18 Dog Treats
Ingredients
2 cups whole wheat flour (or oat flour for gluten-free option)
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 large egg
½ cup pumpkin purée (plain, not pie filling)
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ cup water (as needed for dough consistency)
How To Make
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, applesauce, egg, pumpkin purée, and olive oil.
Mix until a soft dough forms. Add water gradually if the dough feels too dry.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about ¼-inch thickness.
Use bone-shaped cookie cutters to cut out treats and place them on the baking sheet.
Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown and firm.
Allow treats to cool completely before serving.
How To Store
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks for extended freshness.
Freeze in a sealed freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
Serving Sizes
Small dogs (under 20 lbs): 1 small treat per day
Medium dogs (20–50 lbs): 1–2 medium treats per day
Large dogs (50+ lbs): 2–3 treats per day
Always adjust portion size based on your dog’s diet and activity level.
