If your dog loves cold treats on a warm day, these cucumber honeydew frozen dog treats are an easy one to add to your freezer stash.
They’re made with just three simple ingredients: cucumber, honeydew melon, and plain Greek yogurt. Everything gets blended together, poured into silicone molds, and frozen. That’s it.
I especially like frozen dog treats because you can make a batch ahead of time and keep them in the freezer for whenever your dog deserves a little something extra. Which, according to Luna, is approximately every five minutes.

Why I Like This Recipe
There’s a lot to like about this recipe, but the simplicity is probably my favorite part.
You only need three ingredients, and there’s no baking or complicated prep involved. Chop everything, toss it in the blender, and freeze.
I also like that you can make the treats whatever size works for your dog. Smaller silicone molds are great when you want a quick little treat, while larger molds work well when you want something that takes a bit longer to eat.
And, of course, they’re cold. On a hot day, pulling a homemade frozen treat out of the freezer feels like a fun way to give your dog something special without turning it into an all-day project.
Ingredients
- 1 cup English cucumber
- 1 cup honeydew melon
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
Ingredient Notes
Cucumber
I use English cucumber for this recipe. Give it a good wash before chopping it into pieces for the blender.
Since everything gets pureed, the pieces don’t need to be pretty or perfectly even. Just cut them small enough that your blender or food processor can handle them easily.
Honeydew Melon
Honeydew gives these treats a little natural sweetness. Remove the rind and seeds before cutting the melon into chunks.
I measure the honeydew after removing the rind and seeds and chopping it into chunks.
Plain Greek Yogurt
Use plain Greek yogurt without added sweeteners or flavorings. Check the ingredient label before using yogurt in homemade dog treats, and avoid products containing xylitol.
Not every dog tolerates dairy well, either. If Greek yogurt is new to your dog or you know dairy doesn’t agree with them, this may not be the right recipe for them. Every dog is different, so do what works for your dog.
Directions
Wash and chop the cucumber and honeydew melon.
Add the cucumber, honeydew, and Greek yogurt to a blender or food processor.
Blend until smooth.
Spoon or pour into silicone molds. I like these paw and bone shaped molds for smaller treats, and these paw shaped molds for larger treats.
Place in the freezer for at least 4 hours or until frozen.
Once frozen, remove the treats from the molds.
Don’t skip the most important step! Let your dog try one. This is Luna’s favorite step of the process!
Place the rest of the treats in an airtight container, like a freezer bag, and store in the freezer for up to 4 months.
Tips
Place silicone molds on a cookie sheet before filling to make transferring to the freezer easier and less messy.
I like to freeze my treats overnight to make sure they are fully frozen.
Always consult your vet before giving your dog a new food, especially if they have any health conditions or allergies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can dogs eat cucumber?
Plain cucumber can be given to dogs in moderation. I use English cucumber in this recipe because the seeds are small and don’t need to be removed. Other varieties of cucumber can also be used, but you may need to remove any large seeds first.
Can dogs eat honeydew melon?
Dogs can have the flesh of honeydew melon in moderation. Remove the rind and seeds before using it in homemade dog treats.
Honeydew contains natural sugar, so portion size matters, especially if your dog has a health condition that affects what they should eat. When in doubt, check with your veterinarian.
Can dogs eat Greek yogurt?
Some dogs can eat plain Greek yogurt, while others don’t tolerate dairy well. Choose an unflavored, unsweetened Greek yogurt and check the ingredient list carefully before giving it to your dog.
If your dog hasn’t had yogurt before, start small and see how they handle it.
Can I make these without silicone molds?
Yes. Silicone molds make frozen treats easy to portion and remove, but you don’t need cute paw-shaped treats for your dog to appreciate your culinary efforts.
Use another freezer-safe container that allows you to create appropriately sized portions for your dog. Ice cube trays work well and are something many people already have.
How long do homemade frozen dog treats last?
I store these cucumber honeydew treats in an airtight freezer-safe container or freezer bag for up to four months.
How many frozen treats can I give my dog?
That depends on the size of the treats, your dog’s size, their regular diet, and their individual needs.
Treats should generally make up no more than 10% of your dog’s daily calories. If you’re not sure how a particular treat fits into your dog’s diet, your veterinarian can help you figure out an appropriate amount.

Final Thoughts
These cucumber honeydew frozen dog treats are exactly the kind of homemade recipe I like: simple ingredients, minimal prep, and easy to keep on hand in the freezer.
They’re a fun option for warm days, or anytime you want to give your dog a cold treat without spending a lot of time in the kitchen.
As always, every dog is different. Pay attention to the ingredients and portion sizes that work for your dog, and talk to your veterinarian if you have questions about adding something new to their diet.
Then all that’s left is the taste test. If your dog is anything like Luna, I don’t think you’ll have trouble finding a volunteer.
