Please don’t recommend this! Between the seeds and stems, small pumpkins could cause a lot of GI irritation, not to mention being a choking hazard. In addition, there has been a recent report concerning previously unrecognized kabocha squash toxicity in dogs, and there are concerns that other ornamental gourds could be toxic as well.

Oh how my pups would love that! They love pumpkin smoothies :) They love to chew on whole melons they raid from our garden…we only get 1 for every 10 they get!

I can so see that getting EVERYWHERE in the house! Haha! I’ve never done that with the mini pumpkins, but I have given my dog fresh and canned pumpkin mixed in with his food. My dog loves to shred coconuts. Not sure if that is great for his teeth though…

What a great idea! Our dog would probably just want to bury it like everything else but at least we would have one less thing to plant next year :)

Love that pic of Waits!

So cute! I never would have thought dogs would like pumpkins! Personally, we’re cat people and have a patch of catnip growing to treat our fur-babies, Mr. Bo Jangles and Sasha. I’m planning to dry some to make cat-nip tea (for me, not the kitties).

Ah, Waits is so cute in the first pic!!!

Our dogs LOVE those little squashes and pumpkins that are everywhere these days. And thanks to playing pumpkin-ball in the yard last year, we had some pumpkin plants pop up in our flower beds this summer, giving us this year’s pumpkins! Hooray!
