Pumpkin Peanut Butter Dog Treats
Making biscuits for your pet ensures that you can control all of the ingredients. Have you tried these safe homemade dog treats yet?
Or, maybe you’re wondering whether or not dogs can eat pumpkin? If so, they definitely can and they will love this recipe.
Making your pet a cookie is no more difficult than making your family cookies. All you need are a few simple ingredients to get started.
I like to make them in the shape of a bone. You can use whatever type of cookie cutter you have, but these bone-shaped cookie cutters are adorable.
This product presentation was made with AAWP plugin.
Can I use regular flour for dog treats?
You can use all-purpose flour in this recipe. But it will be healthier if you choose whole wheat flour instead. Either way, the recipe will come out fine and your pup should enjoy it.
These vegetarian dog treats recipes are another great option.
Can dogs have peanut butter treats?
Yes, it is completely safe for your pup to have as long as you get the right kind. Make sure that the ingredients do NOT contain xylitol which is toxic to your pet.
I really love this brand because it’s made for canines. I never worry about the ingredients when using this.
How long do homemade dog snacks last?
If you store these biscuits at room temperature in an airtight container, they should last up to two to three weeks. There is no need to keep them in the refrigerator.
Just make sure that they are out of direct sunlight. And, be sure that there is a tightly fitting lid to keep them fresh.
If you want to keep them for a longer period, you can place them in a freezer container to store them for up to 6 months.
What do I need to make these 3 ingredient peanut butter dog treats?
- Cookie cutters
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment paper
- Rolling pin
What type of pumpkin should I use?
You can start with fresh and cook it for your own puree. Or, you can buy puree in the can from the store.
Just be sure that you do not get pie filling. That’s not good for your puppy to eat and can be toxic due to the added spices.
Since you only need 1/2 cup of puree, it’s a lot easier to buy a can unless you have other recipes you want to use it for. This brand is specifically for pets.
How do I make these treats?
This recipe is very simple to make. All you need to do is:
- Combine the ingredients in a large box and stir.
- Then, when the ingredients are combined, roll them out to an even thickness.
- Bake them for 20 to 35 minutes depending on how thick you rolled them out.
- Then, let them cool completely on a wire rack and your pup can enjoy them.

NOTE when you use peanut butter it doesn’t have any “sugar substitute” in it as that is NOT good for pets, especially dogs. I enjoy making treats for my dogs…just as I did when my kids were at home. The “look on their face” is almost just like the kids when I made them treats!
Very true. That’s why I linked to one that I recommend. Thanks for the reminder!
I made this for my pup and she loves them! I like knowing what is in her treats! You were my choice for #trafficjamweekend. Thanks for linking up!
