Guest Tiggy Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Can you feed sweet potato/pumpkin raw with the vegie mash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peigirl Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Yes but don't go overboard. Pumpkin is a great laxative! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillybean Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I've read on another doggy forum that cooked pumpkin (not sure about raw) is like the magic food to keep your dog "regular" lol. They suggested using it if your dog has loose stools, as well as if they're constipated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptolomy Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 My dog has severe allergies and sweet potato was one of only 2 foods that she could eat for months. Even now it is part of her base diet and I use it for training treats. I used to partially cook it in the microwave, but now feed it raw. I also feed pumpkin raw and as training treats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheridan Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 If you're going to feed pumpkin, sweet or not, you should soak it first. Chockers in phosphorus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
