The ingredients

All you need to make these great dog treats are:

  • Pumpkin puree - we use our homemade puree. If you use canned, do not use pumpkin pie filling. That has spices that are not suitable for dogs.
  • Sweet potato - Skin removed and boiled first
  • Peanut Butter - natural and no sweeteners
  • Spelt Flour - We used this as it yields a flexible dough. If you want to substitute this with a gluten friendly flour we would suggest coconut flour. Although the quantity would need to be reduced.

How to make sweet potato peanut butter dog treats

The sweet potato needs to be boiled and mashed first. Once this is cool enough to handle, it's mixed with the other ingredients to make a cookie dough. The dough is very elastic to handle and cuts shapes out easily.

To roll out the dough, it was rolled on a floured surface. We set aside our normal practice of rolling dog cookie dough in between two layers of parchment paper. Just ensure that the rolling pin is lightly floured.

This homemade dog treat recipe makes a lot of treats! We ended up with 50 medium sized cookies. That's a lot of cookies if you have one dog, so you may want to either half the recipe or freeze them.

Sweet potatoes for dogs

Sweet potatoes are a great vegetable for dogs but they must be cooked and the skin removed. Raw sweet potato can lead to digestive issues.

Full of antioxidants, fiber and vitamin A they make a great vegetable choice for your dogs.

Always check with your veterinarian before introducing any new foods into your dog’s diet.

How to store the homemade dog treats

We stored these dog treats in the refrigerator in a sealed container. They lasted a week and become a bit more crunchy too. Anything without preservatives can be subject to mold if stored at room temperature.

Can you freeze these sweet potato dog treats?

Yes, these can be freezed thankfully, as this makes a lot of treats. Once the sweet potato treats are cooled, place them in a zip lock bag. I use a straw to suck the air out of the bag. They should last for up to 3 months in the freezer.

To defrost, place them in the refrigerator to thaw.
