| Frozen treats? I remember every Yorkie my mom ever had absolutely loving Frosty Paws frozen treats. I didn't know they were still made until I saw them in the store this afternoon. I also didn't realize they are made by Purina. Is there another pup friendly 'ice cream' type treat that is sold? With the full heat of summer coming on, it sure would be nice for a super special treat.

| My Wallee "loves" just plain ice cubes. I have been giving him them since I first got him and they both cool him down and help keep him hydrated. If the cube is too big when I take it from the tray I just run it under the water so it shrinks to a manageable size for him to pick up.He gets as excited about his "ice cubies" as any treat. Best part, they're free. |

| We tried the frosty paws years and years ago with our first dog and they made her puke and she had an iron stomach. There is a simple recipe for making your own some where maybe someone will post it.

| OMG, DUHHH! I keep Oikos Greek in the fridge all the time! I guess I need to hit the dollar store and pick up some ice cube trays, then. I've put peanut butter in his Kong, but it gets pretty yucky.

| I never knew that. Wow, even when they are small? Guess I better be more careful. Thanks for the tip. |

| Here's a recipe for making your own tasty paws type dog treat: Step 1 Place the banana in a blender or food processor. Add 32 ounces plain yogurt. Scoop 2 tsp. of peanut butter and 2 tsp. of honey into the mix. Alternatively, try goat's milk yogurt for a treat containing much less lactose. Step 2 Mix ingredients until well blended. Step 3 Round up paper cups, small plastic containers, ice cube trays or muffin tins to use as molds for the mixture. Pour small amounts into the cups, muffin tins or plastic containers. Aim for a hockey puck shape and thickness to resemble the original Frosty Paws size. Step 4 Fill an ice cube tray with the concoction to create handy bite-size pieces you can give to your dog when a regular-size frozen treat is too much. Step 5 Freeze the treats, then put them in a freezer bag for easy storage. -------- Step 1 Prepare the basic recipe as above, using 32 ounces of yogurt and banana and omit the honey and peanut butter. Step 2 Add 1/4 cup strawberries, cranberries or blueberries for an antioxidant boost for your pup. Step 3 Alternatively, add one can of pumpkin to the basic recipe and add 1/8 tsp. of carob powder. Step 4 Mix and pour the mixture in the same manner as the basic recipe, and freeze.

| Thanks for the recipe. Sam loves strawberries, and I nearly always have bananas on hand. But I wouldn't have a clue where to get goat's milk yogurt. I have a hard time just finding goat cheese around here.

| That's exactly what I do! I like to keep it simple. I found some mini- ice trays at Bed, Bath, and Beyond which has the perfect tiny cube size.
