Notes
I used a 2" cookie cutter because my dog is small. If you use a larger cutter to make treats for a larger dog, you will need to increase baking time and the yield will be less than 85.
Make sure you buy 100% pumpkin purée and not pumpkin pie filling. Check the can carefully!
Apple sauce should be plain, no added sugar. Ingredients should be apples, water, vitamin C.
These pumpkin treats are perishable - there are no preservatives. After a few days on the counter in an airtight container, you should refrigerate them for up to a few weeks.
If the dough is too sticky to roll out, add a bit of extra flour until you can roll it out easily. If it is a humid day, you may have to add more flour.
