For your furry friends, a little too much food can sometimes mean a holiday hangover. But not to worry, one seasonal favorite can be used year-round to help soothe that holiday bellyache \u2013 pumpkin!<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s right, pumpkin is a digestive health lifesaver, the Imodium or Pepto for pets. Packed with both soluble and insoluble fiber content, pumpkin helps to soothe an upset stomach, slows digestion and firms up loose stools.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But that\u2019s not all. The healthy fiber in pumpkin helps your pet feel more satiated so they won\u2019t be hungry if they\u2019re trying to shed a few pounds. Pumpkin is also low in calories and rich in essential nutrients, like vitamins A &amp; C, potassium, antioxidants, fatty acids and beta carotene. Plus, it\u2019s a great source of hydration which can help with a pet\u2019s constipation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Giving Your Pets Pumpkin Safely<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not sure about the amount of pumpkin to feed your pets? <\/span>Just a tablespoon per 10 pounds of body weight is all it takes (max out at 5 tablespoons when it comes to the bigger guys). You can add it to your pet\u2019s food, mix with other healthy ingredients &amp; freeze fresh pumpkin, or offer it alone as a tasty treat!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you reach into your cupboard for your human-grade canned pumpkin, pumpkin seeds, pureed pumpkin or pumpkin pie filling, check out the special formulations created specifically for your furry friend. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>CHECK OUT our <em>Noseworthy<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/chuckanddons.com\/collections\/pumpkin\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">pumpkin<\/span> <\/a>OPTIONS<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Visit your <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/stores.chuckanddons.com\/\">local Chuck &amp; Don&#8217;s<\/a><\/span> and talk with a <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/chuckanddons.com\/pages\/pet-foodies\">Pet Foodie<\/a><\/span> to find out which option will get you ready to handle the inevitable holiday hangover!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The holidays mean family, friends, fun and of course, food!
