Dive into these delicious Halloween dog treat recipes that not only bring the flavors of fall but also ensure our furry friends aren't left out of all the Halloween fun. While all of the trick-o-treaters snag sweets and candy, your doggie will be enjoying their own tasty treat. Check out these three easy recipes!
Here are three terrifyingly, tasty Halloween dog treat recipes:
-
Boo Blueberry Bones
Ingredients
- 1 cup blueberries
- ½ cup canned pumpkin (only pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling)
- ½ cup natural peanut butter (ensure that it does not contain xylitol)
Mix pumpkin & peanut butter together in a bowl. Fold in blueberries. Press mixture into silicone baking bone molds. Freeze for 3 hours.
-
Spooky Strawberry Ghouls
Ingredients
- 6 Strawberries, washed and hulled (top and center removed)
- ½ cup plain, low-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 - 3 tablespoons natural peanut butter (ensure that it does not contain xylitol)
- 12 Carob Chips
Gently fill hulled strawberries with creamy peanut butter (½ tsp to 1 tsp each). Be careful to not overstuff. Dip the strawberries in a bowl of well-mixed yogurt to coat, tip first. Place strawberries onto a parchment-lined baking sheet with the peanut butter end down. Freeze strawberries for 1 hour. Remove from the freezer. Dip frozen strawberries in yogurt again. Place two carob chips for the eyes onto each strawberry. Freeze for one additional hour.
-
Sweet Potato Flax Dog Treats
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Flax Seed
- 1 1/4 cups Rolled Oat Flour
- 1 4 oz. Jars of Sweet Potato Baby Food (or 1/2 cup of cooked and mashed sweet potato)
- 2 Tbsp water
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper. In a food processor, grind flax seeds to a powder. Add rolled oats and blitz until it is a floury texture. Add sweet potato and blitz until combined. Add water as necessary to achieve a well-mixed dough. If the dough is too sticky to work with, cover and refrigerate to give the flax seed time to expand. Use additional flour to roll out dough. Cut out cookies using any shape cookie cutter. Place on the parchment-line baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool before serving.
Remember to always check that ingredients are safe for your specific breed and size of dog. As you dive into these homemade dog treat recipes, you're bound to get a tail-wagging approval from your doggie. Keep the festive spirit alive and ensure your dog enjoys Halloween as much as you do!
