About PUMPKIN
Pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo) is a squash commonly used as a dietary supplement for pets, particularly cats and dogs. It is found in both raw and canned forms, with the latter often being more convenient and widely used. Pumpkin is considered safe for cats and dogs when given in appropriate amounts. It is rich in fiber and nutrients, which can aid in digestion, help manage weight, and improve stool quality in pets. However, feeding excessive amounts can lead to gastrointestinal upset. Always ensure that the canned pumpkin used is pure pumpkin without added sugars, spices, or other ingredients that could be harmful to pets.
