Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 cups beef broth low sodium
  • 2 tablespoons agar-agar powder
  • 1/4 cup pureed pumpkin plain
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Method
 

  1. Pour the beef broth into a medium saucepan and bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat.
  2. Slowly sprinkle in the agar-agar powder while whisking constantly until completely dissolved and smooth.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and add the pureed pumpkin, stirring until fully blended and evenly colored.
  4. Stir in the shredded carrots and salt, mixing until the carrots are evenly distributed.
  5. Simmer the mixture gently for 20 minutes, stirring every few minutes to prevent sticking.
  6. Remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool for 5 to 10 minutes until warm but not hot.
  7. Place silicone bone molds on a tray, then carefully pour or ladle the mixture into each mold cavity.
  8. Tap the tray gently on the counter to release any air bubbles from the filled molds.
  9. Transfer the tray with molds to the refrigerator and chill for about 1 hour, or until the treats are set and firm.
  10. Pop the bone treats out of the molds and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator until serving.

Notes

- Use plain pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, to avoid added sugar and spices.
- Choose low-sodium or no-salt-added beef broth to keep these treats safer for your dog.
- Introduce new treats slowly and watch for any signs of digestive upset, especially with pumpkin and carrots.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze in a single layer, then transfer to a container for longer storage.
