Homemade Dog Treats

These Homemade Dog Treats blend natural peanut butter, coconut oil, pumpkin puree, applesauce, cinnamon, and whole wheat flour into a dough rolled to half-inch thickness. The treats bake until firm, providing a wholesome snack for dogs with a soft yet sturdy texture. Cinnamon adds a mild spice that is safe in small amounts, and the combination of pumpkin and applesauce adds moisture and subtle sweetness. The recipe respects canine dietary needs by avoiding sugar and added salt.

  • Let treats cool completely before storing to prevent mold growth from retained moisture.
