Default canine constipation

Kathleen said in
rec.pets.dogs.health:

Canned pumpkin, the solid pack pureed kind, not the
premixed pumpkin pie filling. My three dogs (2 BCs & a
jrt) split a 15 oz can mixed with their supper kibble,
roughly in proportion to their weights. They like the
taste of it and it helps them feel full in addition to
encouraging a hearty early morning dump.


Agreed on all counts, though I find pumpkin as an only-when-
they-need-it accompaniment works best here, as does using only a
couple of heaping tablespoons of the stuff per meal.
