Can dogs eat pumpkin?
🎃 Safe in moderation
Plain canned or cooked pumpkin is great for digestion and a vet go-to for upset stomachs. Avoid pie filling (sugar/spice).
The bottom line
Pumpkin is generally safe for dogs in small amounts as an occasional treat, prepared plainly with no added salt, sugar, oil or seasoning. Treats should make up no more than about 10% of your dog’s daily calories.
For your dog's main diet, what matters most is the food itself. Paste your dog food's ingredients into the WoofScore checker to see how it grades.
