Cooler temperatures, piles of leaves to run through, pumpkin patches to explore – your furry companion is just as excited as you are for the season, and now there’s one more thing the two of you can enjoy together. Though your dog might not be able to drink your fall-inspired coffee, they can still enjoy a pup-kin (oops, we mean pumpkin!) spice treat. Since nutmeg is toxic to dogs, these chewy superfood cookies are made with real pumpkin and an easy, dog-approved blend of spices. Next time you grab your latte, remember to toss a treat to your best friend too.
