Ingredients
  

  • Old-fashioned rolled oats (you’ll blend some into oat flour)
  • Unsweetened canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • Egg
  • Natural peanut butter (xylitol-free and unsweetened)
  • Ground cinnamon (optional, dog-safe in small amounts)
  • Ground ginger (optional, tiny pinch)
  • Water (as needed for texture)
  • Optional add-ins: finely chopped parsley, unsweetened applesauce, or a splash of low-sodium bone broth

Method
 

  1. Simple, clean ingredients: Just oats, pumpkin, egg, and a few pantry staples. No added sugar or mystery flavors.
  2. Easy to customize: Adjust the size, add dog-safe spices, or swap flours to suit your pup’s needs.
  3. Budget-friendly: Uses affordable ingredients you likely already have at home.
  4. Great texture: Crunchy on the outside, slightly tender inside—perfect for most dogs.
  5. Holiday-friendly: Festive look and warm pumpkin aroma that fits right into the season.
