Make a batch for your own pup, or bag a few for the dogs on your street. Every recipe uses ingredients you can name, which is exactly what you want while the candy bowl is out.

Common questions

Is Halloween candy dangerous for dogs?

Chocolate, raisins and anything sweetened with xylitol are the big ones to keep out of reach, along with candy wrappers. Homemade dog treats let your dog join in safely.

Can dogs eat pumpkin?

Plain cooked pumpkin and 100% pumpkin puree are common in dog treats. Skip pumpkin pie filling, which has added sugar and spices.

What shapes work for Halloween dog treats?

Bat, ghost and pumpkin cookie cutters work on most biscuit doughs, and silicone molds in spooky shapes are great for frozen treats.
