If your dog thinks anything frozen automatically belongs to them, these Brutus Broth pupsicles are about as easy as homemade treats get.
Emi made a batch for Zola (the very enthusiastic and adorable taste-tester pictured here), using Brutus Broth, Greek yogurt, and coconut water. There’s no baking, no complicated prep, and no need to own a collection of dog-treat-making equipment that will eventually migrate to the back of a kitchen cabinet.
Basically, mix, pour, freeze, and let your dog handle quality control.

Brutus Broth Pupsicle Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup Brutus Broth
OR 1 Brutus Broth To Go packet mixed with 1 cup of water - 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup coconut water
Instructions
- Add the Brutus Broth, Greek yogurt, and coconut water to a bowl or measuring cup.
- Mix everything together until well combined.
- Pour the mixture into silicone molds, ice cube trays, or whatever freezer-safe molds you have handy.
- Freeze for about 4–5 hours, or until completely solid.
- Pop one out and serve it to your dog somewhere you don’t mind a little melting and licking.
Keep the remaining pupsicles frozen until you’re ready to use them.
A quick ingredient note: Make sure you’re using plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt and coconut water without added sweeteners. As always, check ingredient labels for xylitol (also sometimes called birch sugar), which is extremely toxic to dogs.
Why We Used Brutus Broth
You could make a basic frozen dog treat with yogurt and water, but the Brutus Broth is what turns these into something Zola actually has a reason to get excited about.
Brutus Broth is a dog-friendly bone broth made specifically with pets in mind, so you don’t have to worry about the onions, garlic, excessive sodium, and other ingredients that can make some human broths a bad choice for dogs.
It also adds flavor without requiring a laundry list of ingredients. That’s especially nice for a recipe like this, where the whole point is to make an easy frozen treat rather than spend an afternoon recreating something you could have bought at the pet store.
The To Go packets work particularly well here, too. Just mix one packet with a cup of water and use it in place of the prepared broth.
A Few Easy Variations
Once you’ve made the basic version, there’s plenty of room to play around with it. You could add a few blueberries, drop a small dog treat into each mold before freezing, or make smaller bite-sized pupsicles for little dogs.
Just keep portions reasonable. These are treats, not dinner (no matter what Zola may have to say on the subject).
And judging from Emi’s pictures, Zola appears to consider the recipe a success. That’s probably the only review that really matters around here.
