Have you ever made your own dog treats?
These pumpkin dog treats are really easy to make and significantly cheaper than store-bought treats.
Making your own treats also give you complete control over what goes into them. These treats contain only wholesome ingredients.
Pumpkin and flax are both relatively high in fiber, this can be helpful if your dog is experiencing an upset stomach.
Lola was nice enough to help me test this recipe.

The recipe calls for 1/2 baking powder. Half tablespoon or teaspoon?
Good catch! It’s supposed to be tsp.
How long do these stay fresh?
I didn’t have a bone cookie cutter. Rolled them into thinish logs and then squeezed and shaped into bones.Came out pretty good.

Hi. Good morning! I am making the pumpkin dog treats for Nick and Twigg today
Can I batch cook and freeze these?
Lola is beautiful!
How long do these stay good for?
I made this Recipe for my Goldendoodle for her first birthday! I used cookies cutters from Amazon, so there are many different shapes and sizes. I made plenty, so I will be handing them out to other dog owners! I never bake, so they don’t look the best, but they still turned out great! Great recipe, bear plate!

I was wondering this too? How long can they be kept?
Can the wheat flour be substitute for coconut flour??
Do you refrigerate? And shelf life would be nice to no.
Love them! Made them small for training purposes. I’d like to know how long they stay fresh for and should they be kept in the fridge?

Jessie, my Airedale, loves them. I use my pizza cutter and just cut small nickel sized squares.
