So, let’s dive into why adding healthy fall vegetables, like pumpkin, to your dog’s diet can make a real difference in their health. Plus, we’ll chat about the specific ingredients we use and why they’re so important for your furry friend’s well-being.


Why Fall Vegetables Like Pumpkin Are a Game-Changer for Dog Health

Imagine strolling through a farmers' market with a pumpkin spice latte in hand (shout out to my American dog moms reading this…), picking up the season's freshest veggies. The glorious oranges, yellows and reds fill you with yummy memories. 

While you're there, make sure you grab an extra pumpkin or two because your pup can benefit from it just as much as you can. Pumpkins, especially, are packed with nutrients that support everything from digestion to skin health.

Pumpkin is rich in fiber, which helps regulate your dog’s digestive system. If your pup has ever had tummy troubles, you know how important this is! Fiber from pumpkin helps maintain regular bowel movements and can even assist in managing weight by keeping your dog feeling fuller for longer.

But that’s not all—pumpkins are also loaded with vitamins A, C, and E. These vitamins are crucial for maintaining your dog’s eye health, immune system, and skin. As the days get shorter and the weather gets cooler, adding these vitamins to your dog’s diet can help them stay healthy and vibrant.

Here’s the thing: We know you care about what you’re feeding your pup.

That’s why we’ve taken the guesswork out of it with our Pumpkin Oat Pawsome Bites. These treats are made with fresh Swiss pumpkin, organic oats, and a few other powerhouse ingredients that we’re going to break down for you next.


The Powerhouse Ingredients in Pumpkin Oat Pawsome Bites

Let’s get into the nitty-gritty of what makes our Pumpkin Oat Pawsome Bites so darn special.

1. Fresh Swiss Pumpkin

Why It’s Great: We’ve already touched on pumpkin’s fiber content, but let’s also talk about beta-carotene. This compound, which gives pumpkin its bright orange color, is converted into vitamin A in your dog’s body. Vitamin A is essential for maintaining good vision, supporting a strong immune system, and promoting healthy skin.

How It Helps: If your pup suffers from dry skin or a dull coat, the beta-carotene in pumpkin can help add some shine and luster back to their fur. Plus, the added fiber can help with digestion, which is crucial for overall health.

2. Organic Oats

Why It’s Great: Oats are a gentle grain that’s easy on your dog’s digestive system. They’re also packed with essential nutrients like iron and B vitamins, which are vital for maintaining energy levels and a healthy coat.

How It Helps: If your pup has a sensitive stomach, oats are a fantastic grain to incorporate into their diet. They’re low in gluten and high in soluble fiber, making them a great option for maintaining healthy digestion.

3. Flaxseed

Why It’s Great: Flaxseed is an incredible source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for reducing inflammation, supporting heart health, and promoting a shiny coat.

How It Helps: Regularly including flaxseed in your dog’s diet can lead to healthier skin, reduced shedding, and even improved joint health—perfect for pups with arthritis or other joint issues.


4. Coconut Oil

Why It’s Great: Coconut oil is known for its antimicrobial and antifungal properties, which can help keep your pup’s skin and coat healthy. It’s also a great energy source, thanks to its medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs).

How It Helps: Coconut oil can help with skin conditions like hot spots, dry skin, or allergic reactions. Plus, it supports overall brain function, keeping your dog sharp and active.

5. Whole Wheat Flour

Why It’s Great: Whole wheat flour is a nutritious source of carbohydrates, fiber, and protein, providing a balanced energy source for your dog.

How It Helps:The fiber in whole wheat flour aids digestion, while the protein helps support muscle health. It’s a wholesome, unrefined ingredient that gives our treats the perfect texture.
