🎃 Halloween Pumpkin Dog Treats Recipe
When I realized store-bought treats contain so many additives and preservatives, I began making my own.
I decided to combine both peanut butter and pumpkin in this dog treat recipe after I made Peanut Butter Dog Treats and Homemade Dog Treats.
Since my dogs inhaled these pumpkin peanut butter dog treats and were immediately back at my feet for more, I would say they were a success! If you have leftover pumpkin puree from baking pies or muffins, you can use it to make these treats.
Peanut butter and pumpkin are both found in my popular Peanut Butter Cup recipe and Dog Cupcakes recipe. So if you're a fan, you'll want to try this as well!

🥘 Ingredients Used for Halloween Pumpkin Dog Treats
You probably already have these ingredients in your pantry! To make pumpkin dog treats, you will need:
Flour - I used whole wheat flour for this recipe. Your veterinarian can recommend the right flour for your dog.
Eggs: Get large eggs for your dog.
Pumpkin Puree - Make sure the pumpkin puree you use is pure canned pumpkin. Often cans of pumpkin pie mix sit right next to pumpkin puree in the store, and you don’’t want all those extra ingredients in your pumpkin dog treats.
Dry Milk - Using powdered milk as an ingredient for homemade dog treats is a great idea since it is a good source of protein and calcium.
Water - if needed.
Ground Cinnamon (optional)
🥣 How to Make Halloween Pumpkin Dog Treats
Mix all the ingredients together so that a dough is formed. A stand mixer or an electric mixer may be easier.
The dough will be very thick and crumbly. By adding a little bit of water to help moisten the ingredients, you will be able to work and knead the dough. Add a tablespoon or two at a time. You want the dough to be dry and thick.
Finally, you roll it out and cut it into your favorite shapes, then bake it. It's the same process as when you make cut out sugar cookies.
Watch your dog's face light up when she realizes you're baking something she can nibble on!
Cut into shapes using different cookie cutters, these are so cute. You can also use a knife to cut out the desired shapes if you do not have cookie cutters. I promise, your dog only cares about the taste!
🐶 Tips, Tricks, Questions & Answers
What if I don’t have Whole Wheat Flour?
For these treats, I prefer using whole wheat flour or oat flour. I have made them with both and my dog had no complaints.
Don't have whole wheat or oat flour? Use white wheat flour or all-purpose flour instead. Just make sure to give them to your pup in moderation!
