I have an idea for everyone.....try pumpkin seeds instead! You can roast them yourself (with no added spices), or I'm pretty sure I've seen packages of them at gas stations as snacks....but you'd probably want to steer clear of too much salt. I was eating some, and Bella was so interested I thought I'd see what she thought about them. She LOVES them and just crunches and chews them up, then wants more! AND, I've noticed pumpkin seeds are an ingredient in a few premium dog foods (I'd have to look again to see which ones, but it may have been either Orijen or NV--I've looked at both of those recently). I have a feeling your pups would like them too, and they wouldn't have the effects that pure pumpkin has on their stools.
Question about using pumpkin, though....someone said they use it for constipation only, but I thought you could give pumpkin for diarrhea?! Did I just totally get that wrong?? Good grief.... |
