Grain-Free Pumpkin Dog Treats

Published A Few Days Ago

One of our readers, Elliot, asked us to come up with a few grain-free recipes for Asterix, his German Shepherd, and I was happy to oblige. You’ll be seeing some more in the weeks to come. This is my first crack at using buckwheat, which is grain-free, despite its name… it’s actually a seed! Buckwheat is a low glycemic food, so it won’t spike your dog’s blood sugar. As well, it contains magnesium – this chills out your dog’s blood vessels, which improves blood flow, nutrient delivery and the overall cardiovascular system. How’s that for a super-healthy treat!

Makes 25 cookies

Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups buckwheat flour

2 large eggs

1/2 cup flax seed meal

If your dog eats a grain- or gluten-free diet, feel free to send us your recipes. I’d be happy to try them out and put them on the site for everyone to sample.
