Easy Pumpkin Dog Treat Recipes

Wholesome, seasonal snacks your dog will actually love

It started on a chilly October morning. Leaves were falling, coffee was brewing, and Belle was curled up on the mat by the oven.

I had leftover pumpkin puree from pie prep and decided to mix some with oats and a hint of cinnamon.

The smell? Cozy.The moment she tasted it? Magic.

That’s how our "Easy Pumpkin Dog Treat Recipes" tradition began.

If you've ever watched your pup perk up from one bite... you'll know why we keep baking these.

I used to buy store-bought biscuits, but the labels stressed me out.

Too many ingredients I couldn’t pronounce.Too much added junk.

Then I discovered how simple it was to use real, seasonal pumpkin in dog treats:

• Helps digestion

• Great for sensitive stomachs

• Naturally sweet and low in fat

• Full of fiber + beta carotene

Now we make these weekly — no stress, no guesswork.
