As the air gets crisper and leaves begin to fall, it's that spooky time of year again! Halloween is just around the corner, and The Hungry Puppy couldn't be more excited. But it's not just humans who can partake in the fun; our furry friends should be included too. That's why we're sharing some safe and spooky DIY Halloween Dog Treats that you can make right at home.
Firstly, it’s crucial to remember that while our Halloween treats might be full of chocolate and sugar, these ingredients are not safe for dogs. But don’t worry, we have some healthier alternatives that your pooch will love. The first recipe is our Pumpkin and Peanut Butter Dog Treats. They are simple to make and require only four ingredients: whole wheat flour, eggs, pumpkin puree, and peanut butter. We recommend using a brand like Nutrisource's PureVita Nutritious Pure and Natural Holistic Peanut Butter Dog Treats as a base, which you can conveniently find on our website, thehungrypuppy.com.
Another spooky treat you can try is our Apple and Oat Dog Treats. These are a great option for dogs with a sweet tooth. You'll need oats, an apple, an egg, and water. For the apple, we recommend using a food processor to ensure it's finely chopped and safe for your dog to eat. Oats are a great source of fiber for dogs, and you can find them in many of our pet food products, like Merrick's grain-free Real Chicken & Sweet Potato Recipe.
If you’re feeling particularly festive, you can even get creative with the shapes of your treats. Use Halloween-themed cookie cutters to shape your treats into pumpkins, ghosts, or bats, adding a fun touch to these wholesome treats.
Remember, while making these treats, hygiene is essential. Make sure all utensils, bowls, and your hands are clean. Also, ensure that all ingredients are safe for dog consumption. Brands like Blue Buffalo and Wellness, which are top-searched brands on Google, offer a variety of natural and grain-free options that are perfectly safe for your furry friend.
After whipping up these tasty treats, why not bring your dog to our Dog Park? It's free and open all the time to the public. Let your pup run off some energy while you enjoy the crisp fall air. If you’re unable to visit our store, don’t fret. We also offer curbside pickup, FREE Local Delivery, and Nationwide Shipping.
Lastly, as we celebrate Halloween, we also remember our pets who have crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Our Pet Memorial Park offers a space for you to paint a memorial rock and place it in our rock garden, a beautiful way to remember your beloved pet during this season of remembrance.
