Pumpkin - Not Just for Latte's
These ubiquitous veggies are great for things other than our lattes, carving, and inspiring Charlie Brown. They are also an excellent food item for your companion with a variety of health benefits* that are also affordable.
Urinary Health
Pumpkin seeds have been used for years to treat urinary incontinence in humans by maintaining the strength of the pelvic floor, and it is thought that the oils found in pumpkin seeds have a similar effect in animals. Further, the pumpkin seeds encourage healthy bladder function by supporting the muscles and lessening the occurrence of inconvenient leaks.
Digestive Health
Canned natural pumpkin is a great source of fiber and helps with digestive regularity. If your dog is experiencing constipation or diarrhea, mix a tablespoon of pumpkin straight from the can into their normal food. Not only will they love the taste, but it may also ease stomach issues.
Weight Management
Ask your veterinarian if replacing a portion of your dog's regular diet with canned pumpkin, which is low in calories, will help your pup trim the waistline. It helps them feel fuller, without increasing calorie count.
Hydration
If your companion is not drinking enough water, canned pumpkin is a great addition to their diet as it is nearly 90% water.
Adding Nutrients
Pumpkins have an array of essential vitamins and nutrients, such as Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and Zinc. Vitamin A is thought to assist with better vision, and Vitamin C can help improve the immune system. Zinc is known to improve skin health and lead to a shinier coat
