Pet-Friendly Ingredients
-
1 cup pumpkin puree
-
¼-⅓ cup natural peanut butter
-
¼ cup milk or water
-
3 cups pre-cooked oatmeal or rolled oats (consuming uncooked oats can hurt the tummy of your pet or kid—make sure what you purchase is pre-cooked or you can cook it yourself with water and allow to dry)

Keep your kid and pet ingredients separate. In two separate bowls, mix each set of ingredients, reserving a small portion of the oats for the end. Refrigerate for 15 minutes. Roll into ¼-inch balls. Once done, roll balls into reserved oats to lightly coat.. Place in a closed container and refrigerate for up to two weeks.
