Pumpkin Biscuits for Dogs

A homemade Halloween treat made with four supermarket ingredients and a scoop of Better Hydration.

Halloween brings a lot of sweets into the house, and some of the most common ingredients in them are toxic to dogs. Chocolate, raisins and the sweetener xylitol all turn up in Halloween treats. These pumpkin biscuits give your dog a batch of their own. They use fresh pumpkin, oats and an egg, with a scoop of Better Hydration mixed into the dough.

Ingredients

Makes about 20 · Prep 15 minutes, plus roasting the pumpkin · Bake 25 to 30 minutes

  • 150g fresh pumpkin, roasted and mashed

  • 1 scoop Better Hydration

  • 1 egg

  • 150g oat flour (or oats blitzed in a blender)

  • 90 to 180g oats, added as needed

Method

  1. Roast the pumpkin. Peel, deseed and cut into 2 to 3cm cubes. Roast at 200°C (180°C fan) for 25 to 35 minutes until soft, then mash and leave to cool completely.

  2. Mix the dough. Turn the oven down to 160°C (150°C fan) and line a baking tray with parchment. In a bowl, mix the pumpkin, egg and Better Hydration until smooth, then stir in the oat flour.

  3. Firm it up with oats. Fresh pumpkin holds a lot of water, so the dough will be soft at this stage. Add oats a handful at a time until it rolls without sticking.

  4. Cut and bake. Roll to about 1cm thick on a floured surface and cut out your shapes. We used ghosts, bats, witch hats and pumpkins. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until firm and golden, then leave to cool completely before serving.

Storage and feeding

Keep the biscuits in an airtight container for 3 to 5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. Feed 1 to 2 small biscuits per 5kg of body weight, alongside a balanced diet, and always have fresh water available.

Why Better Hydration

Better Hydration is a functional hydration drink for dogs, made with MCTs, collagen, ginseng, lion’s mane and nutritional yeast. Most days it goes in the water bowl. In this recipe, a scoop goes into the dough.

This recipe is for general information only and is not veterinary advice. Treats should be fed alongside a balanced diet. If your dog has a sensitive stomach or specific dietary needs, introduce new foods gradually and speak to your vet.
