I was unaware until this thread that pumpkin was a food for dogs, especially ones with allergies. I guess the density of the texture is meaty enough for them? Are you mixing other stuff into the pumpkin?
Can other squash varieties be consider acceptable substitutes?

No, just curry for me in the soup. Maybe some nutmeg. Now when I'm doing pumpkin bread I do all kinds of spices (allspice, mace, cinnamon, nutmeg).Chitown B wrote:sounds good thanks
so no pumpkin pie spice or the like?
We give our dog a Sams Yam chew every night. We order them in bulk but they are still pretty expensive, but she has us trained to buy them anyway. She goes freaking ballistic every night when it's her yam chewy time.wendy wrote:Sweet potato is a good substitute....Cathy2 wrote:Hi,

Recent heavy rains in the Midwest are putting pumpkin in short supply this holiday season. Food giant Nestle, which controls about 85 percent of the canned pumpkin crop, said rain seems to have destroyed what remains of a small harvest this year. It said it expects to stop shipping the holiday staple by Thanksgiving.

Sweet potatoes will do too, at least in savory recipes. I often have to substitute it because Mr. Pie won't eat squash.
