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!

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 using Boop by Petco! 1-2 teaspoons of canned pumpkin twice per day is a normal amount for a dog of Vega's size. However, you should be careful to only feed canned pumpkin, rather than pumpkin pie filling. Pumpkin does have a good amount of fiber in it, and may cause a little bit of gas. You can also try some plain green beans or boiled sweet potato. There are many good dog foods available. I recommend brands such as Purina, Hill's, and Royal Canin as these have a long history of being nutritionally balanced for dogs of various ages. There are options available for foods lower in fat and which are easier to digest. I hope this helps and am happy to answer any other questions you may have!

A larger than expected amount of canned pumpkin is unlikely to have any adverse effects apart from maybe flatulance. I would recommend a probiotic/fiber supplement such as fortiflora after antibiotics however as this also helps to restore the natural gut bacteria

Personally I would just give plain canned pumpkin for the added fiber. I start with a tablespoon in each meal and increase it a little as needed to increase the bulk of the stool. This will be less expensive. I’m not sure this or the fruitables will be effective though. I recommend having the anal sacs expressed on a regular schedule, usually about every two to three months to prevent an anal sac infection. Thanks for using Boop by Petco to help you care for Chloe.
