Ingredient
To make these homemade treats, you’ll need these ingredients:
- ½ cup pumpkin puree (make sure to avoid pumpkin pie filling)
- ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter (natural peanut butter is best but any brand that does not contain xylitol will work)
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 ½ cups oats (quick oats or old-fashioned oats)
Always consult your veterinarian before giving your dog a new food.
Directions
In a large bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, applesauce, peanut butter, and Greek yogurt.
Mix well.
Then add the oats. Mix well.
Place the mixture on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet and press flat, approximately ¼ inch thick. Then cut it into small squares with a pizza cutter or table knife.
Place the baking sheet with the apple and pumpkin dog treats in the fridge for a couple of hours.
Once the treats have chilled, transfer them to an airtight container or freezer bag and store them in the fridge or freezer.
Don’t forget to let your dog have a taste!

Tips
No-bake treats can be made any size you want. Just be sure to size them according to how big your dog is.
Little dogs can have fewer treat calories and should have smaller treats made for them than a large dog can.
I make all my treats Morgan-sized since she’s smaller, and either give them both one treat or sometimes give Luna two treats, since she’s four times the size of Morgan.
When in doubt on how big to make the treats, go smaller. It’s always better to give your dog fewer treats than they should have than more.
While pumpkin is good for dogs and has been suggested to help with both constipation and diarrhea, too much pumpkin can also cause stomach upset.
Greek yogurt is used in dog treats instead of regular yogurt because it has a lower amount of lactose. That said, exercise caution if your dog is known to have issues with lactose or a sensitive stomach.
No-bake dog treats will last up to a week in the fridge when stored in an air-tight container.
For those who make more than their dog can eat in a week, you can store them in the freezer for several months.

Making homemade dog treats doesn’t have to be complicated; sometimes the easiest recipes are the ones our dogs love most.
