The answer is patience. In the dehydrator, it takes up to seven hours for the pumpkin leather for dogs to dry out.

Dog Treats Quality Ingredients

Dog Pumpkin Leather can be made at home, which is an advantage over what we grew up eating. Using a dehydrator makes homemade dog treats easy, simply and an improvement over having to use a hot oven.

Let's start by naming all the ingredients in this pumpkin treat. There are no dyes or mystery ingredients.

Molasses and pumpkin puree are the key ingredients. Add liver sprinkles to your dog's food to amp up its flavor.

Let's take a closer look at these ingredients. We recommend using top-quality pumpkin puree, molasses, and liver sprinkles.

Look at the ingredients for the pumpkin puree and the molasses: pumpkin and molasses. That's it. It is important to me that I am using high-quality products for my dogs.

How to Make Dehydrator Pumpkin Leather for Dog Treats

Here are the steps for making pumpkin leather for dogs. It's so easy to make pumpkin leather that a recipe isn't necessary.

You simply combine the ingredients in a bowl or food processor, spread them out on a dehydrator pan, and let them slowly dry in a dehydrator.

You should spread mixture over the tray of the dehydrator. Make sure it's evenly distributed.

You don't want one area to be thicker than the other, as it will take longer to dry. The thickness should be between ⅛ and ¼ inch.

You don’t want to see any gaps in the mixture. You also don’t want lumps.

The Magic in Making Pumpkin Leather for Dog Treats

Just like our Homemade Tuna Puffs or our popular Woofies Dog Treats, he key to success is patience!

Waiting for the fruit leather to slowly dehydrate is the key to making fruit leather. You just have to be patient.

Expert Tips for Rolling Up the Pumpkin Fruit Leather

• When done, flip the baked pumpkin leather for dogs onto a fresh sheet of parchment paper.

• You can make dog leather shapes with cookie cutters during the autumn season. I think pumpkins, dog bones, bats, and witches would all be cute ideas!

• Make 3-inch strips of pumpkin fruit leather using a pizza cutter. You can keep them flat or roll them up like a fruit roll-up.

• Roll them tightly. They will keep their shape.

• Store them in an airtight container.
