If you’ve been following our pumpkin series, then you probably have some leftover pumpkin from our Pumpkin N’ Nut Cookies and Pumpkin and Yoghurt frozen treat recipes. So let’s use it up by making these healthy and delicious gummy treats for your dog.
Gelatin is incredibly healthy for your dog. It contains amino acids that are beneficial for skin, hair, and joint health. It’s a great supplement for dogs from puppy all the way into their senior years.
It also provides a great texture for a treat. You can add a Gummy to their dinner or just pull one out of the fridge as a special treat. Your dog will love these! I let mine lick the bowl after I was done pouring them into the mould and I have never seen a cleaner bowl.
