  • Check with your vet before introducing new foods, especially if your dog has any health conditions or sensitivities.
  • Avoid ingredients toxic to dogs, such as xylitol (found in some peanut butter), garlic, grapes, raisins and onions.
  • Choose plain yogurt or Greek yogurt without added sugars or artificial sweeteners.
  • Always supervise your dog when they are enjoying a pupsicle to ensure they don't choke, especially with small pieces or "sticks".
