Pumpkin is great for hardening soft stools, and also relieving constipation. I always use it when introducing a new food, but I still switch over slowly (over about a week w/pumpkin). I also give pumpkin any time my dogs have a loose stool, its really a miracle food.
Please note this is referring to real canned (or fresh) pumpkin, NOT pumpkin pie filling!
