Froyo for Furriends: Why Freeze-Dried Yogurt Bites Are a Tummy-Friendly Treat for Dogs and Cats

Froyo night, but make it pet-friendly! Our Freeze-Dried Yogurt Bites are light, creamy little clouds that dogs and cats go wild for. They're made with just four simple ingredients and designed with happy tummies in mind.

In this post, we'll cover whether yogurt is safe for pets, what makes these bites different, and the best ways to share them with your furry family.

Can Dogs and Cats Eat Yogurt?

It's one of the most common questions pet parents ask, and the short answer is yes, in moderation, as long as it's the right kind of yogurt.

Many yogurts made for people contain added sugar, artificial sweeteners or flavourings that pets don't need. Some sweeteners, like xylitol, are toxic to dogs. Plain yogurt with a short ingredient list is a much better choice. That's exactly what we built our Yogurt Bites around.

Many adult pets digest lactose less easily, so we chose dairy that's naturally gentler:

• Greek yogurt is strained, which makes it naturally lower in lactose than regular yogurt.
• Goat milk has long been a go-to for pet parents whose pets have sensitive stomachs.

Just Four Ingredients. That's the Whole List.

We believe you should be able to read every ingredient in your pet's treats without a dictionary. Here's everything inside a bag of Yogurt Bites:

1. Greek yogurt: creamy, tangy, and a source of protein and calcium.
2. Organic sweet potato powder: adds gentle, natural fibre to help keep digestion comfortable.
3. Organic chicory root inulin: a prebiotic fibre (more on that below).
4. Goat milk powder: extra creaminess, protein and calcium.

There are no fillers, no added sugars and no preservatives. It's the same ingredient-first approach we take with our single-ingredient treats.

What Is a Prebiotic, and Why Does It Matter?

Your pet's gut is home to trillions of bacteria. Many of them are "good" bacteria that support digestion. Prebiotics are a type of fibre that feeds those good bacteria and helps them thrive.

Chicory root inulin is one of the best-known natural prebiotic fibres. Our Yogurt Bites combine it with the fibre in sweet potato, so they're more than just a tasty snack. They're a small, simple way to support your pet's everyday gut health.

Why Freeze-Dried?

Freeze-drying gently removes moisture at very low temperatures. It turns creamy yogurt into crisp, airy bites that melt in the mouth. The process:

• keeps the flavour and much of the nutrition of the original ingredients
• makes the treats shelf-stable without artificial preservatives
• creates a light, low-mess treat that's easy to carry on walks

Made for Dogs and Cats

Multi-pet household? Good news: our Yogurt Bites are made for both dogs and cats. The small, soft-crunch size suits little mouths, and the creamy flavour wins over even picky felines.

5 Ways to Share Yogurt Bites

• Training reward: Light and low-mess, so they're perfect for your treat pouch.
• Meal topper: Crumble a few over dinner to tempt picky eaters.
• Enrichment: Hide them in a snuffle mat or puzzle toy.
• Cool-down snack: A creamy little treat after a long walk or a summer day at the park.
• Just because: Because someone was being very, very cute.

Feeding Tips

Because these are a dairy treat, start with a bite or two and see how your pet responds, especially if they're new to dairy. As with all treats, keep them to about 10% of your pet's daily calories. If your pet has known food sensitivities, check with your veterinarian first. You may also find our guide on navigating pet allergies helpful.
