| I've used it for diarrhea and it stopped it has stopped it in its tracks most of the time. Be sure to get the PLAIN pumpkin, not the pie filling kind. I buy the organic kind.

| My dogs get a little pumpkin with each meals. It keeps their bowels regular and they seem to really like it. Just make sure to get the PLAIN pumpkin and not the pie filling, which has sugar and other stuff in it they don't need. You can also steam pumpkin or other kinds of squash to keep things interesting.

Paris: Always in my ♥ Donating YT Member | Paris seems to like it alot. It's probably better to add to his food than canned dog food to add moisture but what nutritional value does it add? I wonder how many calories too. Better do some research.... |
