This Easy Pumpkin Dog Treat Recipe is a treat that Kylie has been dying to make for our dog Bentley! Her and Bentley are like bffs and they are always together, so much so that Kylie has been known to taste his treats for him before. (No joke) (I have included affiliate links to products I love.

Now Kylie is my pumpkin fanatic so when she found out Bentley could have dog treats made with pumpkin she was on a mission to make him happy. That she did, she was so excited when we found some cute little cookie cutters shaped just like the little dog bone treats. I am sure in the future we will be making more treats since the dog devoured these!

Easy Pumpkin Dog Treat Recipe Ingredients:
- 2 cups of flour
- 1 egg
- 3/4cup of pumpkin
- 1/3 cup of peanut butter
Easy Pumpkin Dog Treat Recipe Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees!
In a bowl mix together your egg, peanut butter, and pumpkin. I let Kylie use my hand mixer to do this. Now you could do everything at once but I wanted her to see what the flour did to thicken up the mixture.
Once your wet ingredients are mixed slowly mix in the flour. We put in a cup then added in 1/4 cup each time, we ended at about 2 1/8 cup of flour so just watch the thickness of your dough you want this like a sugar cookie dough.
Flour your counter and roll your dough into a ball
Roll your dough out flat on to your floured counter
Cut out your cookies to the thickness you like
Lay out on a cookie sheet and bake for about 20 to 30 minutes until they are done
Allow to cool off and share the treats with your dog! Kylie tried a bite of one and liked them!
As you can tell Bentley was excited to try out the treats and loved them as well!
Have you made dog treats before for your dog?? What did you make?? Now for the proof that Kylie tries all of his food, she sampled a dog treat while we were camping from a store to make sure it was good enough for him!

Tina says
Do you use white flour or wheat?
Jenny says
We used white flour to make ours
Cece says
Are these crunchy or soft ? My dog will only eat crunchy treats. Also , do they need to be kept in the refrigerator ?
Jenny says
Ours turned out crunchy which worked out since that’s what our dog prefers as well. I kept them in a bag on the fridge and he hasn’t reacted.
Cece says
My dog has many allergies, like wheat, and eggs, so let people know when making dog treats they can use oat flour and 1 THIRD CUP OF Unsweetend apple sauce for every egg the recipe calls for.
Kris says
Thanks for the alternative to wheat flour. Where can you buy oat flour?
Sharon says
I put oats in my blender and made my own flour. My granddaughter has to have everything given free.
Sharon says
Auto correct! Gluten free not given free.
Teri says
Please edit to use only natural peanut butter with no salt added. The excess salt can be harmful to dogs. I make peanut butter dog treats all the time for my “pack” too!
Natasha says
It’s not about the salt or being “natural”. It’s about xylitol. That’s what you DON’T want in the peanut butter. Natural isn’t always healthier.
Melba says
I’m going to comment here:
There should NEVER be xylitol in natural peanut butter. Natural peanut butler’s ingredient list should read: peanuts
Jenifer Schmitt says
I am going to try this the but I will give the website 5stars ??
Melissa Baker says
Do you have any diabetic friendly recipes for dog treats?
Natasha says
I know coconut flour is good for dogs with diabetes.
Elaine says
Would you recommend those for cat treats as well. I have 4 and the treats are getting to be too expensive for me.
pat says
Will this Kill fleas on my cat? I know grind pumpkin seeds are for fleas.
Jenny says
I am not sure. I have never heard of that before.
dr.seg says
No, it will not kill fleas. Neither will ground pumpkin seeds. The only 100% guaranteed way to get rid of fleas on a cat is a product like Advantage or Frontline (Advantage works best). Talk to your veterinarian about your cat’s flea problem, it can cause serious issues if left untreated.
Teresa says
Did you use All purpose flour?
Jenny says
Yes I did
Natasha says
It’s pumpkin puree, correct? Not pumpkin filling??
Jenny says
Yes pumpkin puree
Shelly says
Can you substitute crunchy peanut butter?
Susan says
Two cups of four ?
Jenny says
Oh my gosh fixed that thank you!
Cindy says
Do these have a lot of farce for diabetic digs
Beth says
huh what?
Christina says
Our 4 dogs LOVE these!!! Thank you ,,,
Mel says
How long do they last? Do you keep them refrigerated always?
Barbara Cardany says
How long will these keep? Do they have to be put in fridge?
Jeanette Scott says
How long do the treats keep? How fast is the turnover rate?
Jenny says
Our dog went thru them in about a week. I would just watch for the freshness it depends on how fast you give your dog treats. I plan to try to freeze them next time.
carolyn skillin says
I always make treats for my family dog’s and put them in the freezer but a few in the frig. I always use wheat flour . Our goats like them too .
Alicia Cervantez says
How long are they good for?
Brittany says
I think the overall premise is good however your information is lacking some serious knowledge of how humans foods and products interact with animals digestion’s. Please consider doing more research on the topic and including it in your post next time… your readers did more work in their comments then you did on this recipe.
Jane says
Last comment was a little rude to the writer. No one is going to agree with everything. I think we all know she had good intentions in this recipe posting. I am a vet and this is safe for pets on special occasions. However, some pets DO require special attention to foods so always talk to your vet for questions.
Roy StJohn says
FLOUR, EGG, PEANUT BUTTER, PUMPKIN? CANNOT FIGURE OUT FOR THE LIFE OF ME WHAT THE “OFFENDING” INGREDIENT IS BEING REFERRED TO BY THIS RUDE POSTER. YEAH, GIRL, IF YOUR DOG IS ALLERGIC TO ANY OF THESE INGREDIENTS THEN COMMON SENSE DICTATES YOU WOULD NOT FEED THESE TO YOUR DOG! IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING! YOU’RE WELCOME. (ROLLING MY EYES).
COOKEATGO.COM – MY HERO! I’VE BEEN TRYING TO GIVE PUMPKIN OUT OF THE CAN FOR STOOL BINDING ASSISTANCE AND THE BOYS HAVE NOT BEEN THE LEAST BIT THRILLED. NOT SURE IF BEING BAKED IN WILL STILL HAVE THE DESIRED EFFECT BUT WE’RE GONNA GIVE IT A SHOT. TUVM!
MichelleA says

Debbie Dobson says
How long will these last inthe refrigerator? Can they be frozen?
Btw, my dog loves them! Easy to follow recipe.
Jenny says
Mine normally don’t last longer then 5 days cause Bentley loves them! I would freeze them and there shouldn’t be any issues
Jacqueline Wehage says
Do you know the calories on these treats?
Jenny says
No I don’t I would plug in the ingredients on an app like My Fitness Pal and then adjust the servings to what you are able to get out of your batch.
Marie says
Great easy recipe! Made them this morning for my pups. They love them.
Cindy says
Mine are in the oven now for my 2 furry angels, can’t wait for them to try them!!!
Jenny says
Did they love them?
Crystal Ezell says
What can I use for my dog that needs grain free foods
Dorothy says
Your instructions for the dough say “roll into a bowl.” Should this be “roll into a ball”?
I will make these when our dogs need some treats. Thanks!
Jenny says
Oh that’s a total typo!! I’ll fix it now thank you!!
Lynsey says
My 11 year old lab loves these!! But, he recently got put on a low fat diet for pancreatitis. : ( what can I sub for the peanut butter to keep these delish but also low fat? Would it affect the recipe if I took out the PB altogether?
Lynsey says
What’s a good peanut butter substitute for a low fat option?
Jojo says
Thank you for sharing!! My puppy, Remi, LOVES these!! I did use Whole Wheat Flour, and she begged for more!!
Thank you!!- Jojo
Jenny says
YAY!! Our Bentley loves them!!
Elise says
Jasper likes these treats, but Charlie Boy thinks it Doggy Crack!! He goes crazy when its baking.
**Food grade Diatomaceous Earth will kill fleas & eggs. Read up on it in Holistic vet books. Must be SURE its “FOOD GRADE” & not the stuff for the swimming pool!!
Leah says
My dogs love these. I always make a double triple batch and hand them out! I was wondering if apple would work as well as pumpkin. Pumpkin hasn’t been on the shelves lately. TIA
