How to Make Pet-Safe Ice Cream at Home
(3 Simple Recipes for Singapore’s Heat)
Dogs aren’t built for dairy—most are lactose-intolerant, so frozen yogurt > ice cream.
Singapore heat can be tough on our pups. While we reach for ice cream, dogs need their own safe version—minus the sugar, chocolate, and heavy dairy that upset their tummies.
Fun fact: Dogs aren’t built for dairy. Most are lactose-intolerant, which means regular ice cream can cause bloating or diarrhea. The better alternative? Frozen yogurt, fruit, and dog-safe ingredients that turn into refreshing, healthy treats.
Here are three simple recipes you can whip up at home.
Peanut Butter & Banana Delight
Ingredients
1 ripe banana
2 tablespoons xylitol-free peanut butter (*xylitol is poisonous to dogs and can sometimes be labeled as wood sugar, birch sugar, and birch bark extract)
½ cup plain unsweetened yogurt (lactose-free preferred to avoid tummy upsets)
Steps
Mash banana, peanut butter and yogurt with a blender or mix very well with a fork.
Spoon into ice cube trays or silicone moulds.
Freeze until it's slightly soft and fully hard.
Dogs go nuts for this combo—it’s creamy, sweet, and packed with potassium.
Watermelon & Coconut Ice Cubes
Ingredients
1 cup seedless watermelon (cubed)
½ cup coconut water (unsweetened)
Steps
Blend watermelon until smooth.
Mix in coconut water.
Pour into moulds or an ice tray.
Hack: Freeze in your dog's bowl (any bowl works) so it becomes a licking challenge that cools and entertains at the same time.
Broth Popsicles
Ingredients
1 cup no-sodium chicken/pork/beef broth
A few small carrot or meat chunks
Steps
Pour broth into moulds.
Drop carrot or meat pieces inside.
Freeze overnight.
This savoury option is perfect for dogs that don’t like sweet flavours.
Tips for Serving
Serve in moderation (1–2 cubes for small dogs, 3–4 for medium/large).
Always use xylitol-free peanut butter—(*xylitol is poisonous to dogs and can sometimes be labeled as wood sugar, birch sugar, and birch bark extract).
Avoid grapes, chocolate, artificial sweeteners, and too much dairy.
Use frozen treats as training rewards, cool-down snacks, or enrichment on hot days.

Final Thought
Making dog-safe ice cream at home is easy, healthy, and guaranteed to make tails wag. Whether it’s fruity cubes, creamy peanut butter swirls, or savoury broth pops, your pup gets a cooling reward—and you get peace of mind knowing exactly what’s inside.
Because in this heat, sharing a frozen treat isn’t just fun—it’s love, served chilled. 🐾🍦
