can dogs eat raw pumpkin guts

Direct answer: Yes, dogs can eat pumpkin guts in moderation, but there are important cautions. The fleshy inside (the guts) is generally safe and can aid digestion due to its fiber, but raw pumpkin can be harder to digest for some dogs and may raise the risk of choking or gastrointestinal upset. Seeds should be handled carefully (roasted and unsalted if given, or avoided altogether) to reduce gastrointestinal or jaw-related issues. Always ensure freshness—rotten pumpkin or pumpkin with stems/skin can cause problems. Avoid pumpkin products with added sugars, salt, spices, nutmeg, or xylitol, which are toxic to dogs. If uncertain, consult your veterinarian for personalized guidance based on your dog's size, health, and dietary needs.
