I noticed my grogery store is selling pumpkin again. Pumpkin was hard to find because the pumpkin crop last year was really bad and there was no canned pumpkin on the shelves for months. This year the pumpkins seem plentiful and are nice looking. Hopefully the pumpkin shortage is over.

Dumb question.. but what does giving pumpkin to my little one do for him? Isnt it just to help if he's constipated?

Plus, since it's very low in calories, it'll help fill them up, and not out.

I put it in his homemade treats,and give once a day.

Silly me - I was half expecting to see a Yorkie named Kroger posed with a jack-o-lantern. My vet had me add a bit of pumpkin to every meal my dog ate to keep her regular. As she aged, she had problems with her anal glands not emptying properly and had to have them expressed frequently. After she started getting the pumpkin, she didnt have that problem. When pumpkin wasn't available in the stores, we switched to frozen butternut squash.

You might want to stock up, just in case.

Our Red Bandana Pet Food Stores are now selling pumpkin made for cats and dogs. It's called Fruitables by Harvest Fresh. I even use it to give pills. My bunch love it!

That's good to know!

You can also make your own treats using pumpkin, if you have time. That's what I do, and my husband always thinks I'm baking something for us, for dinner!

WV~Yorkies · 09-29-2010, 03:43 AM

found a simple one I think I will try.

2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
2 eggs
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
2 tablespoons peanut butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For those of us in GA, I've found Ingles carries pumpkin year round.

Please try to freeze some its so easy. Buy pie pumpkins at the store, i usually get 3 of them around 8" each, then i cut a few slits in the whole pumpkin, wash the skin well and bake in the oven 350 i believe it was 1 hour baking in the middle shelf for all three, cookie sheet under them for drippings. I got about 4 cups per pumpkin, pureed with a hand blender and froze it all in 1 hours worth of work, here is a link to the site. But it works wonderful no worries looking for in the stores later in the year.

Ingredients:
1. Pumpkin (1 whole can of pure)
2. Oatmeal (1/2 cup of Old Fashioned)
3. Chicken (Purdue ground chicken beast) 1 pound.
4. String beans (fresh, diced) 3/4 cup

Put oatmeal in a blender or food processor, blend until it looks like flour.
Mix all of the ingredients together.
Spoon onto a nonstick baking sheet or pizza stone.
Bake at 350 for about 1 1/2 hours. Turn over midway cooking cycle.
Turn oven off, but leave it in the oven for about 30 more minutes.

Hints: Make small spoonfuls for faster baking. I keep four in the fridge, the rest in the freezer in a freezer bag. Prince even likes them right out of the freezer!!

Prince loves these, and they smell great!
