The leaves are about to change. Pumpkin spice is popping up everywhere. And before long, you'll be sipping your favorite fall drink.
So...can your dog join in on the pumpkin fun?
The answer is yes! Plain pumpkin can be a healthy addition to many dogs' diets, and it's one of the most popular seasonal ingredients you'll find in pet foods, treats, toppers, and supplements.
Here's why pumpkin has earned its place in the pet world.
Yes! Plain pumpkin is safe for most dogs and cats when fed in appropriate amounts. It's naturally rich in fiber and nutrients that support healthy digestion, making it a favorite ingredient in everything from treats to supplements and food toppers.
Just be sure you're choosing pet-safe pumpkin products or plain pumpkin, not sugary pumpkin pie filling.
Pumpkin is packed with nutrients while being naturally low in fat and calories.
Some of the benefits include:
Because it's gentle on the digestive system, pumpkin is often one of the first ingredients pet parents reach for when their dog experiences occasional digestive upset.
Many people think pumpkin is only useful when a dog has loose stools.
While pumpkin is well known for digestive support, it also makes a nutritious everyday topper for many pets. Whether you're adding a spoonful to dinner or serving it as part of an enrichment activity, pumpkin is an easy way to add a little variety to mealtime.
Pumpkin comes in far more than just a can. Here are some of our favorite ways to serve it.
