7. Pumpkin
Like salmon, pumpkin is a superfood. It boasts an ample number of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. These aid in the health of the urinary tract. Pumpkin seeds and skins both contain certain oils. These oils will help maintain the health of your dog’s urinary tract. Doggos who suffer from incontinence regarding urination could definitely use some pumpkin in their diet. Pumpkin also regulates digestion. This is as a result of a large amount of fiber in pumpkin. Fibre regulates digestion and adds bulk to stool, therefore reducing the incidents of diarrhea in your dog.
It even aids in weight loss. Pumpkin delivers all these nutrients but does not come with the added calories. By replacing some of your dog’s regular food with pumpkin, you could help your dog shed some of those unhealthy and bothersome pounds. It is known to be a natural deworming agent. Pumpkin seeds have an amino acid called cucurbatin. This has been seen to effectively rid both humans and dogs of certain parasites that thrive in the digestive tract.

Literally, the entire pumpkin can be given to your dog. The seeds can be ground up and sprinkled over their food and the rest can simply be cooked and fed to them directly. Pumpkin not only can improve your dog’s health, but it is also very tasty.
It should not be hard to convince your pooch to eat this, without the need for any added spices or oils. Small dogs can be fed 1 to 2 teaspoons a day, it is 1 to 2 tablespoons for medium dogs and up to 5 tablespoons for large dogs. For every 10 pounds that your dog weighs, it can be given a quarter of a teaspoon of ground pumpkin seeds in their food on a daily basis.
