Did you know PUMPKIN is a fruit?
Many people think of pumpkin as vegetable but it’s a fruit, from vine plants known as Cucurbita.
My mom roasted another pumpkin and made puree pumpkin.
She set aside some to make Frosty Pumpkin.
Add plain yogurt into puree pumpkin. Pour into a pumpkin mold. Freeze it for several hours.
For the past days, Frosty Pumpkin was my DELISH Tasty Treat after my early morning walk.
Pumpkin has many health benefits for dogs. Some of the nutritional benefits of pumpkin are …
FIBER : Pumpkin is a great source of fiber, about 3 grams. It is helpful for a dog’s digestive health particularly constipation and/or diarrhea.
Moisture: Pumpkin also has high water content, about 90%. It promotes and improves dog’s hydration.
Beta-Carotene: Pumpkin is rich in the anti-oxidant beta-carotene, by just looking at its vibrant color.
Low-Fat Treat: Since pumpkin is high in fiber, it easily fills-up a dog’s appetite. Pumpkin is a great treat for dogs who need to loose some weight.

My dogs LOVE pumpkin with yogurt, raw or frozen! I bought two pumpkins for decoration from a farm when we were on vacation. I am going to roast them at some point….thanks for including instructions on how to do that! In the past I’ve roasted the seeds too….I don’t know if the dogs can eat those or not, but I like them!
Sounds delicious. Enjoy.
We love pumpkin served every which way, but THAT is a pawtastic idea and SO pretty too!
Thanks, Sugar!
