3 super simple DIY dog treats

When you make your own dog treats, you know exactly what you are feeding your best friend and you can adjust the portion size if they are getting a bit pudgy!  

Recipe 1

½ cup smooth peanut butter (no sweeteners or sugar)

1 large egg

• Preheat your oven to 180C  
• Mix the pureed pumpkin, peanut butter, and egg together until combined. Stir in the flour but if the mixture is a bit dry, add some or all of the milk. The texture should be like dough.
• Roll out the dough to about 6mm thick.  
• Using a cookie cutter, cut the treats out of the rolled dough.  
• Keep rerolling and cutting until all the dough is used up.  
• Bake for 12-20 minutes.  
• Cool on a wire rack.
