No reason he has to eat it. Just a couple of pounds overweight and I see lots of post about digs eating this. So I guess I just thought he NEEDED it. Will try all your suggestions. Thanks fir your help.

I don't know about dogs, but I mix a bit with canned cat food for 2 of my cats. Third one won't eat it. I started giving it to my male because he had such bad diarrea. My mom heard about it on the news. Anyhow, after a couple weeks, it cleared up. I've been feeding them pumpkin for about 7 or 8 years now.

@D Kay It keeps a male's an-l glands clean. If one has a dog groomed once a month, that is done at the groomer's, but I bathe mine, so I don't have to deal with them as long as he eats the yams/sweet potatoes, and he has been since a year old.

If he's a couple of pounds overweight you can replace up to 1/2 of his food with green beans. I don't think pumpkin helps them lose weight it just helps them with their poop.

@gillsburg I just put the cannd pumpkin on a spoon and my black lab just eats up the canned pumpkin. I suppose just like people, dogs also have taste buds and do not like some foods. Unless you can disguise it in some other yummy food... you may not be able to get him to eat it. They do sell dog chewable that contain pumpkin so you may look into those.. they might be able to mask the flavor better of the pumpkin in the blend. Here is on sold at petco that has turkey added and other things to make it taste better.
