My dog is extremely interested in the pumpkins we just carved and put on the doorstep. I don’t know if it’s because they’re “new” or if he wants to eat them. I’m a little worried he might try to eat them when I’m not paying attention. If he were to start eating the pumpkins, would he be ok or are they toxic to dogs? I really don’t want to throw away my kids’ Halloween decorations, but I don’t want to risk my dog getting hurt either.

Pumpkins are safe food for dogs, and we even give canned pumpkins to our dogs when they have digestive issues to settle their tummies. But you obviously don’t want your dog to eat the Jack-O-Lantern you worked so hard on, nor should he eat it once it starts decomposing. To learn more about the topic, read our article about Pumpkin Safety for Dog. And, to discourage him from messing with your pumpkin, you might consider a dog-safe deterrent.
