1. Homemade Pumpkin Peanut Butter Pup-kin Bites

Peanut butter is always a good ingredient to put into homemade dog treats. Not only will the natural oils support your dog’s overall health, the protein will give them an extra boost! These biscuit bites will leave your furry fiend drooling for more of the nutty-pumpkin goodness.

NOTE: This treat is not suitable for dogs on grain-free diets.

Ingredients;

• 1 cup of pumpkin purée
• 2 eggs
• ½ cup of xylitol-free peanut butter
• ¼ cup of olive oil
• 2 ½ cups of whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon of baking soda

To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and leave to get nice and hot. Grab a bowl and mix the pumpkin purée, peanut butter, olive oil, and eggs together. Slowly add the baking soda and flour to the bowl and stir. Once the dough starts to become stiff, knead it out, and roll with a rolling pin out flat. Using a cookie cutter of your choice, cut the dough into your Halloween shapes – a pumpkin would be pawfect.

Place into the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes. Store in an air-tight container in the fridge and give to your fluffy friend for a spooky little treat.

2. Ghoulishly Good Grain-Free Ginger & Apple Bites

This recipe is a perfect alternative for a pup on a grain-free diet. With so many doggy biscuits made from grain, it can be hard to find a suitable one for your furry friend, that’s why it might be best to make some from home.

Ingredients;

• ½ cup of diced apple
• 1 cup of brown rice flour
• ½ cup of Greek yogurt
• ½ tablespoon of fresh ginger
• 1 tablespoon of coconut oil

While the oven is heating at 350°F, add all the ingredients to a mixing bowl and stir together until blended into an even mixture. Pour the contents of the bowl onto a flat surface and knead. Take a rolling pin and flatten the mixture out, until about a ¼ inch thick. Cut into your chosen shape and place on a baking tray in the oven. Bake for 25 minutes or until the biscuits turn golden brown.

3. Boo-nana & Coconut Bones

These yummy Halloween bites are amazing! They’re packed with packed with potassium, vitamins, and fiber that may support digestive well-being.

Ingredients;

• 1 banana
• ¼ teaspoon of ginger (ground)
• ½ cup of melted coconut oil

Take the banana and mash up with a fork into a large mixing bowl. Add the melted coconut oil to the banana and stir the two together until blended into a doughy mixture. Sprinkle the ginger into the bowl and knead everything together.

Add the content into a silicone bone mold, making sure you fill it to the top. Pop into the freezer until set and test the bites on your pooch. The flavors, texture, and cooling temperature should make this treat a favorite with your furry friend! Store these bites in an airtight container in the freezer.

4. Almond & Oatmeal Bat Cookies

Making a few nibbles for your pooch at home can be extremely easy! These yummy goodies for your furry friend are just as simple as making a batch of cookies for a bake sale…

Switch on your oven to 350°F to start these yummy snacks for your favorite four-legged friend.

Roll the content out onto the side and flatten with a rolling pin – aim for ¼ inch thickness. Using a bat shaped cookie cutter, cut the dough and place the individual shapes onto a baking tray.
