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