Christmas cookies for us people are still not made but Frisky’s Christmas treats are already done. That’s the order of business in our household! I want to share two of Frisky’s favourite pumpkin dog treat recipes for you to try out. These nutritious treats are easy to make and Frisky thinks they taste great! I don’t have a bone shaped cookie cutter but Frisky doesn’t seem to mind. Please leave us a comment below to let us know what your dog thinks of them. Merry Christmas from Frisky and Pauliina!
