🐾 Tasty Tuesday: Golden Glow Pup Pops

At Paisley’s Posh Paws, we believe treats should do more than taste good — they should support your dog’s overall wellness. Today’s Tasty Tuesday recipe is a favorite around here because it’s simple, functional, and gentle enough for most dogs, including those with sensitive skin or digestion.

These Golden Glow Pup Pops are especially wonderful for dogs who struggle with itchiness, seasonal allergies, or tummy sensitivities, and they also make an excellent enrichment activity after grooming, training, or playtime.

🌿 Why Functional Treats Matter

Many commercial dog treats are loaded with unnecessary fillers, artificial flavors, and preservatives that can contribute to skin irritation, digestive upset, and inflammation over time. When you offer a treat made with whole, purposeful ingredients, you’re supporting:

• Healthy digestion

• Balanced gut flora

• Improved skin and coat condition

• Natural hydration

• Mental enrichment and calm behavior

• 
  

This recipe focuses on digestive support first, which is often the root cause of skin and coat issues in dogs.

🥣 Ingredients & Their Benefits

🐕 Plain Unsweetened Greek Yogurt

A natural source of probiotics, yogurt helps support a healthy gut microbiome. A balanced gut can reduce inflammation, improve nutrient absorption, and support immune health — all of which show up externally as healthier skin and coat.

Tip: Always choose plain, unsweetened yogurt with no xylitol or artificial sweeteners.

🎃 Pure Pumpkin Purée

Pumpkin is rich in soluble fiber, making it a gentle digestive regulator. It can help firm loose stools or ease mild constipation, which is why it’s commonly recommended for dogs with sensitive stomachs.

Pumpkin also contains beta-carotene and antioxidants that support overall wellness.

🍯 Raw Local Honey (optional)

When used in small amounts, raw honey may help support seasonal allergy relief by gently exposing the body to local pollen. It also adds natural sweetness and trace minerals.

Important: Skip honey for puppies under one year old.

🦴 Bone Broth or Filtered Water

Bone broth adds hydration, collagen, and minerals, making these treats especially beneficial for senior dogs or active pups. If your dog has dietary restrictions, filtered water works just as well.

🐾 How to Make Golden Glow Pup Pops

Instructions:

1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix until smooth

2. Spoon mixture into silicone molds or ice cube trays

3. Freeze for 2–3 hours (or until fully set)

4. Serve as a cooling snack, reward, or enrichment treat

These can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

🧠 Enrichment Tip

Frozen treats aren’t just snacks — they’re mental enrichment. Licking and slow consumption help dogs regulate emotions, reduce stress, and engage their brains in a calming way. These are especially helpful for:

• Post-grooming decompression

• Crate or quiet time

• Hot days

• Dogs with anxiety or high energy

•
