My 16 week old GSD puppy has pudding diarrhea and I would like to give him some canned pumpking to help him out.
Give one teaspoon with his next meal and two teaspoons with the following meal. (If he will eat it plain, and many will, then it doesn't have to wait for his next meal.) If necessary, a tablespoon can be tried with the third mail.
This is from experience; I'm not a health professional.
There is no downside, IMO, to pumpkin in these amounts. It's not a grain, and it's not one of the common allergy triggers.

Hi James,
I've had good experience using pumpkin too. Depending on the age & size of your pup between 1 tsp and 1 tbsp will do fine. Start with a tsp and see how he does, if he won't eat it plain try mixing it with some regular food (if you feed dry and he still won't eat it you can try mixing it with some canned food). In my own experience most of our dogs will eat it up as is w/o any trouble. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
When you buy the canned pumpkin make sure you get pure pumpkin and not pumpkin pie mix... they don't do tend to achieve the same end result <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Just an FYI - pumpkin is also supposed to be good for stopping stool-eating. Feed it and the disgusting stool-eaters won't touch that stool. Haven't tried it, but I've heard that it works.
