Pumpkin Powder to the Rescue!

Looking for a natural way to support your dog’s digestive health? If your pup suffers from constipation, diarrhoea, or scooting, pumpkin powder for dogs might just be the answer. It adds fibre to their diet, helping to regulate bowel movements, firm up stools, and leave your pup feeling happier, healthier, and more comfortable. 

The Power of Fibre

One of the main reasons pet owners turn to pumpkin is its natural fibre content. Pumpkin powder contains both soluble and insoluble fibre. 

• Soluble fibre absorbs excess water in the digestive tract, helping to firm up loose dog poos. 
• Insoluble fibre adds bulk and keeps food moving smoothly, promoting regular bowel movements and relieving constipation. 

This dual action makes pumpkin powder a great fibre supplement for dogs, especially for those with sensitive stomachs. 

Scooting Relief

Pet owners often search for home remedies for dog scooting. While scooting can have several underlying causes, some requiring vet attention, adding pumpkin powder to their diet may help. By improving stool consistency, it can support the natural emptying of anal glands, potentially reducing discomfort and the urge to scoot. 

Though not marketed specifically as an anal gland supplement, its stool-firming benefits can indirectly promote healthier anal gland function. 

Nutrient-Rich Superfood

Beyond its fibre content, pumpkin is packed with nutrients like Vitamins A, C, and E, as well as Iron and Potassium, which all support your dog’s overall health. It also acts as a natural prebiotic, meaning it feeds the good bacteria in your dog’s gut. A healthy gut microbiome helps prevent the growth of harmful bacteria and supports better digestion and immunity. 

How to Use Pumpkin Powder

Pumpkin powder is incredibly versatile, making it super easy to include in your dog’s diet:

• Sprinkle on meals for a tasty fibre boost. 
• Mix with water to make a soothing paste. 
• Serve as a treat alternative to processed biscuits. 
• Longer shelf life than canned or fresh pumpkin. 
• Suitable for all dogs, regardless of breed, size or age. 

Whether you use it every day or just when your dog has an upset tummy, it’s a convenient, dog-friendly superfood that supports a healthy gut and keeps tails wagging!

Feeding Guidelines

If you have any concerns about your dog’s diet, it’s best to consult your vet before introducing new supplements. Some dogs may benefit from a bland diet alongside pumpkin during digestive flare-ups. 

When choosing a pumpkin powder, look for one that’s 100% pure pumpkin with no added sugars, spices, or preservatives (like ours!). Remember that while fibre is beneficial, too much can lead to gas, bloating, or diarrhoea, so we recommend you don’t exceed the feeding guidelines below. 

• Up to 10kg - 1 teaspoon per day
• 10kg - 25kg - 2 teaspoons per day
• 25kg+ - 4 teaspoons per day
