| can you use pure pumpkin instead? sometimes baby food has added fat to it.. and extra "stuff" to preserve it. I just went and bought 100% pure pumpkin for Layla and it is JUST pumpkin. |

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | My Holistic vet recomended it too for my yorkies. I put some in a freezer baggie and make it flat and then freeze it, then you can brake pieces thaw them and give them to the pups with their food. I give it to them at least 3 times a week.The Pure pumkin from the can. hugs, Carmen in nj |

Senior Yorkie Talker | actually if you look at like Gerber baby food labels its just the veggies and water. If you are going to use baby food use a good brand like Gerber that doesnt have added junk in it. Or better yet, make some yourself since it is just veggies steamed and then smashed up
