Recipe Notes
  1. Use plain pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
  2. The peanut butter must be xylitol free. Check the ingredient label carefully because some peanut butter products contain sweeteners that are unsafe for dogs.
  3. For the icing, use plain unsweetened Greek yogurt without added sweeteners.
  4. Because the yogurt icing adds moisture, these treats should be refrigerated and used within a few days. You can also freeze them for longer storage.
  5. These are treats and should be served in moderation alongside your dog's regular complete and balanced food.
