Pumpkin supports and maintains proper digestive and normal bowel function in pets. HOW? Well let us tell you… Loose stool is a lack of water absorption in the colon. Pumpkin directly aids in forming solid stool and slows down digestion and the passage of waste… creating more time for the body to absorb the water it needs to form a solid stool. On the other hand, when there is too much water re-absorbing into the body due to the slow passage of waste matter through the colon, the result is dry and difficult to pass stools. Pumpkin keeps some of this water from being re-absorbed by the colon, giving the colon the fluids needed for those hard to pass stools.
