These No-Bake Pumpkin Dog Treats are quick and easy to make. Plus, dogs love their chewy texture and healthy ingredients. *Only use peanut butter that is xylitol-free, and feed these in moderation to your dog.
Now that is fall is here, we are enjoying the change of seasons in our new home. The kids love the yard, the crazy amount of pears our tree is producing and the falling leaves. IT has been a fun experience thus far, and even our dog is liking it.
We wanted to create a fun recipe DIY for all you dog owners! Pumpkin is not just for people, and in fact, my dog loves it so much. I discovered this while making pumpkin muffins. Some of the pumpkin puree fell and she licked it up in seconds.
These No-Bake Pumpkin Dog Treats are honestly so good even my kids love them. I like to think of them as a “healthier” pumpkin treat. Made with honey, peanut butter, oats, cinnamon, and pumpkin—there is nothing not to love!

Hi! Found your recipe today and made it to give meds and vitamins / supplements to my goats – they practically mauled me for them! Very big hit! I also shared a little with my dogs and they were smitten!
Hi Millie, thank you for stopping by! So happy to hear that!
My doodle loves these. They freeze very well and they last a long time in the fridge. If my dog doesn’t want to eat her food I will crumble one of these up in the food and she gobbled up everything in the dish. So easy to make. Leave them frozen and just take out a couple in the morning for the day. They will last a long time that way. Giving it a 5 star rating.
I would say no longer than 4 days in an airtight container. You can freeze them though!
Do you know about how long they will last in the refrigerator?
They would not bind as well or be sweetened.
can honey be omitted .. asking for a friend
Thank you, so much for sharing this! My dog still enjoys these wholesome treats.
Getting ready to make these for the second time. These are great for giving meds to my dogs. My last batch i made I put half in fridge and half in freezer. At night I rolled out 2 balls with their meds inside. They never noticed. I also used raw local honey because it is a natural food preservative and helps with allergies. Thank you for this amazing recipe that has helped in so many ways. Will keep making this one.
Hello,
Yes, these do! Thank you for stopping by!
Do they have to remain refrigerated?
I used instant oats, as that was all I had on hand. I needed an extra cup or so to soak up the moisture, but they were quick and easy to make. I also used paper towels to blot some of the moisture out of the pumpkin. Great recipe!
Hi, I am sorry but I am not sure and don’t want to provide misinformation.
Can the treats be frozen ? I only have one dog and it made a large batch
Hi Karen,
Sorry but I cannot say if they can or cannot successfully. I have only ever made them no-bake. I am sure you could try though possibly with one to see if it works?
Can these be baked to increase the longevity?
Hi, in regards to the dog treats you cannot substitute the oats for those.
I suggest trying to get the oats and refrigerating what you have for a few hours.
Sorry about this!
Amy
Please help me I did not realize how little of the old fashion oatmeal I had left. Can I substitute instant oatmeal the old fashioned oatmeal?
Hello, they will not stick together with this particular recipe. Sorry about that!
Could the honey be omitted? Or would they not stick together?
Hi, cannot say personally because I have never tried it. I do believe, however most things can be frozen. Why don’t you try like one to test?
Do you think these treats can be frozen?
That is awesome to hear! So glad they enjoy them!
I was searching for an easy to make treat that I can tuck medicine into and tried this one, I doubled it so I have medicine treats and just because treats. OMG, call these things crack balls, because my dogs go NUTS when they see the container come out. I have five dogs so imagine the circus.
That is amazing! Thank you so much for stopping by and letting us know!
My dog likes these treats BETTER than the store bought. She knows when I’m making them because she stays right there by my side until I finish.
My puppy would LOVE if I made these pumpkin treats. What a fun idea for our fur babies!
These would be heaven for pups! I miss my little Rat Terrier, yours looks very similar my mine. Adorable.
I wish I had a dog this we be at the top of my treat list!
Pumpkin was my dog’s favourite treat. We used to give it to her to help her digestion. It’s really good for them! If we get carpet again, I’ll have to remember this product.
Those would be so perfect for our BIG dogs! PS, we need some of that stain master like crazy. Our big dogs = a big mess.
Yiu have one lucky doggie because those treats look yummy! Very Fall festive too!
I bake dog biscuits for my pup regularly but I want to try your no-bake treats! My dog loves pumpkin so I know these will be a big hit!
I need these treats and this cleaner in my life. I have two dogs. I love them to death, but sometimes they still make messes.
Yum! I love that they look like little meatballs. I enjoy making dog treats but have never made them in this shape and it looks so fun! I hear you on the dog peeing in the house. Our new Havanese likes to pee on our fridge or stove sometimes. I don’t get it because he knows how to go to the bathroom outside! I need a bottle of Stainmaster for sure! #client
