Pup-Ornaut Ice Cream: Freeze-Dried Frozen Treats Your Dog Will Launch For

Every dog deserves an ice cream moment. The problem with most "dog ice cream" is the mess, the melt, and sometimes a sketchy ingredient list. So we did what we do best — we freeze-dried it. Meet Pup-Ornaut Ice Cream: the intergalactic frozen treat that's light, mess-free, and made with ingredients you can actually pronounce.

What Is Pup-Ornaut Ice Cream?

Pup-Ornaut is our freeze-dried take on dog ice cream. Instead of a drippy scoop that melts before your dog can enjoy it, freeze-drying turns it into a light, airy, grab-and-go treat. No refrigeration needed, no puddle on the floor, no sticky paws in the car. Just crunch, flavor, and tail wags. It's small-batch, locally sourced when possible, and designed for pups who snack as hard as they play. Explore the whole Pup-Ornaut collection.

Why Freeze-Dried Ice Cream Just Makes Sense

  • Mess-free: nothing melts, so it's perfect for road trips and warm days.
  • Shelf-stable: no freezer or cooler required — toss it in the adventure bag.
  • Light and airy: a satisfying crunch that dogs find novel and fun.
  • Simple ingredients: we keep the recipes short and real.

Meet the Flavors

Banana & Peanut Butter

A classic combo for a reason. Banana brings natural sweetness and potassium, while dog-safe peanut butter adds protein and healthy fats. Just make sure any peanut butter your dog eats is xylitol-free — xylitol is toxic to dogs, as the American Kennel Club warns. Ours is made with pups in mind.

Blueberry

A little antioxidant boost for your adventure buddy. Blueberries are a dog-safe superfruit, and freeze-drying keeps them light and poppable. Grab the Blueberry Pup-Ornaut.

Pumpkin & Apple

Our cozy fall trio: organic apple, pumpkin, and creamy nonfat Greek yogurt — just three simple ingredients. Pumpkin is a gut-friendly favorite, apple adds crunch and fiber, and Greek yogurt brings a little protein. See the seasonal Pumpkin & Apple version.

Can't Decide? Try the Mission Pack

Our Mission Pack bundles all three flavors so your co-pilot can taste-test the whole galaxy.

Are These Ingredients Safe for Dogs?

We build Pup-Ornaut around dog-safe, simple ingredients — but it's always smart to know the fundamentals. Fruits like blueberries, apples (no seeds/core), and pumpkin are generally dog-friendly in moderation. The big things to avoid in any frozen treat are chocolate, grapes/raisins, and xylitol. The ASPCA keeps a current list of people-foods to avoid. As always, treats are extras — keep them to about 10% of daily calories.

Helpful Tips for Serving Frozen Treats

  • Start small with any new treat and watch for tummy agreement.
  • Portion for size — little dogs need little servings.
  • Pack it for adventures — since it's freeze-dried, it won't melt in the car.
  • Pair with hydration on hot days; a frozen-style treat is a fun reward, not a water substitute.
