The best dog ice cream & other frozen dog treats you can buy in the UK (top 4)

July 10, 2023 /

When the summer hits, we all look for ways to cool down. Ice cream is not just really tasty, it can also help to cool us down and refresh us when the sun is really beating down. It's a great solution for humans, but for dogs, it's a no-go. Unfortunately, ice cream made for humans is just too high in fat and sugar for dogs to consume. That's why we love the concept of dog ice cream - this product allows our furry friends to enjoy a cold treat on a sunny day alongside us, without consuming all of the sugar and fat that's packed in our ice cream. As we enter summer, we thought it would be useful to round up the best dog ice cream and other frozen dog treats that you can buy in the UK, let's get into it:

Frozzys

Frozzys is a frozen yoghurt treat for dogs, which has all the taste and refreshment of something like ice cream for dogs, just without all the bad stuff. Frozzys is low in calories and fat, and is also totally lactose free. So if your dog tends to get an upset stomach from certain dairy products then giving them Frozzys could be a great alternative. The product is also enriched with probiotics which provide a host of gut benefits and also help with digestion. Another great thing about this frozen yoghurt is that it doesn't melt as quickly as ice cream, so if your dog is a slow eater (there aren't many of those, admittedly) then this frozen yoghurt is ideal for them. Flavours included Mixed Berry and Banana & Honey, learn more and buy the product here - jollyes.co.uk

Scoop's 

Scoop's is a brand of dog ice cream that you'll see sold up and down the country, and it seems to be a hit with both dogs and owners alike. Made using reduced lactose milk from Marshfield Farm, it's available in either Vanilla or Mint flavour, with each containing a different blend of benefits. The vanilla ice cream is made using a natural joint supplement, and the mint variety is made using a natural breath freshener with chlorophyll & Omega 3 to help tackle bacteria in the mouth and gut (and to help with that dog breath). Marshfield Farm actually makes ice cream for humans too, so you know that this brand knows what they're doing when it comes to ice cream. Learn more and buy it here - marshfield-icecream.co.uk

Barke Farm from Yarde Farm Ice Cream

Produced by the Yarde Farm Ice Cream company in Plymouth, the Barke Farm dog ice cream is another brand which you'll see stocked widely across the UK. What's interesting about this dog ice cream is that it's entirely plant-based and made without any dairy. Instead, it's made using fruit purée and vegetable fats. The benefit of this is that not only does it make the ice cream lower in fat and calories compared to other dog ice cream on the market, but it also makes it easier for dogs to digest. We'd almost describe it as more of a sorbet than ice cream, but it's still a frozen treat that your dog will love. Learn more and buy it here - yardefarmicecream.co.uk

Pupsicle

If you want to avoid dairy completely and you'd like to be able to make your own frozen treats for your dog at home, then these Pupsicle moulds from Suck UK are a great option. These silicone moulds are designed to be filled with things like peanut butter and yogurt, then popped in the fridge and allowed to set. Once they're ready, your dog has an instant frozen treat. We love that the moulds are shaped like bones, which adds a bit more fun for your dog. Learn more and buy it here - amazon.co.uk
