We’ve been beggin’ my Lady for some homemade dog treats. She’s been mighty busy lately and kept on tellin’ us when she had a chance she would cook us up some. Well, that day finally got here WOOF! We were all a sniffin’ the air and waitin’ in the kitchen for them home baked goodies to come out that big hot box that cooks em. This time we got to have Pumpkin and Peanut Butter Dog Treats! They finally got cooked and then we were left coolin’ our heels while they cooled down a bit. All that waitin’ just made my mouth water somethin’ fierce!
Finally, my Lady called treat time and we were all so excited we could hardly sit still. Them pups were a pushin’ and shovin’ tryin’ to be first in line. Someday they’ll learn ain’t nobody gettin’ one til everyone sits calmly! Young whippersnappers! I thought I was gonna die from waitin’ WOOF! Them pups finally got the hint and my Lady started passin em out. When she handed me mine, I know my eyes were big as golf balls and I was a droolin’ like a mad dog. Boy howdy! I guess it has been a while since we had homemade treats, but those Pumpkin and Peanut Butter Dog Treats were the best tastin’ treats ever, well beside my favorite Oatmeal, Peanut Butter & Banana treats! And, she even let us have 2 each WOOF!
Pumpkin and Peanut Butter Dog Treats
Ingredients:
1 cup Pumpkin Puree
1/2 cup All Natural Peanut Butter (please make sure it does not contain xylitol)
1 3/4 cup Whole Wheat Flour
(Will need parchment paper; I only say this because sometimes I don’t always have this on hand!)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 F
Line cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Combine ingredients in a bowl and mix until it’s clumpy and not sticky.
I used my hands to make sure the dough was well combined and no dry ingredients were left out.
Lay down a sheet of parchment paper on your work surface and place the dough on the parchment sheet.
Lay another sheet of parchment paper over the dough and use a rolling pin to roll dough to 1/4 inch thick.
Once it is to your thickness liking, peel off the top parchment paper.
Use your desired cookie cutter to start cutting out the treats.
Place on your lined baking sheet.
Bake for 8-10 minutes at 350 F.
Let cool completely.
Store in an air tight container or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Oh what a fun idea! I have never made my own dog treats before….these look fairly easy too! I am going to have to try this for the dogs for Halloween!
Looks goor for your dog healthy too
This is so much healthier for my dogs than those processed treats coming from God knows where with who knows what, and the recipe is easy !
I am going to have to pick up whole wheat flour, my son would enjoy making these for our dog this weekend.
We are looking for some recipes to add to our collection. We make home made dog bones for our no-kill shelter’s holiday bazaar.
The recipe sounds so delicious! I am going to make them for my dogs and grand dogs!
My Sorcha loves when I make treats for her and thank you for sharing this recipe with us.
This is so cool, I definitely have to make this for our puppy, he really loves his treats.
I’m going to have to make these for our Boxer puppy. She loved eating pieces of the pumpkin when we carved pumpkins on Tuesday. We weren’t sure if Pumpkin was okay/safe for dogs, glad to have come across this recipe!
this recipe is really easy.and i’m sure my dogs will love them..thanks for the recipe
Pet treats are so expensive at the store. They also don’t seem very healthy. This looks like an awesome recipe and I plan to try it soon. My dogs will be happy!
I love this recipe and how simple it is! I’m going to make these treats and send them to my familys canine family members for Christmas! Thanks for sharing.
I’ve never thought to make our own dog treats, but this seems so simple! Thanks for sharing at Merry Monday!
My dog will love these! She has so many allergies I make her own treats. Than you for sharing this on the #HomeMattersParty
My dogs will love this and I can make them for Thanksgiving. All my dogs have liked peanut butter and pumpkin.
love this idea for a sweet pug who comes to visit our home..wow..homemade..never knew..great post
I can’t wait to make these for my husky!
My doggers love peanut butter! This recipe looks easy and delish!
Is there something I can use instead of whole wheat flour? My German Shepherds have terrible wheat and corn allergies.
Thank you
Hum. I’m not sure. I’ve never made it any other way.
I made these for my dog, and he loved them. I made two batches, one exactly how the recipe says and I added some leftover bacon to the other. I used oatmeal flour instead of whole wheat. I like to know what is in my dogs food since he has major allergies. This recipe was really easy to make as well.
This seems like a combination any dog would love!
Hello there!! My pup loves these!! I was wondering however, if they were meant to be soft?? If so is there a way to make them harder?
To make them harder, add a bit more flour and bake just a little longer 🙂
This was easy and fun to make!
