Did you know that pumpkin is good for your Dog ? Well it is,not only do most of them like it but it is also very nutritious for them as it is for us.If you have any interest in making some homemade treats for your best friends let me know and I'll post some recipes,don't forget they like treats just like we do.

How about cats? Is it good for them too? Mine seem to be too picky to eat things that are not meat or fish.

It is good for them also,sorry I forgot the cats.I lost my cat about a year and a half ago.It's loaded with vitamins and minerals ,I had read where you can add a little to their wet or dry food to get them to eat it,or something else they like.Just remember 100% pumpkin not pumpkin pie mix they don't need the sugar.Cats are a little more picky when it comes to eating.I just thought it's pumpkin season and we should include our best friends with some treats also.I'll check for homemade cat treats also if there is interest.

My dogs love carrots, pumpkin, celery, cabbage, broccoli...I could go on and on. The vet did warn me that carrots have a lot of sugar so I would be better off giving them frozen green beans. I figured I would switch to the green beans for winter when the activity drops off a bit. (I wish someone would limit my food intake...)
I will make the dog treats they sound pretty good. I think rolling them in a rope shape then cutting them into little bites would be great. Will let you know the results.
May go buy a pie pumpkin I saw the other day. They were .69 a pound a bit less than a can of pumpkin but the cooking has to be done. I will see how it goes. I happen to have a bit of "stale" Italian bread and was going to make pumpkin bread pudding this weekend. The pumpkin will do for both.

Yes most dogs will eat pumpkin as long as it's cooked and mashed or pureed.You can also feed cats but they seem to eat it better mix in with other things.Don't over feed this could act as a laxitive if fed too much,as it is full of fiber.

I feed my dogs all sorts of veggies they love them also.Whenever I was using any of my electric gadgets they would come out and bark like crazy so I started giving them veggies and they soon stopped this nonsense.They associated these noises with something good to eat.Now they sit and wait for their treat,quietly.I make home made sauerkraut and they always share the core and they also like a little sauerkraut when it's done fermenting.I wouldn't feed store bought sauerkraut too salty and I'm not sure how it is processed .You can roll the dough out too and cut with cookie cutters,although I think that's more for us then them lol lol !
