Pumpkin is a Miracle Food For Cats and Dogs





Pumpkin a Miracle Food

If your cat or dog has any type of digestive problems or has an occasional loose stool or constipation, a small amount of pure canned pumpkin (not raw or the sugary, spicy pie filling) mixed into the food can really help. Pumpkin is high in fiber and helps regulate the natural wave action of the intestinal tract. It is also a good source of natural Vitamin A and antioxidants.  Too much pumpkin can have a laxative effect,  but a couple of teaspoons a day for little pups, or a couple of tablespoons for big boys, should keep them right on track.


Two Reasons to Add Pumpkin to Your Pet's Diet

  1.  Digestive Health: It can  help dogs and cats with indigestion or upset stomachs and can aid dogs and cats with both constipation and diarrhea as it helps to promote the natural wave action of the intestines.
  2. Weight Loss:  Due to the high fiber content, their tummy will feel full longer, and they might even thank you for the additional flavor.

Can Pumpkin Help A Dog or Cat with Diarrhea?


If your cat or dog gets occassional loose stool or has any type of digestive problems, a small amount of canned pumpkin mixed into the food can really help. Pumpkin is high in fiber and helps regulate the natural wave action of the intestinal tract. It is also a good source of natural Vitamin A and antioxidants. Some pet owners have become frustrated because their pets wouldn't eat it, but this is often because the pumpkin was given by itself. For finicky pets, start with a dash mixed well into the food and increase slowly. Too much pumpkin can have a laxative effect so limit to 1/4 to 1 teaspoon per meal depending upon the size of your pet.  For more diet tips for pets, visit AskAriel.com
