Are Strawberries Good for Dogs?
Yes — strawberries are one of the safest fruits you can share with your dog. They are low in calories, high in fiber, and rich in vitamin C and antioxidants that support a healthy immune system. Always remove the green tops, chop the berries to a safe size, and keep servings small, since fruit sugar adds up fast.
1. Berry Heart Biscuits
These crunchy heart-shaped biscuits get their pink color straight from mashed strawberries. They hold their shape well and make an adorable homemade gift.

How Many Treats Can My Dog Have?
Treats should stay under 10% of your dog’s daily calories. As a rough guide: small dogs 1–2 treats per day, medium dogs 2–3, large dogs 3–4. The pea-sized training bites are the exception — 8–10 during a training session is fine. Always start with one treat of any new recipe and watch for tummy upset.
Storage Guide
Baked biscuits keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, in the fridge for 2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Frozen treats store in zip-lock bags in the freezer for up to 3 months. Always cool baked treats completely before storing, since trapped warmth softens the crunch.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are strawberry dog treats safe for puppies?
Yes, for puppies over 8 weeks old. Serve small portions and supervise frozen treats, since puppies can be enthusiastic chewers.
Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh?
Absolutely. Thaw them first and drain excess liquid before mashing or dicing, so the dough does not get too wet.
Can dogs eat strawberry tops and leaves?
The green tops are not toxic but can be hard to digest. It is best to hull strawberries before using them in treats.
Can I make these treats grain-free?
Yes — swap whole wheat flour for oat or chickpea flour in a 1:1 ratio. The texture will be slightly softer, so add a few extra minutes of bake time.
How do I stop frozen treats from cracking in the molds?
Tap the filled mold firmly on the counter to release air bubbles before freezing, and run warm water over the back of the mold for 10 seconds when unmolding.
