Pumpkins for Dogs

Roasted pumpkin – simply chop into pieces, discarding rind and innards and
place on a lightly oiled tray before baking for approximately 30 minutes.

Pumpkin Kong – mash some cooked pumpkin with a little natural, unsweetened
yoghurt and spoon into your dog's Kong or other stuffable toy.

Frozen Pumpkin Treats - in a small bowl, add equal parts of non-sweetened
pumpkin puree and non-fat plain yogurt. Stir to combine. (Add water if you want
to stretch your batter). Pour into molds and place in freezer until solid. Un-mold
the treats and place in a Tupperware or plastic bag for long-term storage.

No Bake Coco-Nutter Pumpkin Balls

• 1 cup unsweetened pumpkin puree

• 1/2 cup unsweetened peanut butter (no xylitol)

• 1 cup rolled oats

• 2 tbsp coconut oil

• 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup

• 1/2 cup unsweetened dried coconut flakes

1. Melt the coconut oil.

2. Line a baking tray or large dish with baking paper.

3. Place ingredients (except dessicated coconut) into a food processor to combine

until the dough starts to hold together.

4. With lightly oiled hands, divide the dough roughly into quarters. Each quarter
should make about 8 biscuits, for a total of 32 cookies.

5. Roll each ball to a smooth and uniform shape and roll in a handful of coconut until
evenly coated.

6. Place biscuits into a lined tupperware container, layering with more baking paper if

necessary.
