If you have blueberries and a little pumpkin puree on hand, these blueberry pumpkin frozen dog treats are an easy way to make something special for your dog.
They only need three ingredients: blueberries, pumpkin puree, and water. Blend everything together, pour it into molds, and let the freezer do the rest. There’s no baking or dough to deal with, so the actual hands-on time is pretty short.
Choose a mold size that works for your dog, then keep the finished treats in the freezer for whenever you want to give them one. The hardest part is waiting for them to freeze.

Why I Like This Recipe
It’s simple to make. The blender does most of the work, and once the treats are frozen, you can keep them in the freezer for later.
It uses just three ingredients. You may already have everything you need, especially if you have some leftover pumpkin puree to use up.
You can choose the mold size. Use smaller molds for little treats or larger molds for a bigger frozen snack. Do what works for your dog.
Ingredients
- 1 cup 100% pure pumpkin puree (NOT pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 cup blueberries
- ½ cup water
Ingredient Notes
Pumpkin puree
Use 100% pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. The cans can look pretty similar, so check the label before using it. Pumpkin pie filling can contain added sugar and spices that you don’t need for this recipe.
Blueberries
I used fresh blueberries, but fresh or frozen will work. If you use frozen blueberries, there’s no need to thaw them first. You can add them straight to the blender.
Water
The water helps everything blend together and makes the mixture easier to pour into the molds.
Directions
Add the blueberries, pumpkin puree, and water to a blender.
Blend until mostly smooth. You don’t need to keep blending until every little blueberry piece disappears.
Spoon or pour the mixture into silicone molds.
Freeze for at least 4 hours or until completely frozen. I usually leave mine overnight.
Once frozen, remove the treats from the molds.
Then it’s time for the most important step: the taste test. Luna is always happy to help with that part. 😂
Store the remaining treats in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 4 months.

Tips
Place your silicone molds on a cookie sheet before filling them. It makes transferring a floppy, full silicone mold to the freezer much easier.
After filling the molds, gently tap them on the counter to help remove any air bubbles.
Try not to blend the mixture longer than necessary. Blueberries contain natural pectin, and blending them too much can make the mixture thicker and more gel-like.
As with any new food, check with your veterinarian if you’re unsure whether these ingredients are a good choice for your dog, especially if your dog has a health condition or food allergy.
Treats should only be a small part of your dog’s overall diet. A common guideline is to keep treats to no more than 10% of your dog’s daily calories.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen blueberries?
Yes. Frozen blueberries work just as well as fresh ones. You may need to pause the blender and scrape down the sides if the frozen berries aren’t blending easily.
Do I need to thaw the treats before giving one to my dog?
No. I give these straight from the freezer. Every dog is different, though, so if a hard frozen treat isn’t a good fit for your dog, you can let it soften first.
Just keep in mind that these don’t hold their shape once they thaw completely. If you let one thaw for a while, put it on a plate or another surface your dog can lick from.
How many treats does this recipe make?
That depends entirely on the size of your silicone molds. Smaller molds will give you more treats per batch, while larger molds will give you fewer.
That’s one reason I don’t give a specific serving size for recipes like this. A tiny paw-shaped treat and a large bone-shaped treat can be very different sizes.
