Autumn marks the season for all things pumpkin. Dogs, too, love
the taste of pumpkin. But since dogs can't join you in sipping that
pumpkin spiced latte, we've found some ways you can help them
enjoy the flavors of fall. Note: Make sure you offer only canned
pureed pumpkin, not canned pumpkin pie mix, which has added
sugars and spices. As with any treat, give your dog these snacks in
moderation.
Time For Treats
Peanut Butter and Pumpkin Dog Treats
Ingredients
• 2 cups flour
• 1 cup canned pumpkin
• 1/2 cup peanut butter (make sure it is Xylitol-free)
Directions: Preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, mix
together the pumpkin and peanut butter. Stir in the flour and
combine the mixture into a dough. Roll out the dough onto a floured
surface. Cut the dough into shapes with your favorite cookie cutter.
Place the treats half an inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake for 12 minutes
Banana Pumpkin Dog Treats
Ingredients
• 3 cups whole wheat flour + extra for dusting counter
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 banana, mashed
Directions: Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix eggs, banana, and pumpkin
together. Add flour and mix until all the flour is incorporated. Lightly
dust the counter and a rolling pin with flour, then roll out dough to
approximately 1/8" and cut out treats. Lay on a baking sheet and
bake for approximately 20 minutes. Cool completely before giving
to your pup!
