Pumpkin: canine constipation or diarrhea

Canned pureed pumpkin can be used to soften stool which makes it a good natural remedy for constipation. It often helps with upset stomach or indigestion for both cats and dogs. It is very rich in fibre and adding just one or two teaspoonfuls often gets the system moving in no time. Some even freeze the puree in cube trays for future occasions and frequent treats. 


Since the dietary fibre in canned pumpkin absorbs water, it can be a great help to a cat or dog that has diarrhea. Some pet owners report that it firms up their pet’s loose stools or diarrhea within a few hours. Again one to two teaspoonfuls is all that is needed.
