What's a Good Dog Treat Recipe?

By Jennifer P. April

Do you have pumpkins decorating your home or yard for Fall? Why not make a tasty and healthy dog treat recipe?

It's the carotenoids that give pumpkins their orange color. Pumpkins are loaded with Vitamin C, A, iron and fiber. Pumpkin is filling and can be used to help your dog lose weight. (One reader said she added pumpkin to her dog's kibble to help her lose weight so she could continue in agility classes. The pumpkin worked.)

Pumpkin has lots of beta carotene which is an essential antioxidant. As you know, antioxidants fight cancer and everyone can use more help in that department.

Pumpkin is versatile, it can be used in sweet and savory dishes and as a decoration. It keeps for months whole and can even be baked whole in your oven. Just puncture a few holes in the shell to allow the steam to escape and then bake until done. It'll be much easier to slice once it's cooked.

Pumpkin can even keep your eyes healthy by preventing cataracts.

A dog treat recipe can be versatile and you can add many things to it to benefit your dog's health.

The health benefits of pumpkin are many for both canine and human. If your dog has never enjoyed a homemade dog treat before get ready for some licks! Dogs seem to know when you've baked for them and they're a very appreciative audience.

What are you waiting for? An easy and healthy pumpkin dog treat recipe is waiting for you!
