Product Information

According to pet experts and nutritionists, the pumpkin’s ideal and safe amount for dogs is 1 tsp/10lbs of plain, canned pumpkin. Generally, for everyday use, you can give 1-2 tablespoons once or twice a day in a dog’s regular diet. For dogs diarrhea, add 1-4 teaspoons of cooked and plain pumpkin in each meal. For constipated dogs, add 2-4 teaspoons to each meal. Just be careful about the type of pumpkin seeds you give your dog. Raw seeds are typically sold in grocery shops, however, they could be placed among seeds that have salt, spices, or other artificial additives. Natural is always best, as is the case with most things. Before you reach for that can of pumpkin, you first need to figure out the cause of your dog’s diarrhea.

Plain, canned pumpkin is the healthiest choice for your dog. Both fresh and canned pumpkin are good sources of nutrients and fiber, but canned pumpkin contains a higher concentration of fiber and nutrients compared to fresh pumpkin. This is because fresh pumpkin has higher water content than canned pumpkin. However, canned pumpkin with added salt, spices, sugar, or other additives can irritate your dog’s stomach further, counteracting the beneficial effects of the pumpkin.Alternatively, you can shred the pumpkin to dry without making a puree. It will be good for adding to bread for flavor but may need quite a while in hot water to ‘cook’ before creating pumpkin pie. These are the antioxidants that can be found in pumpkin: beta-carotene , zeaxanthin, and beta-cryptoxanthin. Of course, using pumpkin powder to recreate pumpkin puree that you would typically use in any recipe is a given. But there are so many other ways to make pumpkin powder useful in the kitchen! It has been demonstrated that giving ground pumpkin seeds to dogs has certain anti-inflammatory advantages for intestinal health and anal gland disease.

This easy process takes a little time, but it’s worth it when you can grab so many orange orbs of autumnal goodness and save them for the whole year. Most of the ones listed here will be common varieties found in North America. But there are many varieties of pumpkins grown all over the world that will work, as well! NO WASTED CANNED PUMPKIN: Our Pumpkin puree is a great alternative to canned pumpkin. Our powder is shelf stable & portions can be customised exactly to your dog's size. Replacing half eaten cans! It’s also another excellent food for making your dog feel full, even with diminished meal proportions, if you are trying to help your dog lose weight.So, what’s a better way to add fiber to your dog or cat’s diet? Talk to your veterinarian. She can prescribe a therapeutic diet that contains increased amounts of specific types of fiber – soluble, insoluble, or a mixture of the 2, depending on your pet’s individual needs. Or, fiber supplements can be added to your pet’s food in the form of purified cellulose or wheat bran (for insoluble fiber), various over-the-counter human fiber supplements, such as inulin (for soluble fiber), or supplements that contain a mixture of both (such as psyllium). Again, it’s important to work with your veterinarian or a board-certified veterinary nutritionist to determine the specific type and amount of fiber to add to your pet’s food. For a small puppy, start with a ½ teaspoonful once or twice daily and gradually increased to one or two teaspoons if necessary. For adult dogs, start with 2-4 tsp once or twice daily and gradually increase the amount if needed. So those were some of the benefits of pumpkin seeds for dogs. We’ve created this article as a sort of guideline for dog owners who were unsure about feeding pumpkin seeds to their pets.
