Blueberries remind me of warmer weather – and I could sure go for some of that right now. But that’s not going to happen (unless I hop on a plane to the Dominican), so this Beautiful Blueberry and Pumpkin Dog Treat Recipe will have to do… for now. The blueberries add a little sweetness to this homemade dog cookie, while the pumpkin adds some welcome digestive benefits. And because it happens to be winter, I used frozen blueberries instead of fresh and the treats turned out just fine.
