The Pumpkin flesh itself is a superfood for dogs. It contains essential micronutrients and fibre that make it a very nutritious treat. Besides being a natural stomach soother, pumpkin also helps to remove excess water in a dog's digestive tract.
Pet owners have relied on pumpkin for a long time to reduce instances of diarrhoea in their dogs. This means it’s good to know how to prepare and serve pumpkin to your pet.
Mineral and vitamin-packed. Pumpkin contains vitamins like A, C, and E, as well as minerals like iron and potassium. Feeding plain canned pumpkin gives a great boost to your dog’s nutrition.
Great for digestion. Due to its high soluble fibre content, pumpkin is very good for your dog’s digestion. If you feed your dog some pumpkin, it will add bulk to their stool. You can give cooked pumpkin at regular intervals say about 1-2 tablespoon weekly in a home prepared diet.

Pumpkins seeds can act as a natural deworming agent for dogs because they contain an amino acid called cucurbitacin. This amino acid can paralyse and eliminate intestinal parasites like tapeworms and roundworms. When you feed your dog pumpkin seeds, the cucurbitacin can kill any worms they may have in their digestive tract.
Always monitor your pets faeces (poo) for worm eggs at regular intervals using a worm count laboratory test, in particularly if relying on herbal wormers
