Pumpkin is not only a favorite among humans but also a highly nutritious food that offers a plethora of health benefits. While often associated with gut health and probiotics, pumpkin is actually considered a prebiotic food for dogs.
Unlike probiotics, which are live microorganisms, prebiotics are non-digestible carbohydrates in the form of fiber. They act as nourishment for the probiotic microbes in the gut, much like fertilizer for a lawn. |

Fiber? Short Chain Fatty Acids? What are These?
|
|
|
|
| | Over 70% of a dog's immune system resides in the gut, it becomes crucial to combine the use of a daily probiotic with prebiotics and prebiotic foods. Prebiotics feed the good bacteria in the gut, promoting a healthy gut flora and a strong gut lining to ward off pathogens. They can also help dogs experiencing constant loose stool. |
|
|
|
When these non-digestible carbohydrates reach a dog's colon, they undergo fermentation, resulting in the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). These SCFAs serve as a food source for the gut microbes and also provide protection for the gut lining against pathogens and foreign invaders. |

How to Prepare Pumpkin for Your Pup
|
|
|
|
To prepare pumpkin for your furry friend, it is recommended to steam or bake it, removing the skin and seeds after cooking. Baking at 350°F to 400°F (175°C to 200°C) for 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the pumpkin's size, is ideal. If baking, remember to poke holes in the skin to prevent blistering. Allow the pumpkin to cool before serving it to your pup.
