Description
These Pumpkin Turmeric Dog Treats are homemade anti-inflammatory bites that support joint health and digestion, perfect for senior dogs or pups with sensitive stomachs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin (unsweetened)
- 1/2 cup oat flour
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
- Optional: 1/4 tsp black pepper (for turmeric absorption)
- Optional: 1/2 tsp fish oil (for joint support)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix the pumpkin and egg until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, combine oat flour and turmeric.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until a thick dough forms.
- If using, add black pepper or fish oil at this stage and mix well.
- Roll the dough into a log and slice into coin-sized pieces, or use mini cookie cutters for shapes.
- Place treats on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, until golden and firm. For softer treats, bake for 20–22 minutes.
- Let cool completely before serving or storing.
Notes
- Use only plain canned pumpkin, not pie filling.
- Store in an airtight container for 5 days at room temperature, 2 weeks refrigerated, or up to 3 months in the freezer.
- Add mashed banana or peanut butter if your dog is picky about turmeric flavor.
- Black pepper helps with turmeric absorption, but use only a small amount.
