[Dailydrool] Pumpkin vs.squash

[Karen Cannon]

Can anyone tell me if it's OK to substitue squash for pumpkin when feeding it to dogs for fibre and to keep their stool solid?  After all, what is a pumpkin, but a type of squash?
This would be the hard shell, orange winter squash - like Hubbard or Acorn squash.

Our Lucie (almost a year old) is fed a tablespoon or so a day and I like to cook fresh for her rather than using canned, and pumpkin season is over - so can I use squash?

If anyone is going to know, it's going to be the people who make up the "Basset Cult"!

I am proud to be a member.

Loads of drool to all houndies and two-leggers who are in need.
