As dog owners, we always want the best for our furry friends, especially when it comes to their treats! Many store-bought options contain unnecessary fillers, preservatives, and artificial ingredients. That’s why homemade dog treats are a great alternative—you know exactly what goes into them. These Pumpkin Biscuits are not only simple to make but also packed with nutrients that support your pup’s health.

Why Pumpkin?

Pumpkin is a fantastic ingredient for dogs! It’s rich in fiber, supports digestion, and is packed with vitamins A and C. Plus, dogs love the taste! When paired with whole wheat flour and a touch of cinnamon, these biscuits become a crunchy, tail-wagging snack.
