If your dog or cat is having the occasional case of constipation or
diarrhea, one of the things that might help is canned pumpkin. Yes
canned pumpkin in its pureed form (NOT pumpkin pie filling) is a
fantastic stool softener which makes it a good natural remedy for
constipation. It often helps with upset stomach or indigestion for
both cats and dogs. It is very rich in fibre and adding just one or
two teaspoonfuls to your pet's food often gets the system moving in
no time. Dogs will occasionally want to eat it directly and that's
fine too. Sometimes though, finicky cats and dogs won't touch it no
matter what you do.
On the opposite end of things is diarrhea. Since the dietary fibre in
canned pumpkin absorbs water, it can be a great help to a cat or dog
that has diarrhea. Some pet owners report that it firms up their
pet's loose stools or diarrhea within a few hours. Again one to two
teaspoonfuls is all that is needed.
