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 bowl
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!

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.
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
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?
