Why this superfood is one of the healthiest ingredients you can give your pup.
Pumpkin isn’t just a fall favorite — it’s one of the best superfoods you can add to your dog’s diet. From digestive support to essential vitamins, pumpkin offers an impressive list of health benefits. It’s no wonder it’s a key ingredient in so many of our treats at PAWsitively Organic Dog Bakery!
Let’s take a look at why pumpkin is so good for dogs — and how to safely serve it.
1. Pumpkin Supports Healthy Digestion
Pumpkin is rich in soluble fiber, which helps regulate your dog’s digestive system.
It can help with:
-
Loose stools
-
Constipation
-
Sensitive stomachs
Fiber absorbs water, adds bulk, and helps food move smoothly through your dog’s system. It’s gentle, natural, and safe for most dogs.
2. Packed With Nutrients
Pumpkin is loaded with essential vitamins and minerals that support your dog’s overall health:
-
Vitamin A – for vision and immune support
-
Vitamin C – boosts immunity
-
Vitamin E – supports skin & coat
-
Potassium – regulates hydration
-
Iron – helps carry oxygen in the blood
It’s nutrient-dense while still being naturally low in calories.
3. Great for Weight Management
Because pumpkin is high in fiber and low in fat, it helps dogs feel full longer without adding unnecessary calories.
Perfect for pups who:
-
Need to shed a few pounds
-
Tend to overeat
-
Get hungry often
It’s a healthy, natural filler that keeps them satisfied.
4. Promotes Healthy Skin & Coat
Pumpkin contains beta-carotene, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids that contribute to:
-
Softer fur
-
Less shedding
-
Reduced dryness
-
Healthier skin
Many customers tell us their dog’s coat looks shinier after switching to our pumpkin-based treats!
5. Gentle on Sensitive Stomachs
Pumpkin is mild, soothing, and easy to digest — perfect for dogs with:
-
Food sensitivities
-
Upset stomachs
-
Allergies
-
Irregular digestion
This is why it’s one of the signature ingredients in our bestselling treats.
