10 Homemade Pumpkin Dog Treat Recipes
I’m not exactly a master chef when it comes to human food, but when it comes to making dog treats, I’ve got some skills. My dog never fusses about burnt toast, runny sauce, or overdone treats. Dogs are amazing like that.
Pumpkin Dog Treat Recipes
Fall is in the air, and that means pumpkins and all the fantastic dog treat recipes you can make with them. Pureed pumpkin (without added sugar) is one of my go-to ingredients for dog treats. It’s packed with nutrients like fiber, beta carotene, magnesium, potassium, iron, zinc, and vitamins A and C. Plus, its high fiber content is great for a dog’s digestion, making it a common recommendation for dogs with stomach issues like diarrhea.
Pumpkin is such a versatile ingredient for dog treats. From grain-free to frozen options, here are ten homemade dog treat recipes using pumpkin. If you want more ideas, check out our lists of 25 easy dog treat recipes and 39 healthy Kong stuffers.
