My dogs love the following treat, especially on the hot days of summer.
32 oz. plain yogurt
1 ripened banana, mashed
2 Tablespoons natural peanut butter
2 Tablespoons honey
1 ripened banana, mashed
2 Tablespoons natural peanut butter
2 Tablespoons honey
Add all ingredients into a blender and mix until smooth. Pour mixture into ice trays and freeze.
While any old peanut butter you have around will do, I recommend natural peanut butter available at most grocery or natural food stores because they contain less sugar than the usual stuff. Just a note, the live cultures in yogurt create lactase, an enzyme in which lactose-intolerant people (or puppies) are deficient; and aid in the digestion of casein, a milk protein. So while most dairy products aren’t good for dogs, plain yogurt is a lot gentler to the tummy. I also throw in fruit and take out the peanut butter. Dogs love blueberries and strawberries.

I hope they enjoy! My dogs sure do. =) The picture is of my oldest Golden, Lexy, celebrating her 11th birthday this July!
