Joe and I have four, yes four, dogs. They’re our kids. Perry, Bella, & Gatsby sleep in the bed with us. Or, more accurately, they allow us to squeeze in between them. Patch sleeps on his dog bed – it’s his own personal preference.
Every morning I walk them – first Patch & Bella then Gatsby & Perry. Next comes breakfast, then it’s off to my home office where they sleep as I write. When I’m cooking they lay by the fireplace or in the kitchen doorway so they can see me. And, if anyone happens to walk in front of our home all four of them let me know, howling in unison.
Yea, there’s a lot of vacuuming and lots of toys strewn around the house that I can’t seem to get them to pick up. When it rains we have 16 wet paws to wipe and, more often than I like to admit, they dart in and leave a trail of muddy prints across the floor. Baths are an ordeal – Joe and I are always just as wet as the dogs. Our vet loves us because we’re at their office once a month, if not more often. But I can’t imagine one day without waking up to them wanting to play, seeing their tails wag at meal time, or listening to them snore as I put together a blog post.
I sometimes forget that joy in life isn’t always about the next big thing, whatever that might be. Instead, my real joy comes from those quiet moments when can look around and know that everything in my life is ok just as it is. My dogs always remind me of that.
When I saw that Marilyn at simmer till done made pumpkin dog biscuits, everything else on my list got pushed down a so I could bake for my kids – and gluten-free treats at that! Her recipe uses brown rice flour, an excellent option as many dogs have food allergies and don’t tolerate wheat.
Like Marilyn’s vet, our vet recommends pumpkin for upset tummies. My Bella gets a nervous stomach once in a while. Gatsby has very dry skin and our vet recommended adding flax meal to his food so I modified her recipe to include flax. These biscuits are definitely a treat I feel good about giving my kids.
And, my kids love them. I hope your 4-legged babies love them, too.
A couple of hints:
- I buy whole flax seeds in bulk and grind it in my food processor to make flax meal. Because of it’s high fat content, flax meal can go rancid quickly. It’s much more cost effective to buy the seeds and grind it yourself. Check out my tutorial here. Refrigerate or freeze ground flax meal in an airtight container depending on when you plan on using it.
- If your waxed paper moves about the counter while you’re rolling the dough out, pull part of it over the edge of the counter and lean on the paper to hold it in place.
- I made these biscuits with both freshly cooked pumpkin and canned pumpkin puree. The fresh pumpkin didn’t have a bright orange color but both worked equally well.
And a side note – if you haven’t been to Marilyn’s blog, simmer till done, it’s a must. She is a true artist – and her blog always calms me right down. It’s as if I’m sitting in her kitchen with a warm cup of really good coffee, just watching her cook and soaking up everything she knows.

Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups brown rice flour
- 2 tablespoons flax meal
- 2 extra large eggs, lightly beaten
- 3/4 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup cold water or enough to make dough stick
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Combine brown rice flour and flax meal in a large bowl. Mix eggs and pumpkin together in a separate bowl until smooth. Add pumpkin mixture to brown rice mixture in two parts, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula. Dough will be shaggy. Add water, a teaspoon or two at a time until the dough comes together – by this time you’ll need to use your hands to pull the dough together.
- Roll dough out between two pieces of waxed or parchment paper to desired thickness. (I rolled mine 1/4 inch thick.) Remove top piece of waxed/parchment paper, flip dough onto brown rice floured counter, remove top piece, and then cut biscuits using desired cookie cutter. Re-roll and cut scraps until you’ve used every possible bit of dough.
- Place biscuits on parchment lined baking sheets. If using a dog bone shaped cutter, you cam make a pattern in the middle using the tines of a fork. Gently press down, wiggle a little, then lift out.
- Bake for 20 – 25 minutes, until the top of the biscuit has dried out completely. Remove tray from oven and flip biscuits over. Return to oven, rotating cookie sheet, and bake for another 20 – 25 minutes until biscuits are completely dry. Let biscuits cool on wire racks. Store in an airtight container.
Enjoy!

Great idea! Pet owners who have celiac disease or a high degree of gluten sensitivity may want to consider what they feed their dogs, so that, when their dogs lick them and kiss them on the face or hands, they do not have to worry about gluten entering their mouth, nose, or eyes.

@Kim, The Food Allergy Coach,
That is exactly why I was looking for a good recipe! I own a gluten and dairy free baking company and I am very allergic to gluten (my hair falls out, I itch, horrible blisters on my skin, its not fun) so I want to keep my dog on a wheat free diet and only feed him holistic food; we’ve gone with blue buffalo, have not had any problems with anything manifesting on his fur and triggering my allergy. wheat free, but not gluten free, but top of the line food; but the dog treats are a big expensive for the few you get in a bag. I decided I would whip up my own in my commercial kitchen if I could find some good recipes. this one is definitely a winner! I used my basic gf flour mix that I created for my baked goods instead of the brown rice and flax seed, came out great!.

These sound wonderful. Can I order them from you instead of baking them myself? I can’t even get our goodies baked. I have a very large collie. He’s very sweet and I feel bad he got our busy family and small house. These would be a nice treat for him. If I don’t have the rice flour what do you think would sub, unless I’m getting some from you.

A substitute – I can’t think of one. I don’t know enough about how the different gluten-free flours would impact their digestive system.

I never had a dog growing up, but my husband always did. When we decided to adopt a dog, it literally took us longer to get the dog than to get married!
They interviewed us both separately, and they wanted to make sure my husband wasn’t forcing the dog on me!
Now I can’t imagine life with Ed. He’s my walking companion and when my husband is out of town, the first one to jump into bed when I turn the lights out!

I’m so happy to finally meet your dogs. I know mine would love these treats, but since I make all their food (raw meat, oatmeal, veggies, etc.), I’m not very likely to bake for them. They do love pumpkin though. I add it to their food if I have some left over from baking. Maybe I’ll make them some for Christmas!

I’ve made liver treats for my puppy, but I’ve never baked for her. I wonder if she likes pumpkin… on second thought, I’m sure she’ll love pumpkin! The only thing she doesn’t seem to like is lemon, lime, or raw squash (which I dropped on the floor once and she uncharacteristically walked away from). Might have to try this one for the holidays!

@Kendra, Whole flax seed has a shelf life of years – you don’t even have to freeze it. Once ground it goes rancid quickly if stored at room temperature because of the high fat content.

Your dogs are beautiful! When I got my puppy 4 years ago (after 6 years of “college” without a dog) I swore I’d never live another day without a dog. I’ve done lots of dog sitting and know that the second dog is almost no extra work, the third about four times as much work but the 4th only a little bit more than three
Tumalo has a very sensitive stomach (that’s what you get when you name your virgo dog Tummy
and she gets pumpkin and/or kefir in her lamb and rice dog food sometimes. She hardly ever gets flour based treats – just meaty stuff for training – but if I did, this looks like a fantastic recipe.
Have fun with your pooches!

@Alyss, Our dogs don’t have that degree of sensitivity – once in a while Bella needs to go on the ‘bland food’ diet – chicken and rice. With 4, I couldn’t imagine feeding them all raw. It kind of makes my head spin. Meal time is a circus around here as it is.
It’s so neat to see how well you take care of our Tumalo.

You might want to try giving your dog more of a high protein and good fat diet. Wellness naturals dog food makes one called CORE Wellness and add cod liver oil to their food this should help their skin problems. A lot of regular dog food brands have a lot of junk in it like GMO wheat and grains and crappy meat your dogs could have an allergy to these things and you might not realize it.

No problem, I just got a puppy so I give her these things as well as wheat grass and such. I’m glad to hear your doggie is doing much better. I’m making your dog treats this week-end for my pup and I’m subbing sweet potato. My question is do I keep these in an air tight container in the fridge or at room temperature? I live in Florida and it’s been kind of humid for fall, I don’t want to make a whole batch and then they spoil.

I’m so glad this recipe was part of the roundup because I thought I’d commented, but hadn’t. (I’d hate to admit how often that happens. LOL) Gluten-free dog and cat treats make so much sense because these animals are hunters by nature. They are always so much healthier when gluten is eliminated from their diets. Arthritis, hot spots (and other skin-type issues), fatigue, etc. can become things of the past when pets are put on gluten-free diets.
Great entry for GAHIGF!

Believe it or not…I have a Great Pyrenees that suffers from Celiac Disease! This has been such a challenge. Thank you so much for your site.

November 14th, 2009 at 9:51 am
@Carolyn, I would love to know how it works – I think you’ll just have to play with the pumpkin to flour ratios and maybe add some filtered water because garfava flour will absorb more liquid.
I would love to know more about your dog’s diet – I am really slow to make changes in my dogs’ diets because they can’t tell you how they feel. I’m investigating other options, though. Any input or information you have would be so helpful. (I have to make a double batch of this today for my kids – we’re out!)

I’m switching my beautiful furry daughter to a gluten free diet, and I’ve decided I’m going to make all her food for the next few weeks and see how she does. Her stools are chronically loose, but she seems healthy as a horse and checks out perfect at the vet.

@Erin Elberson, Yes, I switched them over. Gatsby still has an occasional limp but all of them are at fabulous weights. That could also be that their ‘treats’ are now pieces of their food. Once in a while I bake for them but most of the time they get a kibble of food instead.
I have another dog treat recipe I should post soon. Let me know how your baby does on the new diet.
