Pup-Ornaut Freeze-Dried Dog Ice Cream: Green Spirulina & Carrots
Item Details
These Christmas dog treats are the green Pup-Ornaut: freeze-dried dog ice cream made from nonfat Greek yogurt with carrots and green spirulina, and the bag has Christmas trees and Santas mixed in with the plain pieces. We make it in small batches in Malvern, Pennsylvania.
The green is the spirulina doing its job, and the carrot is in there for the yogurt to carry. Nothing else goes in. The bag is 1.5 oz (42 g), and each piece is about three bites for most dogs, so feed it as is.
Freeze-dried, not frozen
Pup-Ornaut starts as frozen yogurt and comes out of the freeze dryer light and crunchy, which means it rides in a glovebox or a coat pocket without a cooler. It is brittle by nature. Expect a chipped tree or two in the bag, the way a real one drops needles on the way into the house. The dog will not notice. It is made the same way as the banana peanut butter Pup-Ornaut, and it stays on the shelf past December, because green is only seasonal if you decide it is.
Day 2 of the advent calendar
This is Sage's pick in the 12 Days of Sniffmas advent calendar, and the pink one next to it in the lineup is the strawberry Pup-Ornaut. The rest of December is on the Christmas page. When a batch sells out the button here turns off, and we do not take orders ahead.
Feeding and storage
Feed as a treat, reward, or topper. Intended for Intermittent or supplemental feeding only. Always supervise while feeding and provide fresh drinking water. Not intended as a complete and balanced diet. Store in a cool, dry place, reseal after opening, and wash hands after handling. The bag is marked best by 10.2027. Yogurt is dairy, so this is not a single ingredient treat.
