Today, September 13th is the official release of Cooking For Sugar. To celebrate, I am sharing one of SUGAR’s favorite homemade dog treat: Pumpkin Apple Dog Treats
Pumpkin Apple Dog Treats
Ingredients:
1/2 cup of pumpkin
1/3 cup of apple sauce
1/4 cup of rolled oats
1 tsp chia seeds
Toast rolled oats in the oven at 350 degrees for 10 minutes (optional: sprinkle 1 tsp of honey)
In a bowl, combine the pumpkin, apple sauce, and toasted oats.
Using your hands, roll dough into balls.
Place in freezer for 15 minutes. Store in refrigerator for up to 5 days.
* You can use a canned pumpkin but homemade is better. Learn how to Roast A Pumpkin and Make your Own Dog Safe Pumpkin Puree. Also, most store-bought apple sauce contains sugar and additives. Learn How Make Your Own Dog Safe Applesauce.
Golden Excited for the release of Cooking For Sugar!
Special Golden Thanks to blog pals Gina (Oz the Terrier), Ann (Pawsitively Pets) and Melissa (Barking from the Bayou) for book cover reviews.

Sandy Weinstein says
September 13, 2016 at 3:29 PMi used to make home made treats for my 3 gals. i would use turkey bacon, garlic powder, eggs, water, and organic whole grain flour. i have not done this in many yrs though. i still cook but only make steamed veggies, steamed mustard greens, and used to make their entire meals. i would buy 97% lean ground sirloin. sometimes i will cook salmon for them.

September 13, 2016 at 9:56 PMCongratulations on the publication of your book! Question on the pumpkin apple balls: are the chia seeds added to the bowl with the rest of the ingredients & mixed in with them? (As opposed to,sprinkling them on top of the balls ) thanks!

September 15, 2016 at 7:34 PMI don’t make treats as often as I’d like to. But when I do make them, pumpkin is always a favorite. I’ll usually buy some pumpkins in the fall to cook, puree, and freeze for using throughout the season for treats, or even just as a food topper!
