The Pumpkin Powerhouse

Pumpkin is such a powerhouse of a food because it has so many benefits for dogs and cats. This high fiber food helps promote digestive health, helping ease either constipation or diarrhea. Adding a bit of pumpkin can also help when a dog is transitioning from one food to another.

Packed with vitamins A and C, pumpkin helps support vision and immunity. Plus, pumpkin is a low-calorie food, so it's sometimes recommended as part of a weight management program and used in weight management foods.

Because of all of pumpkin’s benefits, many commercial dog foods, especially those considered "holistic", are now incorporating this ingredient into their recipes.
