Make healthy, homemade dog treats using simple ingredients like peanut butter and pumpkin. These easy dog cookies are safe for your pet.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour (or substitute with oat flour for grain free dog cookies)
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
  • 1/4 cup natural peanut butter (ensure it does not contain xylitol)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for flavor)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter and pumpkin puree. Mix until smooth.
  3. Add the egg to the mixture and beat until fully incorporated.
  4. Gradually add the flour and cinnamon (if using). Mix until a stiff dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add flour one tablespoon at a time.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to about 1/4 inch thickness.
  6. Use a cookie cutter (a small bone shape or simple circle works well) to cut out your dog cookies.
  7. Place the cutouts onto the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the cookies are firm to the touch.
  9. Turn off the oven and let the dog biscuits cool completely inside the oven with the door slightly ajar for 30 minutes to help them dry out and become crunchy.
  10. Store your homemade dog treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or freeze for longer storage.

Notes

  • Always check your peanut butter label; xylitol is toxic to dogs.
  • For a softer treat suitable for puppies, reduce the baking time by 5 minutes.
  • You can substitute the whole wheat flour with oat flour to make these grain free dog cookies.
  • These are considered human grade dog snacks, but they are formulated specifically for canine consumption.
