Halloween isn’t just for the kids — your dog deserves to join in on the fun too! Whether you’re planning a spooky night in or heading out for a festive walk, homemade Halloween treats are a great way to show your pup some love. Best of all, you can keep things healthy, natural, and tail-waggingly delicious.
Here are a few easy, wholesome Halloween dog treat recipes you can whip up in under an hour — plus a quick tip if you’re short on time.
1. Pumpkin & Peanut Butter Bites
Perfect for: Sensitive tummies and autumn lovers
Pumpkin isn’t just a Halloween staple — it’s great for digestion too. Combined with dog-safe peanut butter, these treats are full of fibre and healthy fats.
You’ll need:
- 120g oat flour (or blended oats)
- 100g pure pumpkin purée (no added sugar)
- 2 tbsp natural peanut butter (xylitol-free)
- 1 egg
How to make:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C.
- Mix all ingredients in a bowl until a dough forms.
- Roll out and cut into fun Halloween shapes (bats, bones, ghosts).
- Bake for 20–25 minutes until firm.
- Cool completely before treating your dog.
Top tip: Store in an airtight jar for up to a week — or freeze for longer.
2. Spooky Sweet Potato Chews
Perfect for: Chewers who love something to gnaw on
Sweet potatoes are rich in vitamins A and C and make a naturally chewy, nutrient-packed snack.
You’ll need:
- 1 large sweet potato
How to make:
- Preheat oven to 150°C.
- Slice the sweet potato into ½ cm thick strips.
- Bake on parchment paper for 2–3 hours, turning halfway through.
- Cool before serving.
These chewy treats are ideal for teething pups or dogs who love to keep busy.
3. Apple & Cinnamon Biscuits
Perfect for: Dogs with a sweet tooth (minus the sugar!)
You’ll need:
- 1 apple, grated (core and seeds removed)
- 100g oat flour
- 1 egg
- ½ tsp cinnamon (optional)
How to make:
- Mix ingredients until combined.
- Roll into small balls and flatten slightly.
- Bake at 180°C for 15–20 minutes.
Your kitchen will smell amazing — and your dog will be first in line for taste testing!

A Final Tip
Always remember that treats should make up no more than 10% of your dog’s daily diet, and new ingredients should be introduced gradually — especially for dogs with sensitivities.
This Halloween, skip the sugary sweets and share something your dog will truly love — whether it’s a homemade bake or one of our naturally wholesome treats.
Happy Howl-o-ween from the Nutriment Natural Treats team!
