Pet Halloween Baking and Treat Shop

BE INSPIRED TO MAKE IT HOMEMADE:

Halloween treats aren’t just for people, this is a great holiday and season to prepare pet-friendly and pet-healthy treats, snacks and lick-or-treat goodies to share.

Make a batch of Halloween pet treats for your own dog or cat, share them with furry friends, or prepare individual treats for a neighborhood Lick-or-Treat event.

We recommend keeping recipes simple, use ingredients appropriate for pets, and skip chocolate, candy, xylitol and all other ingredients that aren’t pet-safe.

Toxic Ingredients to Strictly Avoid

Xylitol / Artificial Sweeteners:

They cause rapid, life-threatening blood sugar drops and lead to liver failure.

Grapes & Raisins:

Always avoid as they can cause sudden kidney failure.

Alliums:

Onions, garlic, chives, and leeks are not safe for pets and cause damage red blood cells.

Yeast Dough:

Expands in the stomach of pets and can produce dangerous alcohol levels.


*If your pet ingests any of these items, take note of the amount and call your veterinarian immediately.

If baking isn’t your thing, store-bought pet treats work just as well, but make them unique by dividing them into small Halloween bags and tie with jute or ribbon. Drop them into Halloween treat bags, donate them to a local pet shelter, or give them away to your favorite pets.

10 Halloween Treat Ideas for Dogs

We often get together to make Christmas cookies, why not changes things up a bit and make Halloween Pet cookies, treats, bites, snacks, biscuits or your favorite pet goodie. Gather the ingredients, find the right baking tools, and invite a few pet-lovers to join you, sharing everything and allowing everyone to take home their goodies. Here is some inspiration to get the ideas flowing with 10 Homemade Halloween treat ideas:

  • Pumpkin Paw Treats – Bake simple pumpkin dog treats and use paw-print, bone or Halloween-shaped cookie cutters to make them party-ready. Pumpkin is not only a wonderful Fall flavor, but very healthy for pets.
  • Mini Spooky Cutout Cookies – Make small pet-safe cookies shaped like ghosts, pumpkins or bats. Mini sizes are especially useful when you’ll be handing treats out to lots of Lick-or-Treaters. Use small Halloween cookie cutters to make the shapes.
  • Frozen Bites – Spoon a pet-friendly pumpkin or spiced mixture into Halloween silicone molds and freeze. These are best for a party at home where treats can stay frozen until serving time.
  • Peanut Butter Pumpkin Bites – Combine pet-safe peanut butter with pumpkin for an easy seasonal dog treat. Always check peanut butter labels carefully to be sure they contain no xylitol and not artificial or regular sugar added is recommended.
  • Sweet Potato Chews – Buy or make thinly slice sweet potatoes. Dehydrate them for a simple homemade treat with naturally festive orange color. Use an air fryer to make them quickly with nice crunchy results.
  • Halloween Training Treats – Add tiny bite-size treats rather than full size pet treats to small Halloween bags. They are perfect for rewarding pets wearing costumes, posing for photographs or making their way through a Lick-or-Treat event. These make a great gift for new puppies adopted in the Fall season.
  • Cat-Sized Halloween Bites – Don’t forget the cats. Prepare small cat-sized treats or bag store bought ones in cat-sized Halloween bags. If making homemade, use a cat-appropriate recipe and package them separately from dog treats so pet parents can easily choose the right bag.
  • Personalized Treat Bags – Bake one favorite recipe or buy pre-made treats and divide the treats into small Halloween bags. Add a simple label with the treat name and ingredients so pet parents know exactly what’s inside. You can also add a tag with each pet’s name to make them even more special.
  • Lick-or-Treat Variety Bags – Mix two or three small homemade treats into individual bags to create a little Halloween sampler. Keep portions small, the fun is in getting a special treat, not filling the bag.
  • Sew Handmade Treat Bags – Recycle old apparel, find fabric you have around the house, or grab the latest Halloween printed fabric and sew small bags to house homemade Halloween treats. These cloth bags can be reused to hold poo bags, training treats, or pay it forward filling them again and again.




A Lick-or-Treat Tip: Keep dog and cat treats in clearly marked containers, package treats individually when possible, and include ingredient information with homemade goodies. It makes handing out treats easier and lets pet parents decide what’s appropriate for their pet.
