Peanut Butter Pumpkin Pupcakes – homemade dog cupcakes made with peanut butter and pumpkin. How cute are these for a dog birthday party?!

If your dog can’t have pumpkin or just doesn’t like it, I also have a Peanut Butter Pupcakes recipe!

If this is your first time here, I’m kind of a crazy dog lady.

I have 3 dogs – you can see them in their Halloween costumes here. They are my constant companions, my co-workers, my hiking buddies, and the greatest source of comfort during hard times.

I’m definitely the dog lady that makes homemade treats (I have an entire category of homemade dog treats), I buy matching holiday sweaters for the dogs, and they all have birthday celebrations every year.

I made these Peanut Butter Pumpkin Pupcakes to celebrate Clementine’s (the little white poodle mix) adoptiversary a couple weeks ago and how cute are they?!

Is Peanut Butter Safe For Dogs

Yes, peanut butter is safe for dogs but check the label before you buy!

Don’t feed any peanut butter that lists xylitol in the ingredients. It will make dogs incredibly sick. I have never come across a peanut butter that includes it but I always like to remind you guys to avoid it.

I tend to stick with peanut butter that only has peanuts listed in the ingredients. No added sugar or oils or anything like that. I figure it’s healthier for the dogs and humans in my house.

My favorite peanut butter is Crazy Richard’s because it’s only 1 ingredient and it’s really delicious.
