01 Nov Cranberry Pumpkin Dog Treats

For today’s handmade happiness, we’re in the kitchen cookin’ up some delicious Cranberry Pumpkin Dog Treats for the upcoming holiday season.

Homemade dog treats are the perfect way to give your pup some extra love and this dog treat recipe combines the flavors of fall! 

Made with real pumpkin, oats and cranberries these tasty tidbits are guaranteed to get those tails wagging. Just like our popular Pumpkin Kiss Dog Cookies, these treats are quick and easy to make.

You’ll need…

• 1.5 cup oats
• 1/2 cup 100% Pure Pumpkin Purée (pumpkin only, not the pie filling!)
• 1/4 cup dried cranberries (diced)
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp honey*
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• Cookie sheet or Bone treat pan

* Raw honey should not be fed to puppies or dogs with compromised immune systems.

Time Required: 15 minutes prep. Bake for 10-15 minutes at 350°F.

Servings: 20 yummy treats

Note: If you have any concerns about what you’re feeding your dogs or questions regarding possible allergic reactions, please contact your vet.

1. Quickly pulse oats in a food processor 3-4 times to break down the oats a bit. (You’re not looking to make oat flour, just to chop the oats into smaller pieces.)
2. Dice the dried cranberries. Set aside.
3. Combine all ingredients (except cranberries) in a large bowl and mix until well combined. Then fold cranberries into the mix.
4. Roll mixture into balls and place on a baking sheet. Flatten each with your thumb. Or you can fill small baking molds to create fun-shaped treats.
5. Place in an oven that has been preheated to 350°. Cook for 10-15 minutes. Allow to cool, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or place in the freezer for up to 3 months.

These turn out amazingly delicious! Best of all, you’re guaranteed to hear the sound of puppy toes doing a happy dance on your kitchen floor while you bake!
