It’s pumpkin spice season, so why not get in the spirit with pumpkin-infused DIY dog treats? Pumpkin keeps a dog’s urinary and digestive track running smoothly thanks to a healthy dose of fiber, and it’s got plenty of great nutrients for your pet, too.
As always, be sure to check with your vet if you’re concerned about food allergies or sensitivities in your dog.
Pro tip: if you’re not into baking, you can always buy your dog some healthy pumpkin and cinnamon biscuits or pumpkin bites.
