Enjoy the holidays with your dogs with their own pumpkin treat. This is an easy recipe that you could also make with the children too. However and whoever makes it, your dog will love this homemade treat.

Can dogs eat pumpkin pie?

Your homemade or store bought pumpkin pie is not a good choice for your dog as it may contain ingredients that are not suitable for them. The pastry may contain sugar or baking powder, and the filling may also contain sugar and unsuitable spices.

Canned pumpkin pie filling is not suitable for dogs as it may contain nutmeg which is toxic to dogs. Plain pumpkin puree is a better option and as ever, you can't beat homemade!

How to make a dog pumpkin pie

We made mini pumpkin pies for dogs because they were easier to give as a dog treat rather than a slice of pie. A silicone mini muffin tin was used with the pies being easier to pop out when cool.

For the pastry we used rice flour but any other dog suitable flour could be used. You may need to adjust the amount of apple sauce added for another flour.

The filling uses our homemade pumpkin puree which is simply cooked plain pumpkin. We added cinnamon spice to the filling as it is a safe spice for dogs.

How to store

It's best to store these homemade dog pumpkin pies in a sealed container in the fridge. They should last up to 5 days.

Can you freeze these pumpkin pie treats?

If you make a large batch these can be frozen for later use. Freeze them in an airtight zip lock bag with a layer of parchment paper between each pumpkin pie to stop sticking. They will freeze for up to 3 months.

Defrost the mini pies in the fridge.
