Food & NutritionCan my young puppies safely eat sweet potatoes and pumpkin as treats?
Hello, & thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. If the majority of your pups diet is a good quality puppy food ( at least 80% ), then you can supplement with the sweet potatoes, vegetables (?), & only a very small amount of pumpkin. Pumpkin has a lot of fiber, so restrict this so as not to cause a loose stool. Also, make sure it is canned, or cooked pumpkin, & not pumpkin pie filling. Take care.
