3 Fun Halloween Themed Dog Treat Recipes

October 29, 2014 By Jessica Rhae 3 Comments

Wowza! Halloween crept up on me this year. We didn’t go to any dog costume events but it’s not too late for me to make Chester and Gretel some Halloween goodies so we can party at home. Here are some fun dog treat recipes I have my eye on:

1) Peanut Butter & Pumpkin Spice Dog Treats – from Kol’s Notes

If I was going to bake something, I would bake these and cover them with the peanut butter and carob icing (also listed in this recipe). If you can’t get the Fruitables Pumpkin & Ginger Digestive Supplement listed in the recipe, you can substitute with pureed, unsweetened canned pumpkin.

2) Candy Corn Frozen Dog Treats – from Beagles and Bargains

I am partial to frozen dog treats because they are so easy. I was never a fan of candy corn myself but I think these are super cute! And I’ve always got bananas sitting around that I didn’t get to fast enough for my liking (I like them on the green side).

3) Pumpkin Spice Puppuccinos – from Lola the Pitty

OMG…these look so good I want to eat them myself! I am not sure I am brave enough to sweet talk a Starbuck’s Barista out of sample cups but I feel like these wouldn’t be the same without that special touch.

Thanks so much for including our “Puppuccinos” in this post! I love the other two ideas as well, the candy corn idea is adorable and we already know the pups and I are a sucker for pumpkin treats – sharing :)!

I can't always share my trail snacks with the dogs
