If you have extra pumpkin leftover from Halloween jack-o-lanterns, this is a great way to put that to use! Pumpkin can also be a great additive to your dog’s food, if you have a little extra you still need to use up. Just make sure you’re using pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, dogs can’t have all those additives. But a tablespoon of pumpkin mixed in with their food can be a lovely fall treat full of fiber and vitamins.
