Can my dog eat Acorn squash or Pepper squash? 
Acorn squash, also known as pepper squash, is a winter vegetable. You’ll know this fruit by its green exterior—it has long ridges from the top of the veggie to the bottom. The inside contains yellow flesh that’s a bit sweet. This is mainly grown in North and Central America, though it’s also become popular in Europe.
Dogs can eat acorn squash, but it should be cooked before they eat it. Cooking makes this veggie easier for dogs to digest. Also, be sure to remove the skin and the seeds, as these are poisonous for dogs.

Personally, I love the acorn squash myself and when I learned my dog could eat it too, it became our favorite. We eat it regularly and I hope that’s okay? It’s really tasty, I must say.
Yeah, this may be a tasty food with the sweet inside yellow flesh, but we should feed our pet with caution. Even humans should eat with caution because too much of everything is bad. While I may not have seen any dog fall sick from eating the acorn squash, I’ll still say it should be eaten moderately while mixing up with other varieties of foods.
I love to cook almost all my meals with my ginger and I also mix it with my dog’s food as well but I noticed that he mostly stools when he eats those meals and I didn’t pay much attention to it since I do same when I eat a lot of ginger, more like it has a laxative effect on me. I’ll definitely have to reduce the quantity of ginger I put in his food.
Dogs can eat acorn squash, yes. Cooking it should be without skin and seed until it’s very tender especially for puppies as they may not be able to properly digest it which can be an entirely different problem.
