| Constipation in larger dogs?? I have a friend who's Weimeraner is constipated. I was telling her that we've given Tatum canned pumpkin for that problem and it worked great BUT I don't know how much to tell her to give the dog. What would be the right serving size for a dog that size and how often? Thanks so much!

| I am not exactly sure. But I would give him half a can and see what happened. If he didn't go by the end of the day I would give him the rest. I don't think it will hurt him to give him too much.

| For a large dog I would try 1/2 cup of pure pumpkin. Here is a great article with ideas on how to prevent constipation. Maybe you could print it out for her. Ask the Veterinarian: Dog constipation, psyllium seed husks, oat bran |
