After Halloween and the fall season, pumpkins are usually out of sight and out of mind.
However, there’s a reason that we love this rusty-orange squash and why pumpkin is a key ingredient in one of our favorite supplements, Perfect Form. Pumpkin is a nourishing, digestive aid; it can help firm up loose stools and relieve constipation. Use pure 1-2 teaspoons for small dogs and 1-3 tablespoons for large dogs of pure canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling) as a topper to their meal or as a treat.
Because a little bit goes a long way, you might have leftovers. We suggest mixing the pumpkin with a little water and freezing it in an ice-cube tray for a fun, stomach soothing treat. Or, you can mix it with some yogurt, peanut butter, or hydrated Honest Kitchen food for a fun Kong filling.
We use pumpkin and just put a few scoops into the dogs’ food if their stools are a little too runny. They don’t LOVE it, but they end up eating it… Wish they loved it as it is very good for them. I may think about mixing it with peanut butter as a kong treat. That is a good idea… thanks!
Oh cool pumpkins are a digestive aid. That’ll go great with aloe vera juice!
Our dogs love pumpkin, so does one of the cats!!
Yummy! My dogs will LOVE this! They love fruits and vegetables and I hadn’t thought of using pumpkin, very cool!
