Our favorite DIY Halloween dog biscuits

Pups love these homemade pumpkin ginger dog biscuits.

Sure, your dog loves doing tricks, but the best part of Halloween for any pooch? It’s the treats.

Human candy isn’t healthy for pets, but these tasty snacks are ghoulishly good. Better yet, they’re healthy, handmade and fun to bake at home!

Ingredients

  • 3 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened pumpkin (not pie filling)
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup water

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 275 degrees F.
  2. Combine flour and ginger in a bowl; in another bowl, combine pumpkin, egg, and coconut oil. Add the flour mixture until crumbly. Using a hand or stand mixer on low, slowly add water 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough comes together but is not sticky.
  3. On a floured surface, roll dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut with a 3-inch cookie cutter. If using a bone-shaped cutter, press holes in the center of the biscuit with a fork. If using a pumpkin shape, press lines into the biscuit with the edge of a spoon.
  4. Place biscuits 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for about 2½ hours or until bottoms are lightly browned and treats feel firm when pressed (tops may crack).
  5. Cool biscuits on a wire rack and store in an airtight container.

Always consult with your veterinarian before changing your pet’s diet.
