Attractive title, I know.

My family is well known for procrastinating! We're carving pumpkins either tonight or tomorrow (or this weekend, or you know, go big or go home might as well do it wednesday!). Which means a lot of pumpkin guts all over the place. I know pumpkin is good for dogs (but... um... why??) but can I just GIVE the guts to them? Or is there something I've got to do first? And can they have the seeds or no? What about the chunks of pumpkin that get carved out? How long can I store the extra in the freezer/fridge?

I did read the other thread on how much pumpkin... so should I not bother giving pumpkin at all if we've got no stool problems? I just thought it'd be a fun, different treat. Mix things up and what not.

Also, yogurt doesn't sit well with the lab's stomach. Even though pumpkin isn't dairy, should I avoid giving it to him knowing how he tolerates yogurt?

i think i gave cut outs, guts, and seeds to ours but not a lot of them, i think its ok in small portions. you can do a google search for it.

I just cooked a small pumpkin in the crock pot to have some for pumpkin pie and save some for the dogs.

As for the seed. I dry them out and brush melded butter over them then salt them with sea salt and bake them until the golden brown. Make my own pumpkin seeds yum.

I don't know about the stringy stuff for dogs.

Thanks guys! I'll look into it some more.
