It's been a while since we posted a homemade dog Treat recipe so we thought with the first day of Fall coming up next week, it's the perfect time to make a healthy Fall-inspired treat. We decided to jump on the Pumpkin bandwagon and whip up a quick and easy Pumpkin Spice dog treat.
When I said quick and easy I wasn't joking, these treats have only 3 ingredients - pumpkin, greek yogurt and cinnamon. I believe it's so important to know what exactly is in my dog's treats and one way of doing that is by making them at home.
Before we get started, let's talk about the benefits of these three ingredients.
Pumpkin - Low in calories, canned pure pumpkin is a great source of fiber which helps with digestion and stomach issues. Just a small amount can help with diarrhea or constipation.
Greek Yogurt - Plain greek yogurt is high in calcium and protein. It also has probiotics that boost immunity and also help with digestion.
Cinnamon - Just a small amount of cinnamon a day can help regulate blood sugar, it has anti-inflammatory properties and also has the ability to slow or stop bacteria growth.
