Perfectly Pumpkin Paw-psicles

Perfectly Pumpkin Paw-psicles

Pumpkin isn’t just for fall — find out why these pumpkin popsicles are the perfect dog treat this summer.

Summer heat might have you pausing at the mention of pumpkin, but pumpkin is a healthy and delicious treat for your pup all year long.

Packed with vitamins A and C, pumpkin is a low-fat snack that can help your dog feel fuller and assist with digestion. For this cool delight, we’ve put pumpkin with yogurt for a probiotic– and calcium-packed pairing that will have your dog feeling good inside and out.

For a perfect touch, we found these adorable, silicone popsicle molds on Amazon! But you can use anything from a popsicle mold to an ice cube tray or paper cup to make these treats in the perfect size for your pup.

What you’ll need:

• 1 cup plain, puréed pumpkin
• 1½ cups plain, unsweetened yogurt
• 1 tablespoon honey
• Popsicle molds

Directions:

1. Mix together pumpkin, yogurt and honey.
2. Place into popsicle molds, and add sticks if desired (make sure to supervise if sticks are involved). You can also use dog bones or treats, which make fun, edible sticks.
3. Freeze until solid (about 6 hours).
4. If your popsicles get stuck, dip mold into warm water to loosen.

As with any treat, have fun with these! Add in your dog’s favorite fruit or veggies (sometimes I sprinkle them with frozen peas), or even swirl in peanut butter! You can add more or less pumpkin depending on how it affects your dog’s tummy.

Make sure to choose ingredients without sugar or sugar substitutes (like xylitol) which can be dangerous for your pet.

Pumpkin 

INGREDIENTS:

• 2/3 cup pumpkin puree
• 1/4 cup peanut butter
• 2 large eggs
• 3 cups whole wheat flour, or more, as needed

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat; set aside.
2. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat pumpkin puree, peanut butter and eggs on medium-high until well combined, about 1-2 minutes. Gradually add 2 1/2 cups flour at low speed, beating just until incorporated. Add an additional 1/4 cup flour at a time just until the dough is no longer sticky.
3. Working on a lightly floured surface, knead the dough 3-4 times until it comes together. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Using cookie cutters, cut out desired shapes and place onto the prepared baking sheet.
4. Place into oven and bake until the edges are golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.*
5. Let cool completely.
