Can I feed my dog plain canned pumpkin for constipation?

Dogs · Food safety
Short answer

Yes. Plain canned pumpkin is safe and can help with both constipation and mild diarrhea in dogs. It must be 100% pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling, which contains sugar and spices that can upset your dog's stomach. Feed only small amounts mixed into regular food, and call your vet or the ASPCA Poison Control line at 888-426-4435 if symptoms worsen or don't improve within a day.
