Can cats eat pumpkin powder too?Updated 5 days ago

Yes — cats can safely take pumpkin powder, and many benefit from it just as much as dogs. The main reason is fibre: cats often struggle with constipation, hairballs, or irregular stools, and pumpkin provides a natural, gentle solution.

Benefits for cats:

• Digestive balance: Helps firm up loose stools or ease constipation, depending on what your cat needs.
• Hairball help: Added fibre keeps the digestive tract moving, which can reduce hairball build-up.
• Weight support: Fibre can help your cat feel fuller, making it easier to manage their weight.
• Anal gland health: Just like in dogs, firmer stools can help with anal gland expression.

Serving guide for cats:

• Just a tiny amount — ½ tsp per day.
• Mix into wet food, broth, or goat’s milk for easier feeding.
• Start with less if your cat is picky, then build up slowly.

When to be cautious:

• Stick to the small serving size — cats are more sensitive to fibre than dogs.
• If your cat has ongoing digestive problems, check with your vet to rule out underlying conditions.
• Introduce gradually, as some cats are cautious about new tastes or textures.
