Can my dog eat Yellow Squash? 
Yellow squash is sometimes confused with zucchini, but they’re two separate veggies. For one thing, yellow squash is yellow, and has a tapered neck with a fat bottom. This yummy summer squash can be boiled, baked, grilled and more. You can even enjoy it raw. It’s also packed with nutrients including vitamin C, B vitamins, folate, beta carotene, manganese and more.
Can my dog eat yellow squash? Can my puppy eat yellow squash? Yes! Squash is a very healthy food to add to your fur baby’s diet. It’s important to first remove the skin and seeds, as these are not edible, and if swallowed, they could cause an intestinal blockage. Then cut it into bite-sized pieces and cook it. Avoid adding any other ingredients, such as salt or onions, as these can be toxic to your pet. Once the yellow squash is cooked, you can then mash it or serve the pieces by adding them to your dog’s regular dog food. What if my dog ate too much squash? He could develop an upset stomach and possible diarrhea. So, it’s best to serve squash as an occasional treat and in small portions when feeding it to your pup.

I agree that your puppy could develop an upset stomach and even diarrhea when fed too much yellow squash. I remembered a day my daughter visited and was playing with him. She kept giving it lots and lots of yellow squash in the name of treats, and before I got back, we already had a stooling puppy in our hands. So, I think it’s better to just serve squash as an occasional treat and in very small portions when feeding it to your puppy.
I can’t really emphasize how important it is for one to first remove the skin and seeds of the squash before feeding one’s pup. These things are totally not in any way edible, and can cause a problem for your pup which of course, is not going to be a funny scenario.
Wow. Thanks for pointing this out. I want to start giving my puppy this yellow squash as I’ve been hearing that it is very nutritious and healthy for them. I didn’t really know how to go about it though. With these tips, I’m sure I know what to do now!
