Is pumpkin good for cats? What are its health benefits and dosage?
Hello there and thank you for using Pet Coach! Pumpkin is a great additive as it does have several benefits. While I do not think it must be a staple in the diet, it is a healthy additive. Pumpkin can aid in controlling weight, digestive health and even has shown some urinary health benefits. Many of the higher quality foods will include pumpkin in their diets. If you are planning on feeding this to the cats, it should not be a problem. I would give 1/2 - 1 tsp daily for the average sized cat. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. I am also available via consultation if needed.

What, how, and when should I feed my obese cat for weight loss?
I recommend feeding an all meat canned or wet diet with added canned plain pumpkin. Cats do not do well with carbohydrates so feeding only meat will help Pumpkin lose weight. The canned pumpkin will help fill her up and add fiber and bulk up the stool to prevent constipation. Increasing her exercise also will help. You can feed her up on the dryer or a table so she has to jump up, and having her increase her activity chasing toys or a laser pointer will help also.

Will dehydrated meat & pumpkin treats unbalance my dog's diet?
Hello, and thanks for your question. As long as Chloe tolerates the treats and they don't cause any GI upset, dehydrated meat and pumpkin treats are good options - just make sure she's still getting the majority of her calories from a complete and balanced food such as royal canin. Hope this helps!

Is it safe to put canned pumpkin in my dog's Kong toy for treats?
This is perfect! (We basically just don’t want people buying pumpkin pie filling!) PS- You may notice Cruz producing a little more stool from the extra fiber - it’s nothing to worry about! Tell Cruz to enjoy!

Which cat food is best for heart health and has essential taurine?
All cat foods now contain taurine which is an essential amino acid for cats. I personally feed all my animals Hills food since they do a lot a scientific research and their foods are based on optimal nutrients, not excessive nutrients that can add weight or unnecessary stress on the internal organs.
