Pumpkin

[LynnA]

I want to mix some pumpkin in Otis's dry food, how much is too much and should I do it at both of his feedings. Also, is baby food okay to use?

I give a heaping spoonful for each my boys every so often. Sometimes more to finish the can before they go bad. I found that they last longer when you freeze them in ice cube trays. I'd then thaw and give 1 cube each.

The ones to get are the 100% pure pumpkin, not the pie filling. If the baby food is 100% pumpkin, I'm thinking it should be ok.

Since BabyGirl has been on medication for her UTI she's not wanted to eat much so I tried chicken and apples babyfood and she laps that up. I checked the ingredient list too!

That's great, baby food is expensive but good for them!

Really? I've never heard of that. Sounds like a pretty good topping when they don't want to eat their kibble.

Samantha was very sick last month and the vet gave me a can of pumpkin to stop her diarrhea it worked great since she didn't want to eat anything. Now I just buy a few cans and I mix it with her dry food once in a while this will help her digestive system. Myself, I rather buy the can than baby food. Check out the pic this is when she was sick..

I will continue to stock it in my cabinet as well. Samantha is a cutie!

So do you think baby food is more expensive than a can of Libby's pumpkin? I could probably open a can then freeze the rest in a 4oz Ball jar, right?

Pumpkin freezes great in ice cube trays - after a day or so i pop them out into a big zip lock bag for storage until needed. It just gets a little watery after it thaws but they don't seem to notice a difference.

EDIT: It works great with yogurt too!

I did freeze pumpkin in an ice cube tray one time, but the bf kept saying 'what the heck is that stuff, puke? how long is it going to sit in here?'

lol so i got rid of it, since they didn't need it that much. I thought maybe the little Ball jars would look a little more appealing
