Any Q

One common misconception is that pumpkin may help cats with vomiting and “settle their stomach.” However, there is no evidence that it performs that function. The added fiber may help with certain digestive problems, but it isn't going to instantly stop any vomiting.


Will pumpkin settle a cats stomach?

If your pet's intestinal distress is minor, a healthy, natural treatment may already be in your own pantry. Surprisingly, plain, unsweetened cooked pumpkin can help with both diarrhea and constipation. You can give your dog or cat plain canned, puréed pumpkin or fresh, cooked pumpkin.

What can I feed my cat to stop vomiting?

Though many pet parents prefer dry food for its convenience and affordability, wet food may be a better option to help stop vomiting. Compared to dry food, wet food is generally higher in protein, lower in carbohydrates, and richer in moisture, making it more palatable and digestible for many cats.

How long does it take for pumpkin to work on cats?

If you decide to help treat your cat's constipation or diarrhea by adding pumpkin to his diet, you should see improvements within a few hours to 1-2 days. Most cats will enjoy a bit of pumpkin mixed in with their wet food, or all by itself.
