Frozen mint + yogurt dog treats are your go-to breath freshener when your pup gets into something really gross! Pop out a few of these mint treats from the freezer and you’ll feel refreshed just seeing your pup licking away at them. I’m not one to really care about germs but I do get wary after seeing what my dog’s face gets into sometimes.
The grossest thing I’ve ever had to pull out of Luna’s mouth was a soggy used napkin. It’s just scary when you don’t know what the heck you’re touching! I’ve also had to pry her teeth off of chicken bones, used dental floss, and remnants of dead animals. Oh and I’ll never forget when she came running up to me and it looked like her face was full of cotton candy. Nope! It was a huge fluff ball from a husky that just got groomed.

Did You Know?
Greek yogurt is the best option for yogurt you can give your dog as long as they’re not lactose intolerant. It contains a higher level of probiotics and helps fight yeast infections for ear and skin infections. Stick with unflavored as the flavored ones will have more sugar. Sweeten naturally with fresh fruits!
Mint as a small dose can soothe your dog’s tummy aches. It can also help freshen breath while providing rich quantities of Vitamin A + C, good for bones, skin, and vision.
Tips & Tricks
* Keep treats in the freezer or they’ll melt.
* Even if you don’t have a blender, you can still make these yummy treats by hand. Chop and mix away!

October 25, 2019 at 3:48 amI found some Sauer’s brand pure mi t extract. Can it be used

October 25, 2019 at 10:41 amYes, pure mint extract can also be used. But using too much can also upset your dog’s stomach. Please read directions for dosage. As general rule, I follow this guideline. For every 1 tablespoon of fresh mint required by the recipe, substitute a half-teaspoon of mint extract. Hope this helps!

May 10, 2019 at 6:55 pmHi, I was wondering if you could use dried mint. The fresh herbs at the grocery store where I live are lacking.
Thanks,
Christina

May 10, 2019 at 8:14 pmHi Christina, yes dried mint will work as well! Depending on the size of your dried mint, you can lessen the amount. For example, if its really fine small pieces, try using around 1/4C loosely packed. It doesn’t have to be exact. You could also use a combination of mint and parsley as well.
Happy baking! Well, in this case, freezing 🙂
