Not too sure about the seeds, but the meat of the pumpkin is a great source of fiber for dogs!

I wouldn't, but if you did and he is alright then no biggie. Dogs should not be given human food anyway. It shortens their lifespand and could give them health problems as they get older. Also, small items such as seeds can be tricky as they can possibly choke. Dogs are a lot like little kids when it comes to certain things, so when it comes to caution use that as a rule.

Make sure your dog does not choke on them, especially if it is a small dog, and the salt in the seeds may be too much for a dog

Sometimes dogs eat grass when they aren't feeling well. The grass irritates their stomach lining and usually causes them to vomit. This way they can sometimes clear their system of whatever is making them ill. However, there are dogs that seem to eat grass like salad with no ill effects. But, I would NEVER offer grass to my dog for him to eat.

My dog loves pumpkin. I haven't given her any seeds but I can't imagine they are that terrible. Ask your vet if you are really concerned.

I wouldn't recommend it. Some types of seeds are poisonous to dogs, such as apple seeds.

I would check the ASPCA web site they have a whole list of things dogs should not eat. www.aspca.org

my dog eats them and hes just fine, i boil them first tho so theres less salt in them, if he accidntly got into them i wouldnt worry to much about it unless hes allergic to them, sounds nuts but animals have allergies just like people!
