Happy Howl-oween to you and yours!The various kong recipes I’ve posted in the past are some of the best received posts to-date, so today I’m sharing a festive “Howl-oween” kong recipe for your pups to enjoy. Last year I covered the benefits of including pumpkin in your pooches diet, so consider this recipe yet another trick up your sleeve.You can use canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling!) for this recipe, or you can roast a fresh one yourself. This recipe makes enough filling for two kongs, any extra can be refrigerated in a plastic container for up to four days: use it to stuff another kong or simply include it with your dogs normal kibble. You’ll need: 1/2 cup pumpkin puree1/2 cup cooked brown rice2 TBS peanut butter1/4 cup diced peas n carrots2 tsp cinnamon1/2 red apple: finely diced (do not include skin)2 small dog biscuits: broken into bitsMix the first 5 ingredients together. Stir to combine. Allow to chill and set in fridge for 15 minutes. Mix in biscuit bits, stuff kong and let your dog enjoy his healthy holiday treat! *For those of you with super strong chewers: try freezing the assembled kong for an hour first*Pumpkin can be messy, and might stain carpets and fabrics. This would make a great treat for your pup to enjoy in the crate or perhaps out in the backyard. Need to brush up on your pet holiday safety tips?
