Does your Fur Baby have Diarrhea? Constipated? Or Upset Stomach? Grab a can of PURE (No spices added) canned pumpkin! I have been doing this for years!
Pumpkins are VERY rich in fiber, along with MANY other benefits. Canned pumpkin is rich in dietary fiber and will absorb any excess water in your dogs intestines within hours! So how does it work for constipation also? It softens your dogs stool, eases his stomach pains, and helps him go. (Think of how fiber works for us)
Dosage: Small dogs get one and a half to two teaspoons of canned pumpkin. Larger dogs give two tablespoons. Most dogs will eat it right out of a bowl and think it is a treat.
Pumpkin is also a good source of Vitamin E, Magnesium, Phosphorus and Potassium.
Disclaimer: As always, Make sure you discuss this with your vet and get their approval. Animals can dehydrate VERY QUICKLY, always seek medical attention for your pet.
