Recipe and Instructions
To make these delicious pumpkin coconut oil dog treats frozen, you'll need just a few simple ingredients. Each recipe has only a few ingredients, all of which are dog-safe.
Here are the ingredients you'll need: pumpkin puree, yogurt, coconut oil, and a few cute little dog bone silicone molds. You can also add a plastic bottle with a 1/4 inch diameter opening to make filling the molds a breeze.
