For this recipe, we used adorable bone-shaped cookie cutters to achieve the unmistakable dog treat appearance, use any cookie cutter shape you have available or slice the treats into bite-sized pieces using a sharp knife. Adjust the cooking time of the pumpkin dog treats depending on your dog, 10 minutes extra in the oven will cause a crunchy treat, whilst 5 minutes less will be soft and chewy, perfect for older dogs. Store these treats in an airtight container, up to 1 week at room temperature or 1 month in the refrigerator.
