Preheat the oven to 350°F, and coat a baking sheet with cooking spray; set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, wheat germ, flax seed, and set aside. Get another mixing bowl, and combine honey, eggs, oil, water, applesauce and pumpkin puree. Mix well together until combined. Next, pour into dry ingredients and mix well.

Next form into a disc. On a well-floured surface, roll out until the dough is about ¼″ thick. Using a cookie cutter, cut out dog bone shapes and place on the prepared baking sheet ensuring they are 1-inch apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until treats are very brown and very hard.
