A Fun Fall Recipe for Your Dog

In addition to cooler temperatures and falling leaves, autumn offers many delicious treats for dogs. Though our furry friends can’t partake in Halloween candy or Thanksgiving dinner, there are plenty of seasonal snacks for them to enjoy.

A fall favorite like pumpkin pairs perfectly with a year-round crowd pleaser like peanut butter in these dog-safe autumn snacks.
