The Health Benefits of Pumpkin for Dogs (and Why It’s a Soopa Superfood)

Barbara Mary Hanly

If you’re looking for healthy pumpkin treats for dogs, you’re barking up the right pumpkin patch! 
Pumpkin isn’t just a seasonal favourite for humans - it’s a Soopa Superfood that keeps your dog’s tummy happy, coat shiny, and tail wagging all autumn long.

 Why Pumpkin Is So Good for Dogs

Pumpkin is one of those magical ingredients that’s both tasty and incredibly nutritious.
Here’s why dogs (and their humans) love it so much:

  • High in Fibre: Pumpkin helps regulate digestion, making it perfect for dogs with sensitive stomachs.

  • Loaded with Vitamins: It’s full of vitamins A, C, and E -  great for eye health, immunity, and skin.

  • Natural Hydration: With 90% water content, pumpkin helps keep your dog hydrated.

  • Low in Calories: Ideal for weight management without missing out on delicious flavour.

  • Packed with Antioxidants: Pumpkin fights off free radicals and supports long-term wellness.

It’s no wonder Soopa calls pumpkin one of our signature superfoods!

A Natural Tummy Tamer

If your pup ever has an upset tummy, pumpkin can work wonders.
Its gentle fibre helps firm up stools when things get too loose and softens them when they’re too hard.
In other words, it’s nature’s digestive balancer!

That’s why adding healthy pumpkin treats for dogs into your pet’s daily routine is a simple way to support good gut health year-round.

 Pumpkin for Dental Health

Pumpkin isn’t just good for digestion - it’s also a tasty way to help keep your dog’s teeth clean!
When blended into a dental stick or chew, pumpkin’s soft texture and natural sweetness make brushing-time feel like treat-time.
