Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the treats.

Notes

  • Use pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, to avoid added sugars and spices.
  • Substitute whole wheat flour with almond or coconut flour for a gluten-free option.
  • Always use unsweetened applesauce to keep sugar levels safe for dogs.
  • Let the treats cool completely to ensure firmness and safety before giving to your dog.
  • Store treats in an airtight container for up to two weeks or freeze for longer storage.
