It's the spooky season which means everyone is enjoying a treat or two. Why shouldn't your pup join in on all the fun? We think these DIY treats from Okonomi Kitchen are perfect for celebrating Halloween, or just all year round! Not only are these dog treats super easy to make, they are also vegetarian and made using the ingredient of the season - pumpkin!
We love making our own dog treats as it means we know exactly what's going into them so you can customise them to your pup's own tastes. Making your own treats can also be a great way to save some money as you can make a large batch and freeze some for a later date. Plus these treats are perfect for using up those leftover pumpkins and keeping them out of landfill. These super simple treats only take 4 ingredients and a food processor to make and they are Hiro + Wolf approved!
Ingredients
