Pumpkin is an excellent source of fiber and great for digestive health. Pureed pumpkin (with no added sugar or spice) can help dogs and cats with both constipation and diarrhea. The oils in pumpkins’ flesh and seeds are believed to support urinary health. They are also an excellent source of vitamin A, beta-carotene, potassium, and iron, and may even reduce the likelihood your pet will develop cancer.
Cranberries
Cranberries contain bacteria-blocking compounds that are believed to be helpful in preventing urinary tract infections, and scientists now think this same function may be useful in blocking the bacteria responsible for ulcers and certain oral bacteria that can lead to gum disease. Researchers are investigating its potential against cancer, stroke, and viral infections.
