Why Your Dog Will Love These Treats
Pumpkin is a doggy favorite for good reason—it’s naturally sweet, rich in fiber and great for digestion. Combined with a hint of coconut oil for a shiny coat and a protein boost from an egg, these treats are as tasty as they are nutritious. The aroma of pumpkin baking in the oven is sure to get your dog’s nose twitching with excitement!
Ingredients
Only 4 ingredients make this crunchy baked treat.
- Canned pumpkin – Make sure it’s plain pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. Pumpkin is rich in fiber and beta-carotene, supporting your dog’s digestion and immune health.
- Egg – A great source of protein and healthy fats that help maintain a shiny coat and strong muscles.
- Coconut oil – Coconut oil promotes skin and coat health while adding a delicious flavor dogs love. You could use olive oil as a substitute.
- Brown rice flour – A gluten-free flour that’s easy on the digestive system and provides a good texture for crunchy baked treats. Any other dog friendly flour could be substituted.
