Fun fact: Dogs love pumpkin! Not only is it a tasty treat, but it’s packed full of fibre which can be the perfect remedy for upset tums. Before they tuck in, check out our tips below.

🎃 For a medium-sized dog, we recommend around four to five tablespoons a couple of times a week as too much could cause constipation.

🎃 For Kong feeders, you can mix it with natural yogurt, wet dog food or other fruit and veg to your dog’s taste.

🎃 The pumpkin should always be fresh and make sure you remove the rind, stem and pulp, as it may cause intestinal blockages.

What type of dog water bowl do you use? 🐶💧

The dog water bowl has previously been identified as the third most contaminated🦠 item within the household and can be a breeding ground for dangerous germs & life-threatening bacteria🧫 that can put the entire house at risk, researchers at University Centre Hartpury have revealed.

So, which dish is best to use for a dog water bowl? The bowl that grows the least amount of life-threatening bacteria!

In the first study of its’ kind, Hartpury scientists found stainless steel grew the least amount of bacteria and over time, plastic bowls grew the highest amount, but the shocking part was the most harmful bacterial species (including salmonella, E. coli and MRSA) were most frequently identified in CERAMIC bowls!

Lead can also be a problem when using ceramic bowls, and the endocrine disrupting chemicals found in plastic bowls are a no-go! Also be aware plastic bowls🥣 can cause Plastic Dish Nasal Dermatitis🙀: Chemicals in plastic absorb through the skin and inhibit the synthesis of melanin, leaving the nose👃🏼 and adjacent areas with pink blotches.
