    Is Pumpkin Healthy for Your Dog?

    With so many different pumpkin dog treat recipes available, you may be wondering how healthy it is to treat your pup to this fall favourite. The good news is that it’s not only safe, but it also offers some great nutritional benefits. In fact, many veterinarians will even recommend including a small scoop of pumpkin puree as a meal topper with a dog’s regular feedings.

    Pumpkin is packed with great vitamins and minerals for your dog’s health including vitamin A (beta-carotene), vitamin C, potassium, iron, phosphorus, magnesium, and folate. It’s also high in fiber, making it a great option to boost your dog’s digestive health. If you notice that your dog is experiencing any digestive upset including both constipation and diarrhea, a little pumpkin is a well-known and trusted home remedy.

    In addition to the digestive benefits, pumpkin has also been associated with better eye health, improved skin and coat and a stronger immune system. It’s also a low-calorie treat. That combined with the high fiber content makes it a perfect choice for those pups that are currently working on shedding a few pounds. The best part? Your dog will love the taste so much that he will have NO idea that he’s enjoying a diet-friendly snack. So, get baking and embrace the fall vibes.
