❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Pumpkin Cookies for Dogs

1. Can I use pumpkin pie filling instead of pure pumpkin puree?

No, you should only use pure pumpkin puree. Pumpkin pie filling has added sugar and spices like cinnamon and nutmeg which can be harmful to dogs.

2. Are these cookies safe for all dog breeds?

Yes, these cookies are safe for most dogs. But always check with your vet if your dog has allergies or specific health conditions before introducing new treats.

3. How many cookies can I give my dog per day?

These are treats so they should not make up more than 10 percent of your dog’s daily calories. For a medium sized dog, one or two cookies per day is a good amount.

4. Can I substitute the whole wheat flour with something else?

Yes, you can use oat flour or coconut flour instead. Keep in mind that coconut flour absorbs more liquid so you may need to adjust the amount.

5. How should I store these pumpkin cookies?

Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. You can also freeze them for up to three months.
