Making pumpkin puree for dogs could not be easier. Full of nutrients and great in baked dog treats or homemade dog food.

Pumpkin is high in fiber, rich in Vitamins A, E and C, and also has potassium and iron.

Can Dogs Eat Pumpkin?

Due to it's high fiber content, pumpkin is great for dogs with constipation or diarrhea. Low in calories and high in fiber, it's also a good ingredient for dogs who are watching their weight.

Although you can purchase pumpkin puree in a can, you must ensure that it's not the pumpkin pie filling as that contains ingredients that may be toxic for dogs. Making your own puree is a great option if you can't find the canned stuff too!

Always start with small quantities of pumpkin so not to add too much fiber to your dog's diet.
