Snip the corner off the bag to pipe into the mold.Gently slide the ice cube trays or mold back and forth, tapping on the counter to remove air bubbles and smooth the top.Place in the freezer for at least three hours.

Notes
These treats can leave a mess on the floor! It's a good idea to serve them in your pet's dish or on a paper plate.
In this recipe, the amounts are not that important. It's the ratio that matters. You'll need equal amounts of pumpkin and yogurt (or applesauce, mashed bananas, etc.). Use a one-to-one ratio and your treats will be great.
