PUMPKIN PUPPER TREATS

It’s that time of year where you smell pumpkin spice everything everywhere! With Thanksgiving on the way, Pet Parents may be tempted to give their dog some scraps from turkey dinner. If you read our last blog you’ll have found out what things you can give your dog and which you should avoid. If you want to give your dog a pumpkin treat while everyone is enjoying their pumpkin pie, here’s a quick and delicious recipe for your dog.

Ingredients

• 1 egg  
• 2/3 cup pure canned pumpkin  
• ½ tsp cinnamon  
• 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour 

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Combine the egg, pumpkin and cinnamon.

Slowly add in flour until the dough is nice and stiff.

Put whole wheat flour on the counter and roll the dough out to ¼ inch on top of it.

Use cookie cutters to cut out your favorite shapes.

Place cookies on a no stick or parchment paper lined cookie sheet.

Bake cookies for 40 minutes.

They should be nice and crisp before you take them out.

Drool, while you let them cool, and serve. 

Storage Recommendations 

Make sure the treats are completely cooled before storing, otherwise they’ll steam up the container, making them soggy and stick together. Meatless, dry dog biscuits can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for about two to three weeks. You can also freeze them to make them last longer.
