Puppy Ice Cream
This homemade dog ice cream recipe with yogurt, peanut butter, and bacon is just the thing for your favorite friend!
A while ago, I made my best sous-chef (my Yellow Lab, Scout) some homemade Peanut Butter Dog Treats. Since then, I’ve been brainstorming ideas for other dog-friendly treats to make for her.
This puppy ice cream was a huge success for her. She especially loved the bacon! This ice cream freezes really well, so I have more waiting for her in the freezer. She’ll thank me once the summer heat rolls in.
Ingredients
- Peanut Butter: Go for a creamy version instead of chunky, and natural ingredients instead of processed. I used Smuckers Natural.
- Plain Yogurt: I recommend using Greek yogurt because it has significantly less lactose than regular yogurt.
- Bacon Bits: This ingredient is optional, but your dog will love it!
Trademark note: In the spirit of transparency, please note that Smucker’s is a proprietary brand that I want to acknowledge and give credit to.

Can dogs eat ice cream?
Dogs should not be fed regular “human” ice cream. They have different digestive systems than us, so they can’t digest dairy very well. Sugar, chocolate, and too much lactose can cause problems including gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, or vomiting.
But that’s why we have this delicious doggie ice cream recipe, so they can enjoy it too!
How is this different than regular ice cream?
Besides the ingredients, this dog ice cream recipe is softer and easier to scoop than other frozen treats. That makes it a great choice for dogs that tend to scarf treats whole or for senior dogs with limited teeth. Overall, it’s just easier to eat and digest!
How do you make puppy ice cream sandwiches?
Add in some Peanut Butter Dog Treats and make an ice cream sandwich! Scout is a fan, without a doubt!
To make an ice cream sandwich for dogs, place a scoop of this dog-friendly ice cream between two dog treats, scrape the excess off the sides, and freeze again to help them set.
Your pup is absolutely going to LOVE this homemade dog ice cream! So you won’t have to worry about them watching you and begging for a bite of yours when dessert time comes around. Everyone gets a treat!
