Trick-or-pumpkin-treat! You’re not the only one who is ready for some pumpkin and pumpkin-flavored goodness as the leaves begin to change. Pumpkin dog treats aren’t just a delicious bite of autumn—pumpkin can also be a healthy year-round ingredient in your dog’s nutrition plan.
So, what makes pumpkin a good option for your dog’s diet? It’s a whole food packed with nutritional essentials such as fiber, antioxidants, and fatty acids that are safe for your dog to consume. It’s also helpful to your dog’s digestive system and can be served (unspiced and unsweetened) from a can as a topper or mixed into baked dog-safe treats. (If your pup prefers a cold treat, try your hand at these pumpkin pops.)
Below, check out some tasty pumpkin treats for your four-legged friend.
