Pumpkin Oat Dog Biscuits
These biscuits are nutritious, fun and simple to make, and irresistible to pups of all levels of pickiness. Pumpkin and oats are both super good for your dog's digestive system so there is very little risk of these treats upsetting their stomachs. Pumpkin is a go-to for treating diarrhea, while oatmeal is full of fiber, protein and vitamins and is easy to digest. Dogs LOVE the sweet flavor of pumpkin! This recipe contains whole wheat flour so do not feed these to dogs that are allergic to wheat. I will create a gluten-free alternative to this recipe in the near future.
This recipe makes 12-18 medium to large biscuits.
