Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350° F

In a large bowl, stir together the pumpkin, honey, water, oil, egg & vanilla.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and cinnamon.

Using a mixer, slowly combine the dry ingredients into the wet.

Place loafs about 2 inches apart & bake for 35 minutes.

Place the loafs on a cutting board, and slice into 1/2 inch slices.

Place the slices cut side down on the baking sheet.

Bake for 20 minutes. Turn the slices, bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until hard and crunchy.

Your dog should be the judge of how hard and crunchy you make this treat. If you know your dog prefers softer snacks, you can shorten the second baking time to 10 minutes per side. Or, if your dog loves to chow down on hard biscuits, increase the second baking time to 30 minutes per side and cool in the oven once it is turned off.

You don't have to have an Italian Greyhound, or any other Italian breed of dog to make this dog treats recipe. Every dog, no matter what his pedigree will love the taste of these crunchy, lightly flavored pumpkin biscotti. Give these dog treats wrapped in a coffee mug. The mug is for the human, but the homemade dog treats will be adored by the four legged recipient.
