Fruitables Pumpkin Dog Treats Review

Intro

I'm The Pet Dude — a pet parent and gear nerd who obsessively compares snacks, collars, beds and tanks so you don't have to. Today I'm digging into Fruitables Pumpkin Dog Treats, the five-pouch variety pack that markets itself as a low-calorie, fruit-and-vegetable-forward training biscuit. If you want a quick sense: this product is a CalorieSmart oven-baked biscuit line with pumpkin in the recipes, sold as five 7-ounce pouches (35 ounces total) and intended as supplemental training treats for dogs of all life stages. Below I walk through what the product actually is, how dogs reacted in real owner feedback, safety notes you should check, and who I think should buy or skip this pack.

What it is / first look

At first glance Fruitables Pumpkin Dog Treats is straightforward: a variety pack of five 7-ounce pouches (35 ounces total) that pairs pumpkin with other fruits or vegetables. The variety pack includes:

• Pumpkin & Apple (7 oz pouch)
• Pumpkin & Banana (7 oz pouch)
• Pumpkin & Blueberry (7 oz pouch)
• Pumpkin & Cranberry (7 oz pouch)
• Sweet Potato & Pecan (7 oz pouch)

The listing describes these as oven-baked, bite-sized crunchy biscuits. Fruitables positions them as “CalorieSmart” treats — the listing specifically says each treat is under 9 calories and that a recyclable 7 oz pouch contains about 90 treats. The brand calls out that the treats are free of corn, wheat, soy and artificial colors, ingredients or preservatives, and that production occurs in the USA using global ingredients.

Packaging and what’s in the box

This variety bundle ships as five sealed 7-ounce pouches. The listing lists the bundle as a unit count of 35 ounces with five included components labeled as Fruitables Pumpkin Dog Treats. The product form is “biscuit,” and the company recommends these for training and supplemental feeding.

Colors and labeling

The listing images don’t include explicit color names. Based on the product theme, available colors may include pumpkin-orange and neutral brown packaging, but the listing doesn't specify colorway names. I list those conservatively below as possible packaging colors:

• pumpkin-orange (packaging, inferred)
• neutral-brown (packaging, inferred)

In daily use

I like starting with how these treats fit into real routines. Fruitables frames these as training treats and small everyday rewards, and both the spec sheet and owner feedback support that profile: under 9 calories per treat and small, oven-baked biscuits that are intended to be fed up to a guideline the listing provides (feed up to 4 treats per day for every 10 pounds your dog weighs).

Palatability and smell

Owners in our internal research notes report a strong fruit-and-vegetable aroma that’s very different from the artificial bacon/cheese smell you see on mass-market snacks. Several owners described dogs that immediately loved the smell and others who were pickier. In short: some dogs are clearly fans — tail wags and eager sits — while a small number of dogs took a tentative or picky approach, taking the treat then dropping it. That split shows up in real feedback: a lot of dogs absolutely go crazy for these, some will eat them but aren’t wild about them, and a few turn their noses up initially. If you’ve got a picky eater, it’s worth testing one pouch first before committing to the full five-pack.

Training, portioning, and texture

The treats are described as bite-sized crunchy biscuits. Owners frequently used them for training and for low-calorie rewards — that’s the explicit use the listing recommends. Because the listing states each treat is under 9 calories and provides a guideline for daily portions, these are naturally positioned for frequent short-session training or as bedtime “cookies” for pets on weight-management plans. Several owners noted the crunch is audible and satisfying, and that the biscuits are still edible even for dogs with missing teeth or reduced dentition.

How they hold up in a household

Practical notes from owner feedback: packages typically arrive sealed, but some shipments arrived with a number of crushed treats. If you prefer perfectly intact biscuits for presentation or portioning, expect occasional breakage in transit. The listing itself does not guarantee how many intact treats you’ll find per pouch, but it does note the recyclable 7 oz pouch contains about 90 treats — “about” being the operative word that accounts for some variation in size and breakage.

Materials & build quality

With treats, “materials” translates to ingredient profile and manufacturing claims. Here’s what the listing states and what that means in practical terms.

Ingredient profile and sourcing

The listing calls the treats “all-natural” and explicitly states they are free of corn, wheat, soy and artificial colors, ingredients or preservatives. It also highlights pumpkin as a primary ingredient in multiple flavors and lists pumpkin as rich in antioxidants and an excellent source of dietary fiber. The product description says Fruitables utilizes fruits and vegetables to balance palatability, calorie control, and satiety. Finally, the listing says these are produced in the USA with the brand’s stated “highest quality global ingredients.”

The listing identifies a “CalorieSmart” patent-pending recipe and advertises the treats as rich in antioxidants & vitamins, high in fiber, and less than 9 calories each.

Form and portioning details

Each 7 oz pouch contains roughly 90 treats, per the listing. That math aligns with tiny, training-sized biscuits rather than chunky jerky or large soft chews. The container type is a bag intended to be recyclable, according to the listing copy.

Safety considerations

Pet safety is my top concern, so I call out everything I can verify from the listing and owner feedback.

Allergens and ingredient sensitivities

The listing explicitly states the treats are free of corn, wheat, soy and artificial colors, ingredients or preservatives. It also labels “Special Ingredients: Wheat Free.” Owners in our internal research notes used this product successfully for dogs with restricted animal-protein diets and for dogs with sensitive stomachs. One owner specifically reported success with senior pugs, including a dog with chronic pancreatitis, saying the treats were easy on digestion. That said, the listing also includes a broad breed recommendation and “Age Range Description: All Life Stages,” so always cross-check your dog’s specific dietary needs with the ingredient panel on the pouch before feeding.

Calories and portion guidance

The listing calls the treats “CalorieSmart” and states they are below 9 calories each. It also gives a feeding guideline: intended for supplemental feeding only, and you should feed up to 4 treats per day for every 10 pounds your dog weighs. If your dog is on a professionalerinary-managed weight plan or a special diet, the listing labels the product under “Animal Food Diet Type: special diet,” but you should still confirm with a qualified professional how these treats fit into any medical feeding plan.

Choking, texture, and dental considerations

The treats are biscuits described as crunchy but small and, according to owner feedback, still edible for dogs with missing teeth. The listing does not give exact dimensions per treat, so I recommend supervising your dog the first time you feed a new treat size, especially for puppies, toy breeds, or aggressive chewers. The listing's age-range states “All Life Stages,” but it does not supply specific size dimensions or a choking-risk classification; that absence is worth noting if you have an extra-small puppy or an elderly dog prone to gulping whole treats.

Packaging and breakage risks

One practical safety/quality note: several owners reported crushed treats on arrival. Broken biscuits can still be fed, but if you rely on intact bite-sized pieces for precise training rewards or for hiding whole in enrichment toys, be prepared that some pieces might be fractured when the pouch arrives. The listing doesn't promise pristine, intact pieces, only an approximate count per pouch.

Who this is for / who should skip

Fruitables Pumpkin Dog Treats targets a broad audience, but there are clear winners and less-ideal matches.

Best fits

• Owners looking for low-calorie training treats: The listing's under-9-calories-per-treat claim and the CalorieSmart positioning make these a natural choice for frequent short-session training or for pet parents watching daily calorie intake.
• Dogs with sensitive stomachs or reduced animal protein needs: Owner feedback includes multiple reports of these working well for dogs with sensitive digestion and medically restricted animal-protein diets. The listing also highlights the absence of corn, wheat, soy and artificial preservatives, which can be helpful for sensitive pups.
• Pet parents who want fruit-and-vegetable ingredients: Pumpkin and other produce-forward flavors are front-and-center in the listing and in owner impressions; if you prefer that ingredient philosophy, this fits.
• All life stages: The listing explicitly calls out “Age Range Description: All Life Stages,” so the brand is positioning these for puppies through seniors.

Who should skip or be cautious

• Picky eaters: While many dogs love these, some are indifferent or picky. If your dog is notoriously choosy, buy a single pouch first before the full variety bundle.
• Owners who need perfectly intact biscuits: Several owners reported crushed treats on arrival. If presentation matters (for example, whole treats for photo ops or precision training), that’s a minor red flag.
• Homes with dogs that gulp or have severe chewing issues: The listing does not specify treat dimensions; supervise first feeds for toy breeds, puppies, or dogs that swallow treats whole.

Verdict

Fruitables Pumpkin Dog Treats hit a sweet spot for pet parents who want a fruit-and-vegetable-forward, low-calorie training biscuit produced in the USA and offered in a convenient five-pouch variety. The listing supports the health-forward marketing with specific claims: under 9 calories per treat, roughly 90 treats per 7 oz pouch, no corn/wheat/soy/artificial colors/ingredients/preservatives, and a CalorieSmart recipe emphasizing fiber and antioxidants. Owner feedback in our internal notes backs up those claims: plenty of dogs love the smell and flavor, older and sensitive dogs tolerate them well, and they’re helpful for weight management and training.

On the downside, a small number of dogs are picky about the flavor, and there is occasional breakage reported in transit. The listing leaves out exact treat dimensions, so you’ll want to supervise first feedings if your dog is tiny, a puppy, or a chronic gulp-er. Also, while the listing calls the product an animal food diet type of “special diet,” a qualified professional should always sign off on treats for dogs with medical conditions.

Check before you buy

• Confirm your dog’s dietary needs against the pouch ingredient panel; the listing emphasizes free of corn, wheat, soy and artificial additives, but check for any specific allergens not listed.
• If your dog is picky, buy one 7 oz pouch first rather than the full five-pouch bundle.
• Plan for occasional crushed pieces in transit — if intact treats are essential, expect some breakage when ordering larger bundles.
• Supervise the first feeding with puppies, toy breeds, or dogs that gulp — the listing does not provide exact treat dimensions.
• Follow the listing's feeding guideline: intended for supplemental feeding only and feed up to 4 treats per day for every 10 pounds your dog weighs.

Bottom line: If you want a low-calorie, pumpkin-forward training biscuit made without corn, wheat, soy or artificial additives, Fruitables’ five-flavor variety pack is a solid, pantry-friendly option — especially for adult and senior dogs or dogs on calorie-restricted plans. Just test a pouch if your dog is picky and keep an eye on packaging condition at delivery.
