I made these Frozen Chicken Blueberry Pup Pops as a cool homemade treat for my dog, and I love how simple, wholesome, and refreshing they are. They take just a few minutes to blend and pour, and once frozen, they become a fun snack my dog enjoys on warm days. I like that I can control every ingredient and keep the recipe clean and dog-friendly.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I enjoy this recipe because it uses basic ingredients I already keep at home, and it takes almost no effort to prepare. I appreciate how easily it freezes into convenient individual treats, making it perfect for dogs who enjoy something cold and soothing. I also like how flexible the recipe is—I can swap fruits or adjust the texture depending on what my dog prefers.
Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of Ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
1 cup cooked shredded chicken (unseasoned)
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1/2 cup plain unsweetened yogurt
1 tablespoon honey (optional and only for dogs over 1 year old)
Directions
I start by cooking the chicken if it isn’t already prepared. I boil it until fully cooked, let it cool, and shred it into small pieces.
I add the shredded chicken, chicken broth, blueberries, yogurt, and honey (if using) into a blender or food processor.
I blend the mixture until smooth and fully combined.
I pour the mixture into silicone molds or ice cube trays, leaving a bit of room at the top.
I sometimes drop a whole blueberry or two into each mold for texture.
I freeze the molds for 4 to 6 hours or until completely solid.
Once frozen, I pop the treats out of the molds and store them for easy use.
Servings And Timing
Prep time: about 10 minutes
Freeze time: 4 to 6 hours
Yield: about 12 pup pops depending on mold size
Variations
I swap blueberries with strawberries, bananas, or watermelon for different flavors.
I sometimes add 1 tablespoon of xylitol-free peanut butter for a richer taste.
For a creamier version, I use a little more yogurt and slightly less broth.
When making treats for a smaller dog, I use tiny molds to create small, easy-to-handle pops.
I leave the mixture slightly chunky if my dog enjoys texture instead of a smooth blend.
Storage/Reheating
I store the frozen pup pops in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 2 months.
Since these are meant to be eaten frozen, I don’t reheat them—I just take one out and serve it straight from the freezer.
If any pops are difficult to remove from the mold, I briefly run warm water on the outside of the mold to loosen them.
FAQs
Are these treats safe for all dogs?
I find them generally safe for most dogs, but if my dog has allergies or digestive issues, I consult a vet before introducing new ingredients.
Can I skip the yogurt?
Yes, I can replace the yogurt with a little unsweetened applesauce or extra broth if my dog is sensitive to dairy.
Can I use raw chicken instead of cooked?
I always use cooked chicken to ensure the treat is safe and free from harmful bacteria.
How many pops should I give my dog?
I usually give one pop at a time, adjusting for my dog’s size and calorie needs.
Can I make these without a blender?
Yes, if I chop everything very finely and mix vigorously, I can still get a workable texture, though blending creates the smoothest results.
Conclusion
I love making these Frozen Chicken Blueberry Pup Pops because they’re healthy, easy, and refreshing for my dog. They take little effort to prepare and store well, so I always have a homemade treat ready. Each time I make them, I enjoy experimenting with new flavors and shapes to keep things fun for my dog. If you’d like, I can help you adjust this recipe to your local ingredients or customize it even more.
