Autumn is the season of pumpkins — and that’s good news not only for people. Pumpkin is one of the safest, most nourishing vegetables you can share with your dog or cat. It’s rich in natural fibre, gentle on the stomach, and perfect for creating quick, healthy Halloween treats.
At My Sweet Pet UK, we believe every snack should support wellbeing — not just taste good. That’s why we’ve prepared simple pumpkin treat recipes your pets will love.
Baked Pumpkin & Oat Biscuits
Ingredients:
½ cup plain pumpkin purée (unsweetened, unspiced)
1 egg (optional for cats — use yolk only)
2 tbsp oat flour or rice flour
1 tsp coconut oil
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 175 °C.
Mix all ingredients into a soft dough.
Shape into small rounds or bone shapes.
Bake for 15–20 minutes.
Cool completely before serving.
Why it’s healthy: Pumpkin provides fibre and beta-carotene for digestion and eye health. Oats are gentle on the gut, while coconut oil supports skin and coat.
Freeze for 2 hours, then let soften slightly before serving.
Perfect for digestive support after exercise or during teething.
