Pumpkin flavored treats are popular with humans, especially during the fall. But many of them aren't safe for dogs because they contain too much fat, which can cause pancreatitis, xylitol, which is toxic to dogs, or they have too many non-healthy calories, which can fill your dog up and leave him not hungry enough to ingest his more nutrient-rich dog food.
