If your pup’s tummy is easily upset, you know how hard it can be to find snacks that don’t lead to gas, diarrhea, or discomfort. My dog, Gaia , went through a phase where every crunchy biscuit upset her belly. That’s when I started making these gentle, nutrient-rich treats at home. They’re free from common irritants like artificial additives, excessive fats, and heavy grains — but still get tail-wags every time.
These recipes are:
✅ Easy on digestion
✅ Gentle yet flavorful
✅ Perfect for dogs with mild food sensitivities
Ingredients:
1 cup pure pumpkin puree (no added sugar)
1½ cups oat flour
1 egg (or flax egg for egg-sensitive dogs)
½ tsp ground ginger (optional, aids digestion)
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine pumpkin puree and egg. Mix well.
Gradually stir in oat flour and ginger until dough forms.
Roll into small balls or flatten slightly for quicker baking.
Bake for 18–20 minutes until firm. Cool before serving.
