- Gradually add the oatmeal to the wet mixture. Stir until the oatmeal is evenly distributed throughout the sweet potato and pumpkin base.1/2 cup Oatmeal
- Add the unsweetened applesauce and the melted coconut oil. Mix everything thoroughly until a cohesive dough-like consistency is achieved. The mixture should be moist but not overly sticky.1/4 cup Unsweetened Applesauce, 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil
- Stir in the ground cinnamon. This adds a gentle, warming flavor that most dogs find appealing.1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- Take small portions of the mixture (about 1-2 tablespoons, depending on your dog's size) and roll them into compact balls between your palms. Aim for a texture that holds its shape.
- Place the formed sweet potato pumpkin balls for dogs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up. This step is important for maintaining their shape.
