Add a photoPumpkin and Sweet Potato are great vegetables for our pets for the following reasons:
1.) Digestive Health: Pumpkin & Sweet Potato are fabulous sources of fiber, vitamins and minerals for our furry friends. It can also help dogs and cats with indigestion, upset stomachs or constipation. The minerals calcium and magnesium along with the high water content help with that. They're good for hairballs in cats--much more healthy than the oil-based hairball formulas.
2.) Urinary Health: The oils in pumpkins’ flesh and seeds along with the vitamins and minerals found in cranberries are believed to support urinary health.
3.) Weight Loss: Dogs seem to love the flavor of pumpkin, reduce the amount of kibble and replace equal portion of canned pumpkin. The fiber content will make their tummy feel just as full, and they might even thank you for the additional flavor.
