With just 4 ingredients, including gelatin powder, blueberries, yogurt and water, blueberry jello is one of the easier dog treat recipes to make and if your dog takes medication in pill form, these are the perfect little DIY pill pockets

When I made the pumpkin gummy dog treats last year for Odin and Finn, I knew I wanted to experiment with making different flavored gummy dog treats. 

The possibilities of flavor combinations that you can use with plain gelatine and dog-safe fruits and vegetable are almost as endless as a frozen dog treat combinations

But of course, me being me, I had to try one of the harder combinations using frozen wild blueberries. 

It would be a lot easier to use fresh blueberries for gelatin treats but apparently, I was up for a challenge because someone told me that it wouldn’t work.

I’m happy to tell you that with a little trial and error and one instance of me tripping over a dog gate and spilling blueberries all over the carpet, I found a way to make decent blueberry gelatin dog treats. 

The hard part was finding the right ratio of gelatin and liquid and the key was thawing the frozen blueberries before blending them with the plain Greek yogurt. 

Before we get to the detail of this recipe I wanted to mention that not all dogs like gelatin treats usually due to the texture. 

Lou is definitely not a fan,  Finn is still trying to figure out if he likes them or not but Odin gives them 2 thumbs up. 

Odin has recently started vomiting after eating frozen dog treats so these are a good substitution.

Can Dogs Have Gelatin?

Most dogs can safely have unflavored gelatin but it’s important to not give them flavored gelating or any sugar-free Jell-O because it could contain xylitol which is toxic to dogs. 

My dogs can have plain gelatin but if you have any questions about giving it to your dog,  you should check with your vet to make sure. 

What Type Of Gelatin To Use To Make Jell-O For Dogs?

For this recipe, I used Knox unflavored gelatin but you can also use beef or chicken gelatin which contains a lot more benefits. 

Great Lakes Gelatin is a popular choice amongst dog owners BUT beef gelatin is different than Knox unflavored gelating so you would need to adjust the ingredients.

Additional Notes

You can also store these in the freezer so they last longer but you’ll have to feed them to your dog frozen because gelating doesn’t thaw well. 

Your set-up time in the fridge might vary based on how big your molds are. 

The more gelatin you use, the firmer the treat will be. If you want more jell-o consistent treats, use less gelating powder. 

This recipe made 24 gelatin dog treats for us but I used different-sized molds so the amount you get might vary.
