Homemade Halloween treats are a fun and creative way for pet parents to include their dog in the festivities. While Halloween dog costumes may not be a hit with every pup, these Halloween treats for dogs are practically guaranteed to please! 

Use these all-natural recipes to whip up some scary simple DIY dog treats for Halloween this year, and tag us on your socials to show off the results!

How to Make Halloween Treats for Dogs

1. Gather your supplies & ingredients. Make sure you’ve got everything you need on hand before you get started.

2. Create a safe space for your dog while you work. Dogs can be tempted to snatch unattended treats-in-progress, so keep your pup occupied with a chew toy in their crate (or other area safely out of the way).

3. Preheat your oven or make room in the freezer. Once your Halloween dog treat mixture is ready to bake or freeze, you’ll be glad you thought ahead!

4. Prep a storage container. For baked dog treats, wait until cooled, then store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days (or in the freezer for up to 3 months). Store frozen dog treats in the silicone mold if it has a lid, or transfer to a freezer bag and use within 3 months.

Whether store bought or homemade, treats shouldn’t make up more than 10% of your dog’s daily calories, so help them indulge responsibly!
