Grain free homemade dog treats--is there such a thing? Could be if you look for specialty flours at your grocery store. Trupanion pet insurance blog just published my pumpkin treat recipe and I expect it to be popular with the dogs who can't eat wheat.

1000's of dogs are developing chronic itchy skin, "hot spots", and to many trips to the vet because they can't eat wheat or have another food sensitivity.

If you have a wheat sensitive dog, you may have searched to find a treat your furry friend can eat. It's tough. You can stand in the aisles and read labels or you can grab one of the newly available flours and make your own treats in under 30 minutes.

And they're really easy!

Instead of wheat, rye or white flour, you make these pumpkin "pupcakes" with garbanzo and fava bean flour. Made from two kinds of beans-garbanzo and fava-this flour has the same consistency as regular flour. And I found it as easy to work with as regular white or wheat flour. The brand I used is Bob's Red Mill and you may have to look in the natural foods aisle. Most of my local groceries carry it but they have it in different locations.

Here's how you make the treat. Mix up some canned pumpkin, the garbanzo & fava bean flour and dry powdered milk. Because of the moistness of the pumpkin, the consistency is going to be pretty wet. Bake.

I used a mini muffin tray for this pumpkin dog treat recipe and the dogs loved them!

Be aware though, because the pumpkin is so moist, you'll need to keep them in the refrigerator.
