A lot of dogs suffer from constipation or diarrhea. But pumpkin can cure both of these.


Diarrhea is often a sign that something wrong with you dogs digestive system. It can be caused by a number of factors, from your dog eating something it should not, or just switching the type of food your dog eats. Because Pumpkin is high in fiber but by adding a couple of tbsp. to your dog’s food can solve issues with Diarrhea and help the digestion process along with absorbing extra water present in the stool. It will make your dog’s stool more firm and results can be seen within just a few hours.


For your dog’s constipation Pumpkin can help by softening the stool making it easier for your pet to go. Pumpkin can cue most of your dos tummy problems in just a few hours.


If you trade out 1/3 of your dog’s food with pumpkin it can also help your dog lose weight, along with promoting a shiny, healthy coat. It will make your dog fulfilled and eat less and keep them happy all day.


According to Veterinarians Laci and Jed Schaible, co-founders of VetLive.com, the oils in pumpkins are believed to support urinary health. They are also an excellent source of Vitamin A, beta-carotene, potassium and iron, and may even reduce the likelihood your pet will develop cancer.


Also pumpkin will help your cat with hair balls along with other benefits for cats.
