Why?
Plain pumpkin (not pie filling) is one of the most recommended foods by vets for dogs with digestive issues. It contains soluble fiber that helps with both diarrhea and constipation. It is also high in vitamins A, C, and E.
How much can dogs have?
1–4 tablespoons mixed into food depending on dog size. Use plain canned pumpkin or freshly cooked.
What to watch out for
ONLY plain pumpkin — NOT pumpkin pie filling which contains xylitol, nutmeg, and spices that are toxic to dogs. Check the label.
