Pumpkin Gummies

These soft pumpkin gummy bites are a fun, easy way to treat your dog with something homemade and wholesome. Naturally low in fat and rich in fibre and beta-carotene, pumpkin supports digestive health and stool quality — while agar agar (a natural, plant-based setting agent) gives these gummies their soft, chewy texture.

They make ideal bite-sized training rewards or fridge-friendly enrichment toppers for lick mats, snuffle trays, and slow feeders. You can even get creative by swirling in a little carrot purée, cottage cheese, or plain yogurt for added flavour and visual appeal.

Ingredients

• ½ cup (120g) plain pumpkin purée (100%, no additives)
• 1 cup (240ml) low-sodium chicken or bone broth (homemade or safe commercial)
• 1 tsp agar agar powder
• (Optional) Small swirl of pureed carrot, cottage cheese, or plain yogurt

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, combine the broth and pumpkin purée. Whisk gently to mix.
2. Sprinkle in the agar agar powder while whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
3. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly until the agar agar is completely dissolved.
4. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly — it should still be liquid but not hot.
5. Pour the mixture into silicone moulds (small bone shapes, cubes, or paw prints work perfectly).
6. Place in the refrigerator for 1–2 hours until fully set. The gummies should be firm but soft and springy.
7. Pop the gummies out and store as directed below.
