The holiday season is synonymous with pumpkin pie. Pumpkin is an excellent treat for our dogs but pumpkin pie for humans contains too much sugar and spice to be nice to dogs–so we’ve got a recipe here for pumpkin pie just for dogs!
This special dog-friendly recipe was created by Loews Hotels, was provided as part of their “Houndly Holidays” package. The recipe is courtesy Loews Hotels Executive Chef Mark Ehrler.
