Is Pumpkin safe for dogs?

Safe for dogs

Plain canned pumpkin is a vet-recommended digestive aid for dogs.

Plain canned pumpkin (NOT pumpkin pie filling) is high in fibre and often recommended by vets for dogs with diarrhoea or constipation. 1-4 tablespoons added to food helps regulate digestion. Must be 100% pure pumpkin.
