Pumpkin Cinnamon Dog Treats

Lucky for Chloe, we had some pumpkin left over from Thanksgiving. So I decided to make Chloe some Thanksgiving treats, since she is too young to eat scraps of people food.

Ingredients:

• 4 C Quaker Oatmeal, Apple Cinnamon
• 1 egg
• 1 C Pumpkin (100% pumpkin, NOT pumpkin pie filling)
• Dog bone cookie cutter, found here
• Wax paper

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Combine oatmeal, egg, and pumpkin in a large bowl until blended into a paste.
3. Dump mixture onto wax paper. Put another piece of wax paper on top and pat down until 1 inch thick.
4. Using the dog bone cookie cutter, cut out pieces and transfer for a wax paper covered cookie sheet.
5. Cook for 13 minutes and let cool.

Warning: since flavored oatmeal has high amounts of sugar, you should avoid giving your dog high amounts. But I’ve given Chloe one of these a day and she seems to be doing okay.
