Frosty Pumpkin: Benefits of Pumpkin for Dogs

October 8, 2013

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.

Frosty PUMPKIN: Sugar The Golden Retriever

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 …
Benefits of Pumpkin For Dogs: Sugar The Golden Retriever

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.

Definitely Tuesdays Just Got Tastier.
