FAQ's

Is pumpkin good for dogs?

Yes! Pumpkin is a super food for your dogs (just like it is for you). Pumpkin can help aid in digestion and it can even help remove excess water from your dogs digestive track, making it a star ingredient if your dog isn't feeling well. It also supports the immune system and eye health. You can include pumpkin in your dogs diet every day.

How should I store homemade dog cookies?

These Pumpkin Peanut Butter Dog Cookies are soft and chewy, so they need to be kept in an airtight container so they don't dry out.

Can I freeze homemade dog cookies?

Yes! If you have a small dog (like I do) who can't eat a whole batch of cookies in a week, then you can freeze them. You would freeze them just like you freeze human cookies, in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
