Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup grated carrots
  • 2 cups oat flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, grated carrots, and egg. Stir until fully incorporated.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the oat flour to the wet mixture, stirring continuously until you form a slightly sticky dough.
  4. Shape Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into stick shapes suitable for dog chews.
  5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the shaped dough sticks onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there is enough space between each stick for even baking.
  6. Bake: Bake the chews in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and feel firm to the touch.
  7. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the chews to cool completely on a wire rack before offering them to your dog.

Notes

  • Make sure to use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, to avoid added sugars and spices that could be harmful to dogs.
  • Oat flour can be substituted with gluten-free flour if your dog has sensitivities.
  • Store the chews in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze for longer storage.
  • Always supervise your dog when giving new treats to watch for any adverse reactions.
  • Consult your veterinarian before introducing homemade treats into your dog’s diet, especially if your pet has allergies or health conditions.
