Pumpkin Dog Treats Recipe

Your dogs are going to love these pumpkin dog treats! They are easy and healthy to make with a few dog friendly ingredients.

Fall brings so many yummy new fruits and vegetables, we thought it would be a great idea to share some with those wonderful 4-legged friends that are part of our families.  

These pumpkin dog treats are easy to make and a great cost savings compared to what we buy at the store. Plus, they are so much healthier.  Let’s give our pups a little love for all they do to support us. 

How to Make These Pumpkin Dog Treats for your Pup:

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 (15 oz.) can pumpkin purée or roast your own and purée in a blender
• 1/3 cup dry milk powder
• 5 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 tbsp. fish oil (or canola oil or peanut oil)
• ¼ cup water
• parchment paper

DIRECTIONS:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large mixing bowl, stir together all ingredients until dough comes together (don’t overmix!).
• Use a rolling pin to roll dough to 1/4” thickness on lightly-floured surface.  
• Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes or cut into squares or bars, the right size for your dog.
• Place your pumpkin dog treats on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 15 minutes.
• Flip the treats and continue baking until hard, about 30 to 40 minutes total.

See how easy these Pumpkin Dog Treats are?  I hope your pups love them as much as ours.  (You can actually eat them yourselves, you know).
