The Best Homemade Pumpkin Dog Treats for Fall
It’s finally fall! That means all things pumpkin! So, read below for the best homemade pumpkin dog treats to embrace the fall season!
Pumpkin Spice Puppaccinos
Nothing says fall like pumpkin spice. For dog-friendly puppuccinos, you will need to blend:
- 3/4 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
in a blender until well combined. Then, pour into small serving cups. If you’d like, pour and freeze the mixture into ice cube trays, so Fido can enjoy a frozen treat later!
Frozen Pumpkin Treats
For this simple fall treat, all you will need is:
- 1 cup of plain yogurt
- 1 cup of plain pumpkin puree
Once you mix the two ingredients, divide them into a silicone mold and freeze for at least 24 hours. Once the treats are frozen, you can take them out of the mold and put them in a freezer bag instead of storing them in the ice tray.
Peanut Butter Pumpkin Cookies

- 1 cup plain pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup xylitol-free peanut butter.
Combine all of your ingredients in a bowl to form a dough. Then, roll onto a floured surface and cut out some cute fall shapes with a cookie cutter. Next, bake the cookies at 375 degrees Fahrenheit on an un-greased cookie sheet for about 12 minutes. Let them cool and enjoy!
PB & Pumpkin Treats
For this recipe, you will need:
- 1/2 cup plain pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup unsweet applesauce
- 3 TBSP xylitol-free peanut butter
- 1 egg
- 2 cups flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
First, use a hand or stand mixer to beat the pumpkin, applesauce, and peanut butter together. Then, stir in the flour, salt, and baking soda until combined. You may need to knead the dough on a floured surface if it has not come together completely. Next, roll out the dough and cut shapes with a cookie cutter. Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-25 minutes until they reach your preferred hardness level. Lastly, let the treats cool completely before allowing your companion to enjoy it!
