FRUITS OF FALL
HEALTHY PET TIP
Leathery, round balls of fleshy orange fruit, pumpkins are
one of the season’s best foods for animals -- and humans
alike. Oftentimes referred to as a vegetable in culinary
terms, pumpkins are by definition in fact, berry-like bo-
tanical fruits from the squash family, containing seeds and
sprouting from flowers. Packed with vitamins and phytonu-
trients and an excellent source of dietary fiber, pumpkin is
one of Nature’s Superfoods, rich in Antioxidants, Vitamins
A, C, and E.
Grinning Jack-o-Lanterns may symbolize the beginning of
fall harvest, seasonal pies and savory dishes, but all-natu-
ral, pure pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie mix!) is something
every pet guardian should have stocked in your pantry all-
year-round. Dogs and cats love its natural taste and texture
added to their diet. Did you know that pumpkin is essential
for a healthy digestive tract? The dietary fiber in pumpkin is
extremely helpful in eliminating diarrhea, soothing constipa-
tion, and preventing hair balls.
So as your family gathers around the table this holiday sea-
son, consider adding a little pumpkin purée to your fur kids’
bowl for a guilt-free Holiday treat with tons of healthy bene-
fits. Whether transitioning your dog or cat to new foods or
supplementing your pet’s current diet for digestive health,
or as a natural remedy for weight loss, Fruitables Pumpkin
Purée is one of Pussy & Pooch’s most highly recommended
pet essentials for your daily feeding routine! Or if you are
looking to prepare an easy DIY treat at home, you can whisk
two tablespoons of pumpkin purée and goats milk together
and top with a sprinkle of cinnamon for a Pumpkin Latte –
Yum!
