Homemade Pumpkin Peanut Butter Dog Treats


Homemade dog treats? Yes, our dogs tend to be a bit spoiled. We talk about them like they are our children-- and in a sense, they are! When we first got Brandy, she itched constantly. Turns out she is sensitive to wheat and corn.. which is in most store bought dog food and treats. After switching her to a food free of these two ingredients, her symptoms cleared up and it was like she was a brand new dog! I then went on a recipe search for homemade dog treats and found one for Pumpkin Peanut Butter "cookies" on Jenny's Recipes. And boy do our kids dogs love them! Want to spoil your pooch, too? Here is the recipe!

1 & 1/4 cup flour  (I used rice flour, because of the allergies)
1/2 cup pumpkin puree (you can use canned)
1 egg
1 TBSP honey
2 TBSP Peanut Butter
Dash of cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350. Mix all ingredients together thoroughly in a large bowl. Drop by the spoonful onto a greased cookie sheet and bake for about 12 minutes. Makes about 24 "cookie" treats. Let cool and your dogs can enjoy (not all at once, of course!).

What are some other ways you've spoiled your pets?
