This Oct. 31, give your dog something to howl about by serving one of these spooky-shaped Halloween treats! Made from pumpkin, peanut butter and a bit of cinnamon, these treats are as good for your pup as they are tasty!
These cookies are easy to make and can be shaped anyway you’d like! We chose to make ours on the spooky side by using Halloween cookie cutters and dressing them up with some icing and food coloring/icing gel. Let your pup indulge a bit this holiday by serving him/her a tasty and scary treat!
