These frozen dog treats combine peanut butter, coconut oil, canned pumpkin, cinnamon, and turmeric in a simple mix you can portion into a mold or ice cube tray. The recipe makes about 28 small treats, depending on the size of the portions. Before making a batch, check the peanut butter label for xylitol and plan to serve these rich treats sparingly.
Check the ingredients and portion size first
- Check peanut butter for xylitol. Xylitol can cause severe low blood sugar, seizures, or liver injury in dogs. Read the ingredient label every time; ingredients can vary among products, so do not rely on a brand name or flavor. If your dog may have eaten xylitol, contact a veterinarian or animal poison service immediately. Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine explains xylitol toxicity.
- Choose plain peanut butter. The American Kennel Club recommends unsalted peanut butter without added sugar and stresses checking for xylitol. Its frozen-treat guidance also advises appropriately small portions for toy breeds.
- Keep servings modest. These treats contain both peanut butter and coconut oil, so offer them occasionally and account for their calories. The recipe source cautions that excess coconut oil can cause diarrhea or pancreatitis. Ask your veterinarian for individualized advice if your dog has had pancreatitis, follows a prescribed diet, or has another health condition. The recipe and its coconut-oil caution are from Daily Paws.
Treat-calorie advice is not a single universal percentage. Cornell reports that many veterinary nutritionists recommend limiting treats to 10% of a dog’s total calories, especially during weight loss. Separately, Cornell quotes Joseph J. Wakshlag, section chief and professor of clinical nutrition, saying treats should be no more than 15% of daily calorie intake because they are often not complete and balanced foods. These are attributed guidelines, not a substitute for advice tailored to your dog. Read Cornell’s discussion of dog diet and treat calories.

How to make the treats
- Melt the peanut butter and coconut oil. Warm them together until melted, then stir until combined. Avoid overheating; the aim is simply to make the mixture pourable.
- Stir in the pumpkin and spices. Mix in the canned pumpkin, cinnamon, and turmeric until evenly distributed.
- Portion the mixture. Pour or spoon it into silicone treat molds or ice cube trays. Use small compartments, especially for a small dog, and leave room to remove the treats easily.
- Freeze until firm. Freeze for at least four hours, or until the portions are solid.
- Soften before serving. Let a treat stand for at least five minutes before offering it, so it softens slightly.
Storage and serving
Keep the treats tightly covered in the freezer for up to one month, as directed by Daily Paws. Remove only the portion you plan to serve and allow it to soften slightly before giving it to your dog. Because the treats are calorie-dense, start with a small piece and count it among your dog’s treats for the day.

Are these treats a complete food?
No. They are an occasional snack, not a complete and balanced diet. The pumpkin and spices do not change that, and the recipe does not establish a health benefit from coconut oil. For a dog with a medical condition or a prescribed diet, ask your veterinarian before adding the treats.
