Peanut butter and pumpkin are two foods that most dogs and humans can agree on. And since your pup deserves nothing but the best, why not make them a treat that might get your mouth watering, too? This pumpkin and peanut butter biscuit recipe creates 40 two-inch treats your pup will love — and it couldn’t be simpler to make.

Plus, the ingredients are super nutritious. Pumpkin is a superfood that’s low-calorie, low in sodium, and high in beta-carotene, potassium, and vitamin C. Peanut butter’s wonderfully beneficial, too; it’s full of iron, calcium, protein, and tons of vitamins... and, needless to say, dogs go wild for it.
