Share
Pumpkin shows up across the Dog Food Library, a compiled set of manufacturer-published details for 958 dog foods sold in the United States.

What Pumpkin Is on a Label
Pumpkin is a squash. Recipes list it as whole pumpkin, pumpkin puree, or dried pumpkin, and the ingredient shows up in both dry kibble and wet or fresh formulas.
How Many of the 958 Foods List Pumpkin
212 of the 958 foods in the Dog Food Library list pumpkin in their ingredient panel, as compiled from each manufacturer's own product page. Of those 212 foods, 7 list pumpkin among the first five ingredients on the label, and the remaining 205 list it later in the panel. Ingredient order on these labels follows pre-cooking weight, so a fresh or wet ingredient can rank higher than a dried one that contributes more to the finished recipe.
