Use leftover canned pumpkin to make these 5-ingredient pumpkin dog treats! They’re super easy to make and the perfect fall treat for your furry friend.
Since making peanut butter dog treats last year I’ve decided that homemade treats are where it’s at. They’re so easy and inexpensive! And although I personally haven’t taste-tested them, I know they taste pretty good because Olive, our Yorkie and all her friends gobble them up like they’re going out of style.
Olive’s birthday is coming up next month. She’s turning eight, which is so crazy. I remember the first week we got her. Isaac was living in DC at the time, in a grad program to become Montessori certified, and I was caring for an 8-week-old puppy, in a new city by myself. It was so hard and very much life consuming, but also the best thing ever.
She’s our baby and naturally, we don’t want her to get older. Hence the reason we always request the puppy cut when she’s groomed. The longer she looks like a puppy, the longer we can deny that she’s getting older.
That said, her birthday IS coming up whether we choose to accept it or not, so I thought it would be fun to make special fall-themed pumpkin dog treats with pumpkin puree and cinnamon to celebrate. Who says humans are the only ones who can enjoy pumpkiny treats?
Ingredients For Pumpkin Dog Treats
I tested making a pumpkin dog treat without peanut butter, but the batter was really wet and sticky, even with extra flour so I settled on a peanut butter and pumpkin mixture, which worked perfectly. I honestly think dogs will like this flavor combo better than plain pumpkin anyway! Here’s what you need:
- whole wheat flour – I like using whole wheat because it’s more nutrient dense, but all-purpose flour works too. You can also use a gluten-free option like sorghum, oat or garbanzo bean flour if your dog has allergies.
- peanut butter – this adds healthy fat and flavor. Make sure your peanut butter doesn’t have any added ingredients like artificial sweeteners as these can be toxic to dogs! Look for a brand with only one ingredient (peanuts) or two ingredients (peanuts and salt).
- pumpkin puree – use leftover canned pumpkin puree or make your your own using my pumpkin puree recipe. This gives the treats a hint of natural sweetness and helps the dough form together.
- vegetable stock – this helps moisten the dough and add a savory flavor that dog’s love.
- cinnamon – for a hint of spice!
What Cookie Cutters to Use for Dog Treats
I made some mini ones using a tiny dog bone cookie cutter because they’re the perfect size for Olive and small breeds, but I also I purchased a larger cookie cutter and made some bigger bones for Olive’s friends.
I couldn’t possibly wait until her birthday to give her a sample so she’s already taste-tested a few and loves them.
We shared some of the larger bones with Alyssa’s pups, Chloe and Maverick, and they were big fans as well so I think we can officially say they’re pup-approved!
I know it’s a little early to start thinking about the holiday season, but I wanted to mention that homemade dog treats are a great gift idea. Last year I made a few batches of these peanut butter dog treats and gave them as gifts to my friends and family who have dogs. They look really cute packaged in a mason jar with a label and ribbon. Just a thought if you’re looking for some cute gift ideas!

So I made these with almond milk as I didn’t have any stock on hand and didn’t bother with the cookie cutter (it is Canadian Thanksgiving and I don’t have a lot of kitchen space as a result of making all sorts of goodies and side dishes) and my husband ate them … said that they were “the best cookies I had make in ages”!
No way?!? ???? Did you tell him they were dog treats?
what kind of dog is Olive?
Hi Beth. She’s a Yorkshire Terrier.
You are so sweet to bake for your pup. Julius is jealous!
My labradoodle would love these! She loves all things peanut butter! I gotta make these for her birthday 🙂
Loved your peanut butter dog treat recipe – can’t wait to try these!
Looking forward to trying this recipe but would you have recommendations for replacing the whole wheat flour with something else? My dog does better when she avoids wheat products.
Love your blog!
Thanks Wendy. You could easily sub the whole wheat flour or oat flour or if you want to go grain-free you could use a mix of almond and coconut flour. Here’s a grain-free dog treat recipe from one of my friends: http://lexiscleankitchen.com/2015/02/06/5-ingredient-grain-free-dog-treats/
I wonder if it tasty for all dogs. I have American Foxhound and I wonder if he likes it? But propably I must try to make this treats.
My little guy can’t have the store bought treat anymore so I’ve been looking for healthy all natural alternatives. I will have to make these for him and I can’t wait! Thank you for sharing this. Pinning! xo
What a great idea to make a Fall dog treat for Olive and her friends! You’re exactly right humans that shouldn’t be the only ones that get to enjoy healthy seasonal treats!!
Olive is adorable! I need to hide your post before my 2 see it! Would love to try making these for them someday.
Chloe finished their last one this morning. She told me to tell you they’re her favorite treat yet. 😉
Yay!! I’ll have to make more for her birthday. 🙂
hi! my dogs both hate peanut butter so I was wondering if I can just leave it out? I know I could replace with another type of nut butter but do you know how just leaving it out completely would affect the recipe? Also, do these turn out crunchy or chewy? thanks for the great recipes!
Hello! I would like to make these treats for my dog’s friends too! I was wondering how long til they go bad? Thank you!
I keep mine in a container in the freezer so they do not spoil. I give them to my Honey straight from the freezer and she loves them. For the dogs that don’t like peanut butter then try using shredded carrots. I do that once in a while for a change.
how many treats does this recipe make using the small cookie cutter? thanks.
Not cookie related, but do you know of a dog friendly icing that hardens on cookies. I know in the States there are products you can buy online but I am in Africa, which means we it will cost me an arm and 2 legs
I already make a peanut butter and oats treat for my Boston Terrier Gidget. She absolutely loves them. I am sure she will love these too. Thanks
How about sweet potatoes for pumpkin?
Sorry…I read it somewhere that cinnamon if given in large quantity can be toxic for dogs few months back. Today I did a new search and I see postings that ground cinnamon is not harmful to dogs…so it is all good.
I read somewhere that cinnamon is not good for dogs. Can anyone confirm that!
OMG! I just tried this recipe ♡♡♡ it is perfect! I needed a quick and simple recipe for a puppy birthday party gift and found your site! Totally loved it! I couldn’t help popping a few into my mouth! The cookies turned out so so good! I will definitely make this again! ♡
My pup loves them!!! This will be our fall go to treats.
I added a bit of ginger to my batch. As it helps with anxiety problems, (i.e dogs who can’t handle car rides, or staying home by themselves.)
Can you give these treats to them everyday?
We don’t give our dog treats daily, but I know plenty of people who do. I don’t think there’s any concern with it but maybe ask your vet!
Just got done making a batch! Sooo good. I am putting two more batches together! Easy quick and I always try what I give my digs! NOT bad!
How many cookies does it make in one batch? I own a small dog and a Beagle.
Can I use regular milk as a substitute for the broth? I don’t have any almond milk either. I have a 3 year old husky mutt named Oddball that really needs these treats as they would provide him some extra fiber. My daughter and I would really appreciate suggestions. Thanks!
You can use regular milk or water. Hope Oddball loves them.
How long do these last?:) O made them
Last week and have them in plastic bags with ties on them
I have a question. Can I use water or milk instead of veg, chicken, or beef stock? Thanks
Hi Renee! You can use either milk or water instead of the broth. The treats will turn out fine, they just won’t be as savory. Let me know how they turn out for you if you make them!
I tried a few homemade recipes and this was the only one I could get to come out right. My dogs love them!! But I made them six days ago and stored in a Mason jar, and today the remaining treats have mold spots on them. Do you think I used too much broth? Or didn’t cool long enough? I’m not the most experienced cook and tend to mess up alot of recipes hehe. Any advise would be greatly appreciated!!
I’m so glad that they turned out well for you, Lori. In terms of the treats getting mold on the, I think it could be that they didn’t dry out completely while baking or that they didn’t cool long enough. To prevent this next time you can store them in the fridge or freezer. Tne thing to note is that they’re not going to last as long as store-bought treats because we’re not adding and preservatives.
Can’t wait to try this recipe, I buy tiny cookie cutters to make puppy treats for my friends. love to bake and this way I won’t eat them. lol
I did make the doggie treats from my Fannie Farmer cookbook and they last months, it’s October now and the are little hearts from valentines day.
Yay! Definitely let me know how they turn out for you once you make them, Bridget!
I just made these for my 2 Bichon. Used a tiny gingerbread cookie cutter. The dough was super easy to work with and the dogs love them,
Woo-hoo! Thanks so much for trying my recipe, Barb! I’m glad the treats turned out well for you. Thank you for coming back to leave a comment and star rating, I so appreciate it. <3
Made these two years in a row now for my friends pets. My boss thought they were regular cookies and ate some. Hahahah he said they weren’t bad!
Haha that’s hilarious! I’m glad to know that they aren’t too bad tasting for humans. 😉 Thanks for leaving a comment and star rating, Anissa. I really appreciate it. <3
My fiancé and I both ate the cookies and they are delicious! He asked me to make them again, but for us
I love that!! Glad they are human-approved too. 🙂
The treats are delicious and the consistency of the dough is PERFECT for cookie cutters which is exactly what I was looking for. The only issue is that when I baked them, the cookies bubbled so the shapes I cut them in got distorted. Any advice for preventing that next time? Thanks!
Hey Sara! I’m sorry to hear that! Maybe chill the dough before rolling it out, which should help the cookies keep their shape. Let me know if you try it and how they turn out for you. And I really appreciate you coming back to leave a comment + star rating! <3
Best recipe for dog treats! Easy, easy, easy to make and ROLL out and cut! My girl loves them so much and I love making them for her!
Woo-hoo! So glad you tried and enjoyed this recipe, Leslie. And thank you for coming back to leave a comment and star rating. It means the world to me. <3
These are a gift for a friend, so I made them with oat flour and unsweetened applesauce rather than wheat flour and chicken stock. They did not cook up as dark as yours, but still look very nice. Our 5-year old black Lab Olive loves them!! Thank you. 🐾🐾
Awesome!! I’m so glad they turned out for you, Mary. I really appreciate you coming back to leave a comment + star rating. It’s super helpful to other readers. 🙂
Super simple! I loved that. These were easy to make and turned out great.
That makes me so happy to hear, Lauren! Thanks for trying this recipe + coming back to leave a comment and star rating. I so appreciate it. <3
I used up left over pumpkin from Christmas to make Christmas copies for our Labs and a guest Beagle. The Beatle doesn’t like store bought treats but they all loved these! This recipe is better than ones I have made previous years.
Ahh yay!! I’m so glad the pups liked these treats. 🙂 Thanks for trying my recipe and for coming back to leave a comment and star rating. I so appreciate it!
My dogs LOVED these. Thank you for the recipe.
Hooray! I’m so glad to hear that your pups loved them. Thank you so much for coming back to leave a comment and star rating. I really appreciate it!
Are you sure this is for diabetic dogs..our dog is also blind so I like making special things for her. She is very sweet.
Hey Debra – I would think these treats would be okay for diabetic dogs since they don’t have any added sugar, but I would talk to your vet to make sure they are okay for your dog to eat. 🙂
Can I get the nutrition facts for this?
I made these in heart shaped as a Valentine’s treat for the dogs we watch! My dog just taste tested them and loved them! Can’t wait to give them to the owners as a special homemade treat for their dogs!
Ahh I love the idea of heart-shaped cookies for V-day!! 🙂 Thanks for coming back to leave a comment + star rating, Shannon. I really appreciate it!
Can unbleached white flour be used instead of wheat flour?
Hey Nancy! I haven’t tried it, but that should work just fine! Let me know if you make these and how they turn out. 🙂
I used AP flour and it was fine
Awesome! So glad they turned out for you. 🙂
I use a pizza cutter, makes it faster and no need to reroll the dough. My dogs are like crack addicts over these cookies!
Ahh yay! I’m so glad these treats are a hit with your dogs! Thanks for trying my recipe and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. I really appreciate it.
I made these for my Saint Bernard and he loves them! They’re drool worthy!
Yay!! So glad he loves these treats!!
I made these last night for my dog. I needed a healthy/ish recipe that I could include his supplements into. I followed the recipe but added one shredded carrot (strained the water) and green lipped mussel supplement powder into it and used AP flour. I would have preferred whole wheat but AP is what I had in my pantry. He absolutely LOVES them and it was super simple to make. I let them bake for about 18-20 minutes and they still had some softness to them making it easier for my senior dog to eat. even had the dough store over night before baking and it came out fine.
Made them and he loves them
OMG these dog cookies look great! I love your photography and the recipe looks great — the addition of cinnamon is so unique!
Thanks so much for sharing. Your site is beautiful!
Thank you so much, Chelsea. 🙂
I made this recipe but instead of adding broth I puréed half a banana with tsp of water. Turned out great!
So glad these doggie treats turned out for you, Kellie! Thanks for trying my recipe and for coming back to leave a comment and star rating. I appreciate it!
First time i ever baked dog treats…
THIS Recipe stood out! So simple and the cinnamon is great addition.All dogs love them.Today I’m baking 4th batch with our Mom’s vintage doggie cookie cutters to send more to my sister’s dogs. Next batch for my pup and the new dog next door 🙂
Ahh I love hearing that!! I’m so glad these dog treats are a hit with the pups. Thanks so much for trying my recipe and for coming back to leave a comment and star rating. It means the world to me. <3
Came out perfect. Lovely consistency and my dogs liked them so much they refused to leave the kitchen. I did roll out the dough between sheets of parchment paper and that worked really well.
Ahh I love it!! So glad these treats were a hit! Thanks for trying them and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. I so appreciate it.
Thank you for this awesome recipe!! What can i use instead of broth??
Hey Olivia – You can use either milk or water instead of the broth. The treats will turn out fine, they just won’t be as savory. Let me know how they turn out for you if you make them!
Doubled the recipe which worked well, except that it seemed I should keep the liquid to the original 1/4 cup. Used half GF flour (I have celiac), and half pumpkin flour, which I was surprised to find in a market. Added bits of apple as well. Pressed onto a cookie sheet with a silicone liner, baked for 10 minutes, made crosshatch markings with a pizza cutter, baked another 20 minutes and -voila! My 2 year old pup loves these treats!
So glad these treats are a hit with your pup, Leanne! Thanks for trying my recipe and for coming back to share your thoughts on doubling the recipe. It’s super helpful to other readers, so I appreciate it. 🙂
I made this wonderful treat recipe and my dog and all my neighbors’ dogs loved them!
I’ve made these cookies 3 times already and they’ve been an absolute hit. My 1yr old puppy Apollo and his furriends can’t get enough. The neighbours keep asking for more so I end up baking extras and taking them along on walks.
Really simple to make and super tasty. Thank you for sharing!
So glad these cookies are a hit with your pup, Roxane!! Thanks for trying my recipe and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. I so appreciate it!
Last year my girl had 11 puppies! They are about to turn 1 and I am looking for a good recipe to make to add to their puppy presents! Some have to be mailed. How log will these treats last? Do they need to be refrigerated?
Hey Kari – These can be stored in an airtight container at room temp, so it should be fine to ship them. They should last a few weeks depending on how they’re stored. They’ll stay fresher longer if stored in the fridge or freezer.
How long do the dog treats tend to last? One similar recipe I used, the leftover treats molded after a week
Hey Ashley – They should last a few weeks depending on how they’re stored. They’ll stay fresher longer if stored in the fridge or freezer.
Doggos loved it and it was the perfect consistancy 😁 Thank you!!
Yay!! So glad they were a hit. 🙂
I made them for the second time I just wish they got Harder.
Hey Michael, You could probably bake them a bit longer to try and crisp them up a bit.
How long will these keep for? I just made them and the dogs like them. Thanks!
So glad they’re a hit! They should last 1-2 weeks stored in an airtight container in the fridge. 🙂
How long will these keep ?
Do they need to be refrigerated??
Thanks Gretchen
I would keep them in the fridge. They should last 1-2 weeks stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
Made for my Son pups, one has a sensitive stomach, hope these work better than store bought.
Thanks Gretchen
My dogs love this recipe, even though they’re extremely picky eaters! The first time I made it was too hard for them however, as they’re older Chihuahuas with little teeth; so the second time around I doubled the wet ingredients and kept the dry ingredients as is, and it came out perfect for them!
So glad your pups enjoyed these treats!! Thanks for making them, Sandra. I appreciate it.
I haven’t made these yet (but will be this afternoon), but your readers should know that they should check their peanut butter label and ensure the brand they are using does not have xylitol in it. Some peanut butters have it, and it is toxic to dogs! Others use sorbitol, which is ok. Better yet, use a natural peanut butter. This is important to note, so could you update your recipe?
Hey Janet – I note that in the recipe card. 🙂
A Coon Hound, Husky and Great Dane all approve this recipe!
Thank you!
Ahh yay!! So glad these doggie treats were a hit!
horrible receipe so inaccurate.
I’m very confused by your comment. Can you explain why you think the recipe is horrible?
I made these today. The pups just love them. So easy to roll out and the 1/4 inch thickness had them bake up brown and crispy. Pinned this recipe to make again. Thanks!
So glad they were a hit with your pups, Suzanne. 🙂
Hi – can I use regular flour? That’s all I have in hand!
Hey Aimee – That should work just fine.
My dog loved them going to make again for friends who have dogs
Ahh yay, so glad your pup loved these!
Great recipe! Very simple and quick to put together. My dog loved it!
Yay, I’m so glad these treats were a hit!!
This is a fabulous recipe! Thank you for sharing..my dogs LOVE them ❤️🐾❤️
Yay!! I’m so glad!!
Thank you so much for this recipe.I doubled up on the ingredients adding less stock and more pumpkin purree.my kitchen smelt doggy divine! All made with love for my 2 grand-dogs as a pre Christmas treat.Displayed in air tight mason jars. Keep safe and here’s to brighter days for 2021 x
I hope the treats are a hit! Thanks for making my recipe and for coming back to leave a review. I appreciate it. 🙂
My 4 labs Lovedddd these. Super easy, great recipe.
I’m so glad, Cassie! Thanks for making these for your pups. 🙂
Hey! I’m wanting to make these and mail them to a friend out of state. Will these be safe to mail or will they get moldy? Thanks!
Hey Zoe – I imagine these would be just fine shipping as long as they’re sent in an airtight container and packaged properly. 🙂
For the holidays, I made cookies for our Charlie Doodle and his furiends. These are a huge hit! I made small treats using cookie stamps to be festive! Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful recipe!
Ahh yay!! So glad these cookies were a hit with your pup! Thanks for making my recipe and for coming back to leave a review. I so appreciate it.
Even my picky dogs lived these!
Ahh, this makes me so happy to hear! Thanks for the review, Keri.
My dog seems to really like this recipe. I’d like to try it with oat flour, since my boy has a sensitive stomach. I know that oat flour doesn’t necessarily substitute to the exact amount as the whole wheat flour. Do you have any advice for how much oat flour I could use, keeping the other ingredients as is?
I think you could try it with still 1 cup of oat flour, maybe a touch less as they might turn out a bit drier with the oat flour. Keep me posted how they turn out!!
The switch to oat flour worked well. I made my own oat flour from oats. I used just a wee bit less than a cup of the oat flour.
Oh yay!! Good to know. Thanks for coming back to share, Emily!!
Hi there, when you say stock do you mean liquid or powdered form? Can I use broth as well?
Hey Andira – I mean liquid stock. And yes, broth will work. Sorry for any confusion. I will update the post.
I’ve made these dog treats several times. The first time I mad them I put them in an airtight container as suggested. After a week they started to mold. I now put them in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze them. My dog loves them.
So glad these treats are a hit with your pup!! They’ll definitely stay fresh longest in the fridge or freezer. 🙂
My dogs LOVE these!!They can be playing loudly in the backyard and will run to the door when they hear their treat jar open.(3 dog home) I make this recipe in bulk. Because it is a proportional recipe, I use a whole can of pumpkin and then use the can to measure out other ingredients. I freeze 1/2 of the dough in a flattened zip lock bag. I bake the rest freezing half of the baked treat. This way I don’t waste pumpkin and don’t have to mess the kitchen as often. Also my dogs don’t care if they look like little bones etc. so I roll out the dough on silicone baking sheets then use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into squares. They break apart very easily when baked. (Takes a bit longer to bake but totally worth the time!)
I’m so glad these treats are a hit with your pups!! Thanks so much for making them and for coming back to leave a review, Julie. I so appreciate it!
About how many treats does the recipe make as stated? My cookie cutter is about 2″x3″ but whatever info you have would be helpful.
I cant wait to try this recipe for my dogs! Has anyone tried dehydrating them after baking to prolong the shelf life?
This is the 3rd and BEST recipe I’ve tried for my pup. Quick, Easy and actually pretty tasty as far as dog biscuits go lol. I think the chicken stock made a huge difference. Good creation…thanks!
Yay!! So glad these treats were a hit!! Thanks for making them and for the review. I so appreciate it!
Hi Brittany! Just wondering how many treats does this usually make? I know it kinda depends on the size but do you have a general amount?
It definitely depends on the size of the cookie cutter. I used a small bone cookie cutter and yielded about 50 or so treats.
Rave reviews for my two little dogs favorite homemade treat.They love it and today is the third time I have made it. Thank you, Brittany for sharing.
Woo!! This makes me so happy to hear, Shelley! Thanks for coming back to leave a review. It means the world to me.
My two Dobias love these cookies. I make them with oat flour and they are great! Thank you for introducing me to making my own treats. Much cheaper and certainly better.
Woo! So glad these dog treats have been a hit, Elsbeth! Thanks for the review 🙂
Do you the peanut butter and pumpkin dog treats expire in the refrigerator?
Yes, they should last up to 2 months in the fridge!
This recipe is incredible!! I board different dogs all the time and have yet to have a dog that doesn’t love these. They are so easy to make with just minimal ingredients, and you have piece of mind giving them to doggie’s since they have no preservatives or additives like store bought treats. This is my go-to dog treat recipe that I will use for years to come!!
Yay!! I love hearing this, Natalie! So glad all the dogs you’ve boarded have been loving these treats. Thanks so much for the review. I really appreciate it!
The recipe is great! Our golden doodle loves them. Just wondering if these need to be stored in the refrigerator or if they can be stored in an air tight container on the counter. Also, how long would they last outside the refrigerator?
I waiting for them to come out if oven added peanut butter and pumpkin. Can’t wait. She loved it raw!!!
Please don’t feed this raw to your dog! Uncooked flour can harbor e.coli and make your pup extremely ill, even requiring emergency veterinarian hospitalization! I’m a veterinary technician, I’ve had to care for some that nearly died. Make sure it’s cooked!
My clients’ and friends’ dogs are loving these biscuits. I used King Arthur’s 1:1 gluten free flour instead of whole wheat and the texture was perfect!
Yay!! So glad all the pups love these dog treats 🙂
My dogs have loved each cookie we have sampled and now I cannot bake any kind of cookies without them circling the oven!
Woo!! I’m so happy to hear your pups having been enjoying these treats, Tricha! Thanks so much for the review. It means so much to me!
How long to they stay good for?
You can store them at room temp for 3-5 days, in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 months or freeze them for longer storage (up to 3 months).
Ive left mine in the cubboard for over 2 months , once baked and thus dried they last like milkbones
My pups loved these, thanks. My 3 star rating comes from how long it takes to bake these. Every batch took over 30 minutes and they were still soft in the center. I used a fork to pierce each cookies surface, allowing more steam to escape. It still took 30 minutes bake time but it resulted in a crispier product. I have a picture but can’t figure out how to post it lol. Thank you!
Our lil pumpkin LOVES them! He is a picky lil chiweenie and these he cannot resist!!!
Ah yay!! Happy to hear your pup is loving these treats, Viktor. Thanks so much for the review and trying them out. I really appreciate it!
My dogs love these treats and so does my son and daughter in laws dog. I also make them at Xmas time and put them in cute Xmas containers for my friends and neighbors dogs.
Ah yay! Love this so much, Rebecca! So glad everyone is enjoying these treats. Thanks so much for the review. I really appreciate the feedback!
Very simple recipe, I subbed the stock for salted water and they’re still delicious and very much like homemade crackers. My dogs love them, I’ll definitely be making these again!
Happy to hear these treats were a hit, Kat! Thanks for the review. I really appreciate it!
I subbed water for stock and added just a teaspoon or so of honey, our lab absolutely loved them and our house smelled AMAZING while they were baking!
Yay! So happy your pup loved these treats, Laura. Thanks for the review!
on these dog treats. do you have to use wheat flour ? is it self rising or all purpose ?
You don’t have to use wheat flour. If you’re going to use regular flour, I recommend all purpose, not self rising!
What about using rolled oats instead of flour? I crush up the rolled oats til powdery in my other dog treats so what about this recipe? Can I do the same?
Hi Alanna – Yes, you can also use oat flour in this recipe.
Just wanted to know if the dog biscuits are stored in the refrigerator or just on the counter. Asking about the pumpkin peanut butter biscuits.
You can store them either way but they will only last 4-5 days at room temp (because there are no preservatives) so I’d store them in the fridge for longer storage!
if you could guess. how long is shelf life in the fridge? what about freezer??
Hi Amy – After allowing these dog treats to cool completely, you can store them at room temp for 3-5 days, in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 months or freeze them for longer storage (up to 3 months).
Just an FYI vegetable stock is usually made with 50% or more onions which can be poisonous to dogs! I make my own veggie stock (or veggies with marrowbones for a delicious treat later!) in a giant stock pot that can later be portioned and frozen to use when needed 🙂
I make these for my dog every 2 weeks, they are super easy. I just throw everything into a food processor then roll out and cut with cookie cutters. she loves them. it’s my go to dog treat recipe!!
So happy to hear she’s loving them, Beckie! Thanks for the review :).
I have made these several times for my dogs and shared them with friends who have dogs. The dogs love them. Thanks for the recipe
Yay! So glad your pups and friends’ pups are enjoying these!
Amazing! They smell so amazing! My dogs love them! I made homemade pumpkin purée and used that! Also instead of vegetable broth I did water and a dab of strawberry all natural honey! Thank you!
AH YAY! I am so happy to hear that this recipe worked out for you, Chloe. Thank you for sharing your review & star rating, I really appreciate it!
Video covers the top of the page, ad covers bottom of page and a thousand more in between. Tone it down. Ridiculous when you can’t even read the recipe…so what’s even the purpose of posting it if you can’t even read it. It’s like bad customer service.
So sorry to hear that the ads are making it difficult to view the recipe, Marilyn. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Are you trying to view the recipe on your phone or computer?
Really enjoy this recipe, I make it for my dog often. Some changes I have done, just because I love fiddling.
Found dehydrated beef bone broth at my local pet store. Added a tablespoon or two to the mix, and just use water then not stock.
Looking at other dog treats I noticed other spices, so I add turmeric and ginger powder as well as cinnamon.
I personally love blueberries so i push dried blueberries on top before baking.
Now my dog wolfs them down, but she is a lab so doesn’t prove much lol. but I have given them to my friend’s dogs who are picky, and they enjoy them.
This is great, Craig! I am so glad you love making this recipe for your pups and it is a hit. Thanks for sharing your additions to the recipe as well. Really appreciate it!
