Notes

Storage & Reheating:
Store the frozen treats in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag in the freezer for up to 3 months. Remember, these are occasional treats and should be fed in moderation. Always introduce new treats gradually and consult your veterinarian if your dog has allergies or special dietary needs.
Variations:
- Add 1/4 cup of mashed sweet potato for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Substitute the banana with 1/2 cup of pureed blueberries for a berry twist.
- Mix in small pieces of dog-safe fruits like apples or strawberries for added texture.
