I like to bake homemade dog biscuits for our four furry friends. This way I know exactly what is in them and they are healthier (and cheaper) than store-bought treats. Most of these ingredients you’ll find already in your pantry. Let’s make some Homemade Pumpkin Dog Biscuits!

Homemade Dog Biscuits Recipe

Homemade Pumpkin Dog Biscuits

I did buy a bag of the whole wheat flour and this is all I use it for. When I’m ready for a new batch, all I need to pick up is a can of pumpkin for about a buck! Each can makes about TWO batches, so double up and your pooches will have dog biscuits for weeks!

Another bonus to using pumpkin? It helps soothe puppy stomachs and relieves anal glands. Considering that milking my dogs’ anal glands is on the very bottom of my list of favorite things to do, I call that a win-win folks!

2 Tbsp Peanut Butter
2 Eggs
2 1/2 C Whole Wheat Flour
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 C Pumpkin (about half a can)
1 dog bone shaped cookie cutter

Combine all ingredients and mix until blended.  Use your rolling pin to work the mixture flat, then use your dog cookie cutter (here are a bunch to choose from!) to make them into little bones or paws.  Bake at 350° for 35 – 40 minutes, let cool and you’re done!  How precious are these?! Benson is ready for his! ♥

I’ve even tasted them (because I know what’s in them!) and they aren’t half bad! Haha!!

    Hi Ashley, I was so cheri excited to set both three cream of recipes. Ive been really sick for a few years no. Can't eat preservatives and wow so much. However, I love especially this time of year crain of mushroom soup. Buy alas I cannot eat it anymore. It blew my mind when my fav company started shipping high fructose corn syrup‍♀️. Ive taken to making an amazing mushroom bisque. But thats ait for one and I prefer not to freeze so much of something. So in really excited for these! Thank you!! Have you tried adding celery seed to celery soup. It can be blended smooth im sure‍♀️ I'll try it and the leaves are a great mention. I use them in everything salads etc. Yum! Ok of track. Lol n.y question here is te pup biscuits. I was about to jump up n down in excitement. I bought a biscuit baker even, after a few years finally just have it away, ohh buggers lolol the way it goes right! Anyway my guy refuses to eat anything that remotely smells like peanut butter and LOVES PUMPKIN Then I realized There's P. Butta in here. Do you have any idea of a swap I can use? I know he'll love these! Thank you again for ALWAYS SHARING SO MUCH! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY THIS CHRISTMAS SEASON AND THROUGHOUT NEXT YEAR

    I made and my dogs do love these. But they got moldy before we got thru them all. I have a ceramic canister for treats so I am not sure what went wrong. Advice?

          I picked up a dehydrator a few years ago. It takes longer but no excess heat. After that I bought one for my son at Christmas to use. Amazon has them starting at $34. i also saw that an air fryer can be used

    These are wonderful and well-loved by all Liberty's neighborhood doggies..... we make about 9 dozen to give out for Christmas treats every year! Our vet's office is a recipient as well! ( I've also used Sweet Potato Puree instead of Pumpkin which was well received. Licks and Woofs approved!

      You can use Bananas, my dogs go crazy for the cookies and I make. You can even mix pumpkin, plan yogurt with a little cinnamon. I use used yogurt cups. Fill to the top and once frozen you can give it to them. They will be busy between 5 to 30 minutes. The best thing once they are done you was the yogurt cup and reuse them.

        Sorry for got to add. You can get more information from the website Dogster.com. That is were I got my information from. I also do not give my dogs that much in a day. I may use a 3rd of that in a batch of cookies of my puppy popps.

      I would cut it in half or cut the top off then scrape the seeds and stuff out. Set the oven on 350* and set pumpkin cut side down on a sheet of parchment paper on a cookie sheet. Then bake till it is soft, you can test it by sticking the pumpkin with a fork. You will want the pumpkin to be soft enough to scrape out of the pumpkin and mash or put in a blender. I tried boiling one once and it was a soggy mess. I grow butternut squash in my back yard every year and I think I will use one for the dog biscuits.

        All parts of pumpkin are healthy. I cut up pieces and remove seeds. Put chunks and pulp in crock pot. Cook until the skin soft and can poke or cut with fork and put in blender or shake maker and make puree. I put in jars and ziplock bags and freeze so I have pumpkin any time !

    I made these today and my yorkie wasn't interested, but a friend's pitbull loved them. She will probably eat one later. Very easy to make. Thank you

    Hi there, I'm making these for my pups today but was wondering how long they keep for? Would love to make a lot of them but wanted to check first so I don't waste them.

      Hello! I keep mine for at least two months in an air-tight container and in the fridge. But we also have three dogs and we blow right through them so they rarely last that long. Ha!

    I was wondering if these are a harder crunchy treat or a softer one. My pup doesn't like hard crunchy snacks only soft ones and it is hard to find a good recipe that is soft.

      Hi! They aren't super hard. I bet if you baked them a short amount of time they would be softer still. I would try, or maybe even just a half batch?
