Pumpkin Dog Biscuits
I don’t eat “junk food” and I won’t give it to my dogs either!
Making your own dog treats is less expensive, more wholesome and a lot safer than buying them at the market.  Dog biscuits are very easy to make.
With all the recent scares about pet treats, many people have started making their own.  At least you know you are using the purest and safest ingredients, so you have peace of mind.
Dogs go crazy over pumpkin (and peanut butter) and they will love these biscuits.  My guys go nutso over them.  FYI, if your dog is experiencing any stomach upsets, the very best thing you can give them is equal parts of pumpkin puree and plain white rice–and whatsmore, they LOVE it.

Update:  I’m disabling comments on this post reason being I’ve had numerous come through moderation from stern lectures (sorry I don’t need those) on canine nutrition all the way to raving dietary LUNATICS and I have no time for this and I’m not publishing baseless rants. My dogs eat grain and have not got a problem with it.  If you don’t feel comfortable giving your dog wheat/grain products, just don’t make the biscuits or substitute something grain-free.  It’s that easy, trust me.

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 tbsp non-fat dry milk
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
  • additional water to make a workable dough

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Mix all ingredients except the water. Dough will be crumbly. Add just enough water so the dough becomes elastic and pliable.
  • Turn out on a floured surface and knead a few times. Roll dough out to about 1/2-inch thickness. Using a cookie cutter, the top of a smaller glass or even a pastry cutter, cut into desired shapes.
  • Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Turn off the oven and let the biscuits sit in the oven until oven cools.
  • Remove biscuits to a rack to dry overnight. Makes about 20 biscuits (I used a medium bone cutter, approx 3-inches long)

    No offense, but I can't stay on this page…white on black is so hard to read. The recipe sounds great, though!

    Yeah, this look is getting really OLD, and it's being re-designed next week. Hope your dogs enjoy the biscuits.

    Is there an alternative to whole wheat flour if my dog is allergic to wheat & gluten? Rice flour maybe?

    Hi Shelley–thanks!!! That's an old comment though from before I had the blog re-designed. It was a black background with white text!!! Really hard on the eyes 🙂 If you go to Wayback Machine, you can catch a glimpse at what it looked like before!!!

    What is the shelf life of the biscuits?

    I've kept them for a week in a Lock & Lock container, but this was during the winter. I've never had spoilage, but I have multiple dogs. What I would do if I just had an "only" and the temp/humidity was a factor is, keep enough out for a day or two, and freeze the rest & deforst as needed. My other dog biscuit recipe is shelf stable. This one not so much because of the pumpkin.
