Squash - Similar to sweet potatoes, butternut squash is a good source of vitamins and fiber. It can be cooked and masked or pureed to replace pumpkin in your dog treats.
- Carrots - Carrots are another dog friendly option. You can puree or finely grate carrots to use as a substitute. They provide vitamins and a pleasant crunch.
- Applesauce - Unsweetened applesauce can be a substitute for pumpkin and provides a natural sweetness. Be sure to use unsweetened, plain applesauce without added sugars or spices.
- Zucchini - Zucchini is a low calorie vegetable that you can puree and use as a pumpkin substitute. It's mild in flavor and packed with nutrients.
- Cauliflower - Cauliflower can be steamed and pureed to replace pumpkin. It's low in calories and provides dietary fiber.
While most of these substitutions can be made 1:1 for pumpkin. You may need to adjust he quantities to maintain the desired consistency of your dog treat mixture when using these substitutions.
Additionally, always introduce new ingredients gradually to your dog's diet to monitor for any adverse reactions or allergies.
When making substitutions, it's important to choose dog-safe options without added spices, seasonings, or ingredients that may be harmful to dogs.
Always prioritize your dog's health and dietary needs when making homemade dog treats.
Storage
Proper storage is crucial to keep homemade frozen yogurt dog treats fresh and sae for your furry friend.
I love the airtight containers (affiliate link) that are dog-safe. These containers will keep your dogs frozen yogurt dog treats for 6-8 weeks in a freezer.
When you're ready to give your dog a treat, take one or two out, let it sit for a couple of minutes than give it to your pup.
