Pumpkin

Pumpkin is a nutritious vegetable that contains low calories but is rich in vitamins and minerals. According to experts, pumpkin is a great source of beta carotene, a powerful antioxidant converted by the human and animal body into vitamin A. So, pumpkin can help reduce the risk of certain types of cancer, offer protection against asthma and heart disease and improve digestion. Moreover, many studies have shown that this vegetable decreases the risk of obesity and overall mortality. 

“It’s great for digestion,” Morgan says. “The soluble and insoluble fibers feed the gut good bacteria.”

How to introduce pumpkin in your dog’s diet? Well, all you have to do is to mix it with your dog’s normal food. But always consult your vet opinion, if you are considering introducing anything new into your pup’s diet. 

Don’t give your dog a large amount of pumpkin, as it could become toxic. The explanation is that too much vitamin A is highly toxic to dogs, so pay attention to the right quantity.
