    My dog goes nuts for pumpkin puree, but hates greenies, so I dunno

        That’s because it would more accurately be called pumpkin pie spice, since it’s based on the spices that go into a pumpkin pie. I guess it’s just too many words for the general public to comprehend.

          Nah, I bought some frosted mini wheats that were labeled pumpkin pie spice.

          But also I’m pretty sure pumpkin spice Cheerios contain pumpkin.

          Do they? They don’t say they do on the outside of the bag. Admittedly, I didn’t look at the ingredients.

          Edit: Looks like dried pumpkin is an ingredient, but it’s pretty far down the list. I’m guessing it’s not going to be a big flavor enhancer for a dog since they don’t exactly have sophisticated taste buds anyway.

            I’m guessing the pumpkin spice isn’t too strong either, but dried pumpkin is the first “flavorful” ingredient, at least.

              I’m guessing the whole thing is entirely for the owners and if dogs could tell you what it tasted like, they’d probably say, “delicious wheat gluten!”
