Actually, dogs are true omnivores, not carnivores. Which means, like us, they eat a bit of everything. My dog Ringo loves bananas, carrots, oranges and apples. Chester won't have anything to do with fruits or veggies. They are quite different in that regard!

I was in no way suggesting that you feed your dog a diet of JUST pumpkin! Over here it is a very commonly used, safe and healthy method of firming up a dog's stools. You only put a couple tablespoons on top of the regular dog's food, and it works very well. I guess pumpkin just isn't an European kind of veggie. You could probably use some other kind of squash instead. Or just deal with runny s**t if you prefer.
