Benefits of Pumpkin for Dogs

• 🧡 Supports digestion: Pumpkin is rich in fiber, which helps regulate your dog’s digestive system—great for both constipation and diarrhea.
• 🍽️ Low in calories: It’s a filling, low-calorie treat, perfect for weight management.
• 💧 Moisture-rich: Canned pumpkin has a high water content, which helps with hydration.
• 💪 Packed with nutrients: Pumpkin contains vitamins A, C, and E, as well as potassium and iron, which support immune health and muscle function.

🎃 Always use plain, unsweetened canned pumpkin—not pumpkin pie filling, which contains sugars and spices that can be harmful to dogs.

Why Your Dog Will Love These Treats

Recipe Tips

• Make your own oat flour: No oat flour? No problem! Just blend rolled oats in a food processor or blender until fine—it works perfectly.
• Adjust consistency: If the dough is too dry, add a splash of water or a bit more pumpkin. Too wet? Add more oat flour a tablespoon at a time.
• Use a silicone mold: Press the dough into silicone molds for fun shapes and easy portioning—great for themed treats!
• Chill before shaping: If the dough is sticky or soft, chill it for 15–20 minutes before rolling or cutting.
• Add-ins for variety: Mix in a spoonful of plain Greek yogurt, a dash of cinnamon, or some finely shredded carrots for an extra nutritional boost.
• Go mini for small dogs: Roll smaller-sized balls or use tiny cookie cutters to make treats more manageable for toy breeds or puppies.
• Portion control: Use a small cookie scoop for uniform treats—it makes portioning quick and keeps sizes consistent.

Storage

• Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
• Freezer: Freeze for up to 3 months. Just thaw a few at a time in the fridge before serving.
