My pooch enjoys these. I like that for the few minutes it takes to make-you come away with a decent amount of doggy treats. I cooked mine on a stone & they were really, really crunchy. They were cut into about 1 1/4" size treats, because they were smaller in size I think I should have reduced baking time so they weren't so crunchy you may "break you canines". I'll definately make them again.

Puppies love them... I used a bone shape cutter and thought it best to put three hole in the mid-section, I used a toothpick, to even cooking. It worked great. Thanks for the recipe!!!

Ive been looking for a dog treat with pumpkin as I lost my recipe. Pumpkin has ENORMOUS health benefits for peolpe and animals. I remember feeding pumpkin pie to my grandmother dying of brest cancer complications in the hospital. First of all it's a GREAT source of Vit.A(beta-carotene)(about 300% per can of Libby's Pure Pumpkin-not the pie mix) which is beneficial to antioxidants, night vision(lutein and zeaxanthin-they help the lens of the eye)Therefore, they may help prevent the formation of cataracts and reduce the risk of macular degeneration, a serious eye problem than usually results in blindness, cell growth, and reproduction. Pumpkins have a lot of common nutrients, like Vitamin C, potassium, iron, zinc, and fiber. Iron is needed by red blood cells. Zinc deficiency may be related to osteoporosis of the hip and spine. And fiber is important for bowel health. So now that you know how benefical pumpkin is for your dog .... get an extra can and make a pie or some yummy pumpkin bread for yourself, and of course look on 'ZAAR for the recipes! It also maintains the health of the skin (prevents acne and dermatitis)and mucus linings. These linings are the body first defense against infection that is why vitamin A helps fight colds and infections, particularly in the mucous membranes of the eyes, ear, nose, throat, lungs and bladder. It may also reduce breast cancer. The Native Americans used it as both a food and a medicine

My fussy little poodle Brandy just loved these! I did add in a bit of brown sugar. I have never made doggie treats using pumpkin before, but this was a huge hit, thanks so much from Brandy and myself!...Kittencal
