Some pups – mine included – can eat (and eat and eat) without ever seeming to get a full belly. And, as you can see, North's already a big fan of pumpkin. Adding one to the other, and I wanted to share yet another use for this can o' goodness – weight loss.
If your pup's a touch overweight (maybe it's those puppy-dog eyes pleading for another peanut butter yum), consider adding some pumpkin to his normal meal plan. Substitute pure, canned pumpkin (not pie filling) for one-third of your pet's diet. This roughage has a similar texture to canned dog food and happens to be vitamin-filled and super filling, too.

AND they absolutely love it.
It doesn't give them the 'runs' or anything does it?? My chubby Collie gets a mix of kibble and green beans. I am sure she would love a change.
