You have to be careful that it's pure pumpkin and not the kind that goes in pumpkin pie!
It also can have the exact opposite effect if fed too much, so it's a guessing game to find the correct amount! 
It's for relieving diarrhoea? If so, toss the pumpkin seeds out for the birds and get some actual pumpkin 
There is no need for it to come in a can - fresh pureed pumpkin will have exactly the same effect. Just buy a pumpkin or squash at the supermarket, take it home and put the flesh into a blender. Then you have pureed pumpkin, identical to that which comes in a can.
Pumpkin is one of those handy vegetables that can be used for both firming or loosening stools - it all depends on doesage as to which effect you get (note: this doesn't apply to diarrhoea caused by protozoa or other bugs, just to general upset tummy/digestive system). 1 tablespoon daily will firm up stools, 2+ will loosen them (handy to know should you ever have a dog with constipation).
