Plus, we have fun events going on every week for you and your pet to participate in! From trick-or-treating for free samples to digital costume parade, we’ve got options for everyone. Read on to make sure you don’t miss out on the fun.

It’s the GREAT Pumpkin!

• Did you know that pumpkin is a great, natural digestive aid for pets? This is because pumpkin is a high-fiber food that is also rich in important vitamins and minerals, such as vitamins A, E, and C, and iron and potassium. This makes it a great digestive aid that’s also all-natural.

Treats Unleashed’s Pumpkin Muffins (in-store only) and Pumpkin Soft Bites are made with real pumpkin, and are made from-scratch in small batches and by hand. When you find something on our treat table, you can rest assured that these treats were made from whole, human grade ingredients that allow the goodness of the whole pumpkin to actually be tasted and enjoyed by your pet.

Looking for a sweeter treat? Our Personalized Jumbo Pumpkin Treats are hand-baked from our tried-and-true treat recipe and are decorated with your pet’s name for the perfect personal touch. These treats are available in full-dip and light-icing options. Sold as singles or in three-packs; individual customization available.

TU TIP: If you’re going to make your own pumpkin pet treats at home, be sure to purchase plain canned pumpkin. Avoid anything marketed as ‘pumpkin pie filling’, which is loaded with sugar, spices and other added ingredients that can be unsafe for furry friends to ingest. If you're unsure of what ingridients are safe for your pet, rely on teams like Treats Unleashed's bakers to handle all the food preparation and baking, so you can be sure your pets injest treats you know are safe for them.
