When the NYC summer heat kicks in, your furry friend deserves a refreshing treat just as much as you do. That’s where our frozen peach and chicken bites recipe comes in — a healthy, cooling, and downright delicious snack that’s perfect for pups of all sizes. These DIY frozen dog treats are packed with protein, vitamins, and flavor to keep tails wagging all summer long.
Why Peaches & Chicken?
Peaches are a sweet, low-calorie fruit rich in fiber, vitamin A, and vitamin C — all great for your dog’s immune system and digestion. Chicken, a lean source of protein, supports muscle growth and energy. When combined, they make a flavorful and nutritious duo that dogs love. Just make sure the peaches are fresh, pitted, and free of added sugars or syrups.

1 cup cooked chicken breast (shredded)

1 ripe peach (peeled, pitted, and chopped)

½ cup plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened, non-fat)

How to Make Frozen Peach & Chicken Bites
-
Prepare the ingredients
Cook and shred the chicken. Peel and chop the peach into small chunks. -
Blend it up
In a blender or food processor, combine the chicken, peach, yogurt, and water or broth. Blend until smooth, or leave a little texture for added crunch. -
Pour and freeze
Pour the mixture into a silicone mold or ice cube tray. Freeze for at least 3 hours or until solid. -
Serve and store
Pop out a bite-sized piece for your pup to enjoy! Store the rest in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 weeks.
Tips for Success

Final Bark
Homemade treats are a great way to show love and attention to your pup. Just remember: treats should complement a balanced diet, not replace meals. Always consult with your vet before introducing new foods, especially if your dog has dietary restrictions or allergies.
