This is perfect! (We basically just don’t want people buying pumpkin pie filling!) PS- You may notice Cruz producing a little more stool from the extra fiber - it’s nothing to worry about! Tell Cruz to enjoy!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is likely the pumpkin made his stool that color and pumpkin is not harmful to dogs. However that stool looks very watery. If it continues I recommend having his stool checked by a vet for intestinal parasites. good luck and kisses to Creature!

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.

Pumpkin is good because it adds fiber to the diet leading to regular defecation, and when a dog has regular stools, that helps express the anal sacs. In fact, pumpkin is recommended to give to dogs when they are constipated. For her digestive health and anal sacs, pumpkin would be the best to give her, but as a treat, you can switch out to another tablespoon of veggies every now and then :-)

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Bentley. My concern about them is the amount of salt, garlic, and onion powder in them, all of which are toxic to dogs if enough if present. Given that he ate it within the last hour, the best thing to do is take him into the vet now to induce vomiting. This will prevent any problems from happening. Otherwise, you can monitor him and give him a little bit of canned pumpkin (one tablespoon) to see if that helps calm his stomach. If you see any vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or anorexia, have him seen by a vet immediately. I hope this helps!
