Canned pumpkin is good for dogs in moderation.

However too my canned pumpkin can cause your dog to have diarrhea and an upset stomach.

Canned pumpkin is beneficial to your dogs health in moderation.

The canned pumpkin is a good source of soluble fiber, which can also help to regulate your dogs digestion and prevent constipation in your dog.

Canned pumpkin also contains vitamins A, vitamin C and vitamin E, as well as other minerals, such as magnesium and potassium which is also healthy and beneficial for your dog.

The canned pumpkin also contains antioxidants that also help to boost your dogs immune system and protect against cell damage.

While the canned pumpkin is healthy for your dog in moderation, feeding your dog too much canned pumpkin or feeding your dog canned pumpkin too often could result in stomach upset, digestive issues and even diarrhea in your dog.

Also avoid giving your dog any pumpkin pie filling as it contains sugar and other ingredients which are not healthy for your dog.

And also check for any allergies as some dogs can be allergic to pumpkin, so it's important that you introduce your dog the canned pumpkin gradually and monitor the dog for any possible allergic reactions and adverse effects from the canned pumpkin.

The recommended amount of canned pumpkin for small dogs under 10 lbs is up to 1/2 teaspoon of canned pumpkin per day.

For medium dogs from 11 lbs to 30 lbs, the recommended amount of canned pumpkin per day is 1 tablespoon per day and dogs over 31 lbs can have up to 2 tablespoons per day although some dogs may be okay eating a bit more canned pumpkin.
