Our two dogs are definitely part of our family.
Very spoiled, very well loved members of the family.
When we first adopted our dogs, we had no idea what we were getting into.
Thankfully, we had plenty of friends and family with pets who were able to give us all sorts of great advice on how to care for our little guys.
In no time, we felt like pros.
One of the great pieces of advice I got was to use PetArmor® Plus.
It’s super easy to apply and gives me great peace of mind that our dogs are protected.
We spend a lot of time outside. Before using PetArmor® Plus, I was always a little worried in the back of my head that we might not be protected from fleas and ticks.
Fleas and ticks can happen to the best of us! Thankfully now with PetArmor® Plus on our side, I can enjoy our outdoor playtime without fear of pests.
You can pick PetArmor® Plus up at Walmart while doing your other shopping or take advantage of their Grocery Pick Up service. Easy and affordable!
Fleas and ticks can be present year round — even in cold climates. They can also lay dormant for months before hatching, so we treat our dogs every single month, no matter what.
PetArmor® Plus is the perfect solution for protection, prevention and/or treatment of fleas and ticks. By using it as directed, it can stop infestations and help prevent reinfestation.
It’s a fast-acting, waterproof formula that helps break the flea life cycle by killing flea eggs and larvae for up to 12 weeks. It also kills ticks which may transmit Lyme disease.
You can also snag great savings now PetArmor® Plus with a Walmart-specific ibotta offer, valid until September.
We only have dogs, but PetArmor® Plus also has products for cats, too!
Stop by Walmart to find the right product for your dog or cat.
Once you’re home and enjoying some playtime with your favorite furry pal, I would suggest trying these easy, homemade pumpkin dog treats.
This is a simple and quick recipe that our dogs love — I promise your dogs will go crazy for this pumpkin peanut butter dog treats recipe as well. Tasty and fresh, you can’t go wrong.
These healthy, dog safe biscuits are so easy to make and your dogs will think they’re yummy. When done, they offer the perfect balance of crunchy and moist. Plus, they’re super cute. Win-win!
Pumpkin Dog Treats Ingredients
You’ll only need a handful of ingredients for this dog approved snack. Grab the following:
- ¾ cup pumpkin puree
- ½ cup no sugar or salt added peanut butter, ½ cup more for drizzle
- ¼ cup oats
- 1 egg
- 2 cups brown rice flour
How to Make Pumpkin Dog Treats
Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine all ingredients in order and beat until well combined. The dough should look crumbly but will stick when placed into a ball.
Split dough in half and roll into a ball. Place ball of dough between two layers of parchment paper.
First, flatten with the ball with the palm of your hand, and then roll with rolling pin. The dough should be about ¾ inch thick.
Once flattened, use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes.
Carefully lift and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat until all of your dough is used.
How to Bake Pumpkin Dog Treats
Place in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes.
For a crisper treat, flip over treats and cook for an additional 6 minutes or until crisp. You may need to adjust baking times depending on treat thickness and type of cookie sheet.
While the treats are baking, heat additional peanut butter for 20-30 seconds in the microwave or until smooth and creamy. Once treats are finished cooking, drizzle on peanut butter. Let cool completely before serving to your dog.
How to Store Pumpkin Dog Treats
Pop your treats into a sealed plastic bag or airtight container.
I used a medium-sized cookie cutter to create these. You could use a smaller cookie cutter and use them as training treats if you’d like. They are excellent motivation. 😉
I hope you’ll bake these dog treats soon — and of course, snag some PetArmor® Plus at Walmart!

Amazing smell while cooking these treats and I had one happy puppy!
Great recipe! About how long will these be good for if stored in an air right container ?
I stored in the fridge in an airtight container for a month and they were good! I’ve read they will last for up to two months in the fridge of six months in the freezer. We go through them too fast to test out that length of time though. 😉
Can I substitute whole wheat flour and still get good results?
I haven’t tried it that way, but I think you would be ok!
I was just about to ask the same thing! I have whole wheat flour already and really don’t want to run to the store for brown rice flour. 😂
I am trying this recipe now, only I am substituting Coconut flour, not just because I have it on hand, but because it is supposed to be very healthy for dogs, especially diabetic dogs.
