These pumpkin peanut butter dog treats are a perfect Fall for your dog. An easy homemade low carb and grain-free dog treat full of natural ingredients.

Pumpkin peanut butter dog cookies are fairly soft with a slight firm crust. We used coconut flour for the flour and another flour would give a different texture. Many dog treat recipes use whole wheat flour but we wanted to keep this a low carb and gluten-free dog recipe which can be also suitable for diabetic dogs.

Our dogs loved these treats and would look hopefully every time I walked into the kitchen!

CAN DOGS EAT PUMPKIN AND PEANUT BUTTER?

Both pumpkin and peanut butter are safe ingredients for dogs BUT the peanut butter should not be sweetened. A few brands of peanut butter are sweetened with xylitol which is highly toxic for dogs. Always read the ingredients, or make your own peanut butter.

Pumpkin is a great fiber rich food for dogs. Full of vitamins, potassium, iron and minerals. If you are using canned pumpkin puree, do not use pumpkin pie puree. It's easy enough to make your own pumpkin puree which ensures that your dogs are fed pumpkin with no additives, salt or sweetener.

IS COCONUT FLOUR SAFE FOR DOGS?

Absolutely! Coconut flour is a healthy low carb and gluten-free flour that is a good plant protein, high in fiber and has lauric acid which has anti-inflammatory properties.

I love cooking with is as it is highly absorbent and great for crunchy treats. If you want these pumpkin dog treats crunchier, add more flour.

INGREDIENTS FOR PUMPKIN DOG TREATS

Homemade pumpkin dog biscuits can be made with just these 3 ingredients or you could add other ingredients such as cinnamon or add blueberries or cranberries.

pumpkin treat ingredients
  • Pumpkin puree - we make our own. If you use tinned do not use pumpkin pie filling. This is unsuitable for dogs.
  • Peanut butter - natural and unsweetened
  • Coconut Flour - A great low carb and gluten-free flour that is suitable for dogs.

Remember to go slowly when introducing new foods. And we recommend checking with your veterinarian first if your dog has any digestive issues or other health concerns.

FLOUR SUBSTITUTIONS

If you don't want to use coconut flour, a few other dog friendly flours could be used. White wheat flour is not something we would use as it is stripped of any vital ingredients.

A few flours you could use:

  • Almond Flour
  • Brown Rice Flour
  • Sorghum Flour
  • Whole wheat Flour
  • Quinoa Flour

For a flourless dog treat try our PB and Pumpkin Dog treats.

STORAGE

Once the 3 ingredient peanut butter pumpkin dog treats have cooled, store them in an air tight container. We keep ours in the fridge and they should last up to 2 weeks.

If you want to freeze these treats, they are an easy freezing treat. Place the treats in a ziplock bag or air tight container and they will last up to 3 months in the freezer.

HOW MANY DOG TREATS SHOULD BE GIVEN DAILY?

These are a treat and should not be given as a meal. No more than 2 treats a day should be enough. If your dog is trying to lose a bit of weight, add the calorie nutrition of the treats into their daily allowance.

    Out little tiny poochon loves these. I’d suggest the baking temp to be only 350 and bake a little longer as the first batch burned. After I adjusted it they all turned out great.
