I have been looking for a recipe for a dog treat that has pumpkin in it. I finally found a few and tweaked them to fit what I had in the pantry. I didn’t bother making any fancy shapes although the dough is the right consistency to do so. I have three very different size dogs and needed small and medium-size treats with a crunchy texture. The trick is to bake them and then turn off the oven (I crack the oven door) and leave them in there for another 20 minutes to allow them to cool and harden.
I used my pizza cutter and just made squares. The dogs won’t mind. Enjoy!!
