Ingredients

  • 1 cup natural peanut butter (unsalted and xylitol-free)

  • 1 cup pumpkin purée (plain, not pie filling)

  • 2 ½ cups whole wheat flour

  • 1 egg

  • 2–4 tablespoons water (as needed)

How To Make

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Mix the wet ingredients in a large bowl: peanut butter, pumpkin purée, and egg until smooth.

  3. Add the flour gradually and mix until a dough forms.

  4. Add water if needed to make the dough soft but not sticky.

  5. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about ¼ inch thick.

  6. Cut into bone shapes using a cookie cutter.

  7. Place on baking sheet and bake for about 18–22 minutes or until firm and lightly golden.

  8. Cool completely before giving them to your dog.

How To Store

  • Store treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

  • Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks to keep them fresh longer.

  • For long storage, freeze treats for up to 3 months and thaw before serving.

Serving Sizes

  • Small dogs: ½ treat to 1 treat per day

  • Medium dogs: 1–2 treats per day

  • Large dogs: 2–3 treats per day

Always adjust treat portions based on your dog’s diet and activity level.
