Ingredients
- ½ cup pumpkin puree (make sure it is 100% pure pumpkin and NOT pumpkin pie filling)
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup natural peanut butter
Instructions
Add the pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, and peanut butter to a mixing bowl.
Mix well.
Spoon the mixture into silicone molds like these paw and bone-shaped molds.
Gently tap the filled molds on the counter to help remove any air bubbles and to even out the mixture.
Place the filled molds in the freezer for 3-4 hours or until frozen.
Once frozen, pop them out of the molds and store them in an airtight container, like a freezer bag, in the freezer.
Don’t forget to give one to your dog!
This is my dogs’ favorite part of making homemade treats!

Notes
Pumpkin has many benefits for dogs, but it needs to be given in small amounts. Too much pumpkin can cause an upset stomach or diarrhea in dogs.
You can use either canned pumpkin puree or make your own pumpkin puree by following the directions at Inspired Taste. Just be sure to skip the salt or any other seasonings when making pumpkin puree for dogs.
Place silicone molds on a baking sheet to make carrying them to the freezer easier.
If you don’t have silicone molds, ice cube trays work great too!
Always consult your vet before giving new foods to your dog, especially if they have known allergies or other health conditions.
