Any Q

The short answer: Yes, dogs can eat pumpkin — both the pulp and the seeds — but only when prepared properly and served plain (sorry, no pumpkin pie for you, pup). 19 нояб. 2021 г.


Can dogs eat the whole pumpkin?

Your dog isn't going to become immediatley sick from eating the flesh of the raw pumpkin. However, it's not recommended to let them eat a whole pumpkin, including the rind and stem. This is too much fiber at one time and poses a risk for abdominal discomfort or possibly an intestinal blockage.

Can dogs eat the hard part of the pumpkin?

The hard outer pumpkin shell isn't particularly tasty or digestible, but you know some dogs will eat anything! Plus, the outer pumpkin skin may have prickly hairs and include the stem, which isn't good to eat. However, the fleshy fruit inside is a better bet.

Is the stem of a pumpkin toxic to dogs?

The pumpkin itself, including the innards and seeds, are typically safe for a dog to consume. The one element to worry about is the stem. The hard stem does not break down well, and the dog may consider the size and texture an ideal chew toy.
