Our German Shepard, Indigo, is allergic to so many foods that it became almost impossible to find dog treats I could buy for her. She can't have wheat or egg and I needed something in addition to chicken strips as a treat. So, I decided to play around in the kitchen and created these Pumpkin Oatmeal treats that are gluten-free. They quickly became a favorite!
I've been wanting to share this recipe on the blog for a while now and kept trying to get a good photo of Indigo & Lily with the treats, but found it an impossible task as they eat them before I can even pick up the camera! So, here's the recipe with a snuggle pic of them, which I have a million of.

Dogs love pumpkin and it's good for them too. Thanks for sharing your recipe with us. It's good to buy some of these ingredients in bulk and bake up a batch at once. Sometimes at pet stores you can find the treat makers too, which make it even easier to get a wide range of interesting shapes, for those of us who like to play around with the designs.
