[nagdu] Pumpkin dog treaks and dog dreams

[Mark J. Cadigan]

John,



I do know of a dog treat that contains pumpkin. It is the Zukes Z-bone. 
However, this will break the bank at around $3.00 a crack. I only give my 
dog one once in a blue moon.



Pumpkin is good for the dog's cote, however, I've found other things that 
work better for me, and my dog enjoys more. (My dog hates the taste of 
pumpkin). I'm at work, so I don't have the name of it, but I have an 
essential oils based dog cote conditioner. Combine that with high quality 
dog food, and you have a very healthy shiny clean smelling dog.



That being said, pumpkin works wonders for anal gland issues, as well as 
soft stule.
