Here are 5 benefits for feeding your dogs pumpkin.
Key Guidelines for Feeding Pumpkin
• Plain and Unsweetened: Use 100% pure canned pumpkin or plain cooked pumpkin, never pumpkin pie filling or mixes containing added sugars, spices, or toxic ingredients like nutmeg.
• Remove Choking Hazards: Always strip away the tough skin, stems, and raw seeds to prevent blockages or choking.
• Introduce Slowly: Start with a small amount (like a teaspoon to a tablespoon depending on your dog's size) to see how your dog's stomach reacts.
• Feed in Moderation: Too much pumpkin can cause digestive upset or diarrhea because of its high fiber content.
