If you’re anything like me, your pet is an important part of your family which means he or she gets presents on holidays. Normally I buy our Duke a couple toys and a bag of treats but sometimes even dogs need a homemade treat that was baked with extra love.
(Yes, I found a way to force pumpkin on even the dog. It’s good for their digestive system. Who knew!)
Duke loves them and while I’m too much of a chicken to try them, they’re bound to be good with pumpkin and peanut butter!

I have a dog bone cookie cutter…Would be cute with that!

I wish Bijou would eat them – I’ve made him things and bought him treats at three different pet bakeries, and all he wants are nasty smelling chewy treats. Go figure!

What an adorable idea! I’m sure our little Bailey would go crazy for these! Maybe I will try some in my downtime next week?

Cute. I may have to make these for our guys, along with their standard yearly nylabone present. Yep if your dog ever get diarreha, you can give them canned pumpkin to take care of it.

I used to make PB cookies for Shane before we found out he had allergies. I really think he is simply allergic to dairy but our vet told us to stay away from PB and Wheat products as well.
The cookies turned out so good looking.

I might have to make these for the dogs stockings awe well. I am being cheap this year and making all my presents.

Aw what a good pet owner you are. Unfortunately, I can’t really make anything for my CATS that would also be good for humans too… they pretty much only eat gross things!
