Recipe and Instructions
To make these delicious pumpkin coconut oil dog treats frozen, you'll need just a few simple ingredients. Each recipe has only a few ingredients, all of which are dog-safe.
Here are the ingredients you'll need: pumpkin puree, yogurt, coconut oil, and a few cute little dog bone silicone molds. You can also add a plastic bottle with a 1/4 inch diameter opening to make filling the molds a breeze.
First, combine the pumpkin puree and yogurt in a large bowl and mix until smooth. Then, spoon the mixture into the molds, using a bench scraper or knife to flatten out the top and remove excess batter.

Benefits and Safety
Plain canned pumpkin is a safe food for most dogs to have in their diet when given in moderation.
You should always check with your veterinarian before adding any new food to your dog’s diet just to be on the safe side.
Expand your knowledge: Horse Treats Safe
Pumpkin contains a good mixture of vitamins, like vitamins A, E and C, as well as iron and potassium.
It’s recommended to only give dogs plain pumpkin and never the pumpkin pie filling because that contains nutmeg which is toxic to dogs.
Too much pumpkin can cause some dogs to have bouts of diarrhea due to the high fiber content.
