Pumpkin is good for both cats and dogs. It is filled with healthy vitamins and minerals, and it acts as a binding agent for pets, so if your pet has loose stools, you can add a little freshly pureed pumpkin in their diet. You can also use it to decrease constipation – because pumpkin is just that perfect of a food!
