I've told a lot of you about how keeping a can of pure pumpkin in your pantry closet is important, and can help your puppy or dog with an upset stomach, but many of you have struggled with how to get your puppy or dog to eat it! Some fussy puppies turn their noses up to eating pure pumpkin from a spoon or lapping it up from a bowl. So how do you get your dog to eat it???? The answer is pretty simple and has been under our noses the whole time: Simply make Pumpkin Dog Biscuits! All our dogs love their treats and eat up the biscuits and bones we give them!!! So it's time to put on your apron, buy a dog bone cookie cutter and get creative!! :) We all bake cookies for our hubbies and kiddies, it's time to do the same for our furry family members too!!
Our dogs love these simple biscuits and sick or not sick, they make great treats! They're delightful!! This is also a nice fall recipe for a seasonal treat for your dog! :)
Pumpkin Dog Biscuit Recipe
2 eggs
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
2 tablespoons dry milk
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
2 1/2 cups brown rice flour *
1 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and pumpkin to smooth. Stir in dry milk, sea salt, and dried parsley. Add brown rice flour gradually, combining with spatula or hands to form a stiff, dry dough. Turn out onto lightly floured surface (can use the brown rice flour) and if dough is still rough, briefly knead and press to combine.
Roll dough between 1/4 - 1/2" - depending on your dog's chew preferences- and use biscuit or other shape cutter to punch shapes, gathering and re-rolling scraps as you go. Place shapes on cookie sheet, no greasing or paper necessary. If desired, press fork pattern on biscuits before baking, a quick up-and-down movement with fork, pressing lightly down halfway through dough. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and carefully turn biscuits over, then bake an additional 20 minutes. Allow to cool completely on rack before feeding to dog.
*Brown rice flour gives the biscuits crunch and promotes better dog digestion. Many dogs have touchy stomachs or allergies, and do not tolerate wheat.
Makes up to 75 small 1" biscuits or 50 medium biscuits.
**Also please note: This is not professional medical advice. These biscuits are a heathy everyday treat, and useful for a dog with a sensitive stomach, or minor digestion issues. If your dog is showing any signs of serious distress, remove all food and contact your veterinarian immediately.
