Peanut Butter Dog Treats Recipe

Like many recipes, cooking your own homemade peanut butter and pumpkin dog treats at home is SO easy, you'll definitely cut back on the store-bought treats after you realize how simple it to make homemade dog treats.

We love giving these pumpkin dog cookies to our furry friends since they're high fiber and the pumpkin helps to keep their stools regular. Even better? These are human friendly too so you and your pup can share!

After our 11-year-old labs were BOTH diagnosed with terminal cancer and stopped eating their regular dog food, we instantly switched to making them homemade dog treats and food. I honestly think they lived months longer than they otherwise would have just because of their homemade dog cookies and dog food.

How to Make Peanut Butter and Pumpkin Dog Treats

Making peanut butter pumpkin dog treats is as simple as combining 4 ingredients in a small bowl, shaping them into flat rounds on the pan, and baking them for 10+ minutes. Easy peasy.

Prep Ingredients

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
2. Add all ingredients to a small bowl and mash until well combined.
3. Add the uncooked mix by the tablespoon onto a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper. Flatten slightly with the flat edge of a fork

Cook

1. Bake for 10-12 mins. (10 for soft cookies).
2. Cool for at least 1 hour before feeding them to a dog.

Dog Treats Recipe Tips

• The homemade dog cookies can be stored on the counter for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week. They can also be frozen for 1-2 months.

• Be sure to purchase peanut butter that doesn't have sugar added, it's usually called natural peanut butter. Either smooth or chunky will work.

• The cookies won't spread on the pan during baking so you can adjust the size as desired to make either smaller bite-size dog biscuits or larger ones. You'll of course need to adjust the baking time if you change the size of the treats.
