Halloween isn’t just for the two-legged trick-or-treaters! This spooky season, let your furry best friend join in on the fun with a healthy homemade treat that’s packed with real nutrition, not scary additives.
These Pumpkin Collagen Bites are a tail-wagging twist on the classic Halloween-y flavour featuring gut-loving pumpkin, protein-rich oats, and a scoop of Collagenie’s Certified Organic Pet Collagen for that little extra goodness!
(Bonus: we’ve even included a cat-friendly variation for the braver felines out there!)
Your pets will seriously LOVE these!
Pumpkin power – Rich in fibre and beta-carotene, pumpkin supports healthy digestion and a shiny coat.
Collagen boost – Helps maintain strong joints, supple skin, and glossy fur for pets of all ages.
Natural sweetness – A touch of honey or mashed banana adds a little extra flavour without refined sugar.
Oat flour – Gentle on tummies and a great gluten-free binder for homemade treats.
Halloween Pumpkin Collagen Bites For Dogs Recipe
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 25 minutes
Makes: ~20 bite-sized treats
Ingredients:
- 1 cup pumpkin purée (plain, unsweetened)
- 1 ½ cups oat flour (or blended rolled oats)
- 1 egg (or flax egg for egg-sensitive pups)
- 1 tbsp Collagenie Certified Organic Pet Collagen
- 1 tbsp honey or mashed banana (optional)
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 170°C (fan-forced). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix pumpkin, egg, and honey until smooth.
- Add Collagenie Collagen and oat flour, stirring until a dough forms.
- Roll into small balls or spooky shapes (think pumpkins, bones, or bats if you’ve got cookie cutters!).
- Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden and firm.
- Let cool completely then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
Feline-Friendly version:
Cats can be total trick-or-treat skeptics, but if you’d like to tempt your little ghoul, try this variation:
- Swap pumpkin for tuna or salmon purée (still fibre-rich, but more enticing to feline taste buds).
- Omit honey, cats prefer savoury!
- Mix in 1 tsp Collagenie Collagen, shape into tiny balls, and bake for ~10–12 minutes until firm.
They may pretend not to care… but you’ll know they’re loving it.
Collagenie Tip:
Adding collagen to your pet’s treats isn’t just a festive extra, it’s a year-round act of love. Our certified organic, human-grade collagen supports healthy joints, strong nails, and silky coats for dogs and cats alike.
Because even the furriest little monsters deserve to look and feel their best.
Storage & Serving:
- Store in the fridge for up to 7 days

- Serve as an occasional treat — because even the best goblins need balance
