Pumpkin Dog Treats
with Honey, Cinnamon and Cloves
Pumpkin may be a fall time favorite, but pumpkin dog treats are an anytime favorite with dogs.
And who could blame them, pumpkins are a good source of beta-carotene, potassium, iron, zinc and vitamin C. They are also high in fiber and low in fat.
Pumpkin is even a fine choice for dogs with sensitive stomachs. A small amount can aid in relieving symptoms of diarrhea and constipation.
Tip: When you're purchasing canned pumpkin, be sure that it is not pumpkin pie filling.
