The science: Pumpkin is a superfood for dogs. It contains essential micronutrients and fiber that make it a very nutritious treat. Besides being a natural stomach soother, pumpkin also helps to remove excess water in a dog's digestive tract. Pumpkin contains vitamins like A, C, and E, as well as minerals like iron and potassium. Due to its high soluble fiber content, pumpkin is very good for your dog’s digestion. In addition, fermentation of the same fiber produces beneficial fatty acids that supply energy to cells. Pumpkin also aids in lowering the acidity level of your dog’s large intestines (source: Pets WebMD). Peanut butter can be an excellent source of protein and healthy fats, vitamins B and E, and niacin for dogs. Eggs are perfectly safe for dogs, and a great source of nutrition for your canine companion - they are high in protein, fatty acids, vitamins, and fatty acids that help support your dog inside and out (source: American Kennel Club).
