It’s officially pumpkin spice season for humans—but that doesn’t mean your pup can’t get in on the trend! Pumpkin is a dog superfood, packed with fiber and high in nutrients like potassium, iron, and Vitamins A and C. This nutritious ingredient is often used to cure a variety of canine digestion issues, too. Below, Ollie found some of the best (and most fun!) pumpkin recipes that are as healthy for your pup as they are Insta-worthy.
Pumpkin Apple Doughnuts
Topped with a pup-friendly frosting, these apple-flavored doggie doughnuts are packed with anti-inflammatory ingredients like ground flaxseed and cinnamon.
Pumpkin Peanut Butter Bones
These pumpkin-flavored treats are drizzled with a bacon and peanut butter glaze (two of most pups’ favorite ingredients.)
Pumpkin Carrot Pupcakes
Pumpkin puree and Vitamin A-rich carrots make up these cupcakes. They are then topped with a peanut butter-flavored yogurt frosting.
Pumpkin Puppuccino
It’s the pup version of the PSL! Top this treat off with whipped cream (if your dog isn’t dairy-sensitive or lactose intolerant) and a pinch of cinnamon. Note: Cinnamon isn’t toxic for dogs, but nutmeg is a no-no.
