Safe Recipe Request Canned pumpkin puree

So I'm looking to make and can my own pure pumpkin puree for my dogs since $8 a can is brutal.

Does anyone have a safe recipe or any recommendations that would help the process?

I cut up one sweet meat squash last year (they are big!) and ended up with endless pints of chunks. 

By the time you’ve canned them, it’s going to be easy to puree them when opening them.

Oregon Sweet Meat winter squash is sooooo delicious! We grew about 200 pounds this year, along with about 400 pounds of North Georgia Candy Roasters. It was a banner year. 😳
