Fall is almost here.....Pumpkins will be everywhere!
Did you know that pumpkin
is good for dogs?
This Barking Wednesday I wanted share
four reasons pumpkin is
good for your dog.
#2 ~ Pumpkin seeds & meat have lots of essential fatty acids and antioxidants in them. The oils in pumpkins are great for their fur and skin.
#3 ~ Pumpkin is a great source of FIBER. Two times a week I add about two teaspoons of pumpkin puree to Diesel's to help keep him regular. Diesel weighs 18 pounds. When Kingers was alive he weighed 100 pounds - I would add two tablespoons to his food.
#4 ~ Pumpkin meat is also good for your dogs urinary health.
WHY is PUMPKIN so GOOD for your DOG?
Pumpkin contains vitamins and nutrients needed for dogs to live a healthy life. Pumpkins are backed with protein, amino acids, copper, iron, phosphorus, zinc, magnesium, potassium, niacin and folic acid. All nutrients needed for a healthy happy dog.
I had no idea! I am going to make sure Milo gets some pumpkin this year.
ReplyDeleteWell whoda thunk you could get a dog to even eat pumpkin!
ReplyDeleteI will pass this info on to my friend.
We eat pumpkin a lot... so yummy!
I have heard that pumpkin is a really good food to feed your dog! We are actually growing quite a few in our garden, so I'm sure our pooch will get some soon!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that pumpkin had so many uses! I love using it in tons of recipes!
ReplyDeleteI remember being surprised when our vet told us that pumpkin would be good for our dog. I had no idea!
ReplyDeletewe give our pup pumpkin and rice when she has a belly ache.
ReplyDeleteWhen we got our rescue puppy from Alabama, she had been on the transport for over 24 hours and got a very upset stomach right when we got her. Pumpkin really seemed to help her! We always keep it around because of that.
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe its "Pumpkin Season" again! October is just weeks away and things are already in full swing
ReplyDeleteWow. I did not know this. I will keep this in mind.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea! This is a cool little tip for dog owners. Another reason to pick up a pumpkin this fall.
ReplyDeleteGreat info! The veterinarian actually recommended pumpkin puree for my mom's dog who has some health issues and she said it actually has helped! I honestly had no idea that pumpkin was even ok for dogs to ingest.
ReplyDeleteLove this and had no idea! I can't wait to try it with mine!
ReplyDeleteI know my daughter's dog loves carrots and sweet potatoes too. My turtles love pumpkin and it's so good for them too.
ReplyDeletePumpkin is great for dogs, just make sure its 100% pure pumpkin without any added sugar or spices (ie: not pumpkin pie filling).
ReplyDeleteThis post was quite interesting. In all my life I have never heard about a dog eating pumpkin. You really can learn something new every day if you try.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea about this, and i never know that pumpkins are many uses, i tried this for my dog and i pass this to my Dog owner friends
ReplyDeleteI did not know the natural uses for pumpkin. I think this is interesting though!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea! Nice to know our pup can enjoy some of the flavors of the fall season with us now.
ReplyDeleteThis is all news to me. I had no idea but now see that so many people do it. Very interesting.
ReplyDeleteI saw this on your FB page and was shocked. I had never given my dog pumpkin because I wasn't sure if it was OK. I can't wait to start adding it to my dog's diet this fall!
ReplyDeleteI have always heard that pumpkin was good for dogs. I will have to give it to mine!
ReplyDeleteOh wow I had absolutely no idea! I'll have to pass this on to my dog-owning friends and family!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea pumpkin was good for dogs. I will share this with family and friends
ReplyDeletewe make sure to give him canned pumpkin. We know lots of dogs that got upset tummies over the raw versions.
ReplyDeleteBig tip. Make sure you get canned pumpkin and not pumpkin filling. Trust me. That's a disaster.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea that dogs could have pumpkin. That's pretty great. They can have "table" food that's good for them.

ReplyDeleteI heard this too! We actually used to feed her pumpkin anytime she would get an upset stomach, it helped cure it.

ReplyDeleteI think it's great that pumpkin is good for dogs. I didn't know that, and will certainly pass the info on to others.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea about all of this. We spend so much time trying to keep all people food away!
ReplyDeleteWow I had no idea I wouldn't ever think to feed my pups pumpkin. I will have to see how they like it. I've never even tried it so it wouldn't ever occur to me! - Jeanine
ReplyDeleteMy Sister makes her dogs treats with pumpkin in them. The dogs love them and it is so good for them.
