A Dog-Friendly "Pumpkin Spice Latte" Recipe

Fall is finally here and we can’t imagine what it would be without the beloved Pumpkin Spice Latte. While you could get your dog a ‘pup cup’ as you’re heading through the drive-through to get your own pumpkin spice latte (and you should), we’d be remiss if we felt like your dog wasn’t missing out on an important part of the fall season.

So keep reading on how you can make your dog a “pumpkin spice latte” – it’s easy, requires only a small amount of ingredients and is very rewarding for you – and obviously your dog, too! 

Ingredients: 

Oat milk or goat milk (be sure to avoid any nut milks like almond milk) 

Plain pumpkin puree: Always double-check that the can isn’t pumpkin pie filling. The only ingredient listed should be pumpkin – without any spices, added sugar or other flavors. 

Whipped cream (pet-friendly and optional)

Pinch of turmeric spice (pet-friendly and optional)

Your dog’s favorite treat (optional)

Directions:

See the video on how to make it here.

1. Start by mixing a 1:1 ratio of oat or goat milk with plain pumpkin puree. We did four tablespoons of each, but you can scale up or down depending on your pup’s size. A milk frother works great for this, if you have one.

2. Once the milk and pumpkin puree are combined well, top with whipped cream, a light sprinkle of turmeric spice for color and a small dog treat for garnish, as desired.

3. Serve to your (probably impatiently waiting) dog – always with supervison! 

We hope your dog loves this autumn flavor – and that you enjoy yours, too! You both deserve it.
