Found this while looking around to see if Butternut Squash is safe for dogs to eat. If you do cook for your pet and have tons of squash, these all sound good! I'd even try some! I think I will dry some for treats.

Yes, it is also good for the cat. Once I purchased some canned food with butternut squash added to it so now that I make her food I have added to it whenever I have some left over like I do right now from making several pumpkin(really squash) breads for the family for this weekend. It did take her a while to get used to it but she eats it readily now.

Have a great gardening day! hoe, hoe, hoe Pea Upstate NY, zone 5

I was looking into home made dog food 8 yrs ago for my sister. all I could find at the time was give your dog a whole chicken on a plastic table cloth on the floor and let him eat it...
pfft, whatever

I like this website! reminds me of the one I used for cat food.
