DIY: Make Your Dog a Squeeze Tube Fruit Smoothie
Editor’s Note: This week we are elated to bring you another installment for our #TOCDIY series, featuring our latest diy-er, Kira Burkhart, and her mini American Shepherd, Bailey (@wigglebutt_bailey on Instagram). Kira told TOC, “We love to go for nature walks and practicing recall, but it's a lot less fun handling stinky high value rewards with cold fingers. We started making these [squeeze tube smoothies] for snowy, windy, cold weather walks.” Keep scrolling for all of the steps to make your dog their very own squeeze tube fruit smoothie.

📎 The Supplies You’ll Need to Make Homemade Squeeze Tube Fruit Smoothies
Kira told TOC that Bailey’s absolute favorite walks are in the snow. “He would stay in the snow forever if he could, so squeeze tube smoothies are perfect when mittens or gloves are a must!”
Dog friendly fruit (e.g. bananas, raspberries)
Greek yogurt
Peanut butter
Water (as needed for getting the right texture)
A blender
A squeeze tube for the treat (e.g. travel sized toiletry bottles). You can find these in the travel toiletry section at the grocery store, CVS, or get them on Amazon.*
⏰ Time Commitment
Prep time: five minutes
✅ Step by Step: How to Make Your Dog Squeeze Tube Fruit Smoothie

Step Three: Add two spoonfuls of peanut butter.
Step Four: Blend until smooth! You can add some water if you want a thinner texture/consistency.
Step Five: Pour the smoothie into the squeeze tube.
Step Six: Treat your dog!
