Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

3 cups whole wheat flour

Wet Ingredients

1 cup pure pumpkin purée (NOT pumpkin pie filling)
2 eggs
1/2 cup grated carrot

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (177°C) to prepare for baking the treats.
Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, pure pumpkin purée, eggs, and grated carrot.
Incorporate Flour: Using a rubber spatula or spoon, mix until most of the flour is incorporated, then knead the dough by hand to form a uniform consistency.
Roll Dough: Lightly dust your countertop with flour, then roll the dough out to about 1/8 inch thick using a floured rolling pin.
Cut Treats: Use a 2-inch cookie cutter to cut out dog treat shapes and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake: Bake the treats for 18 to 20 minutes. For a crunchier texture, you can bake them a few minutes longer.
Cool Completely: Allow the treats to cool fully on a wire rack before serving them to your dog to ensure they are firm and safe to eat.

Notes

Make sure to use pure pumpkin purée, not pumpkin pie filling, which contains added sugars and spices harmful to dogs.
Store treats in an airtight container for up to two weeks, or freeze them for longer storage.
If your dog has food allergies, consult your vet before introducing new ingredients.
You can substitute whole wheat flour with oat flour for a gluten-free option, but adjustments to dough consistency may be needed.
