🎃 6 Ways Pumpkin Guts Can Boost Your Dog’s Health ⬇️ 1- Save the pumpkin seeds Wash the seeds and either grind or ferment the seeds for your dog. Pumpkin seeds are loaded with nutrients, fiber, and antioxidants. 2 – Create a Pumpkin Puree for Your Dogs Instead of buying canned pumpkin, you can make your own with the guts removed from the pumpkin before carving. Just separate the seeds from the string material and then use a blender to puree the strings into a smooth puree. 3 – On the go Nutrient Boost Put the seeds and the strings in the freezer and when you’re ready, thaw and use when your dogs need a nutrient boost. They’re great for balancing the good gut bacteria, and it adds nutrients and anti-oxidants to your dogs’ diet. 4 – Pumpkin Stock to Add a Boost to Your Dog’s Bone Broth To make a pumpkin vegetable stock, you just need to toss the guts (seeds and strings) along with vegetable scraps into a stockpot and simmer on the stove for 30 to 60 minutes. Once finished, strain the stock until only the broth remains and this can be frozen or combined with your next completed bone broth. 5 – Pumpkin Butter for Dogs You can add a dollop of coconut oil to my dogs’ bowls a couple of days a week. Coconut oil has many benefits for dogs and I primarily add it to my dogs’ diet to boost gut health, as a natural anti-inflammatory, and an antioxidant boost. You can use the pumpkin guts to make pumpkin butter for your dogs; instead of a dollop of plain coconut oil, add the pumpkin butter instead. It only takes two ingredients: pumpkin puree (instructions above) and @cocotherapy coconut oil. How much of each is up to you so have fun with it. Blend the two ingredients together and store in the fridge. I use a regular spoon to add coconut oil to my dogs’ meals. 6 – Homemade Pumpkin Dog Treats Now this one is easy.
