4 Fall Dog Treat Recipes to Try With Your Dog

Pumpkin and Peanut Butter Biscuits

 

Pumpkin is a super food for dogs. It helps aids in digestion, so working it into their treats is a great way to add pumpkin to their diet!

Ingredients:

• ½ cup All-natural Peanut Butter (no xylitol)
• 1 cup Pureed Pumpkin
• 1 ¾ cup Whole Wheat Flour

 

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350° F and prepare your baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, combine all the ingredients until well-combined and not clumpy. This forms into a dough.
3. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough out to about ¼ inch thick using a rolling pin. Cut with your cookie cutter and arrange on your lined baking sheet.
4. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on a rack.

Sweet Potato Dog Jerky

With just one ingredient, this recipe is as simple as it gets!

Ingredients

• Sweet potatoes

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Wash the skin of the potatoes well.
2. Cut the ends off, and then slice using a sharp knife. You can do coin shape if your dog is small, or lengthwise, if you have a bigger pup. Make sure they are at least 1/4 inches thick, otherwise, they will be too hard.
3. Place the slices on the baking sheet and bake for about 3 hours, flipping over halfway between.
4. Turn off oven but leave the chews inside the oven as it cools. These will keep in a sealed container for up to one to two weeks.
