I’ve been Feeling 100% canned pumpkin for Simon soft stool when needed. Most sites sayv a pumpkin is good for dogs. The whole dog.com says it’s a definite no. I’m a bit confused.
Perhaps they mean canned pumpkin pie mix? We have never been told by a vet that pumpkin is bad. See:

Rocky had his right front leg amputated on Valentine's Day 2017 after being diagnosed with osteosarcoma.
He joined the September Saints on September 3, 2017.
