Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons pumpkin, sunflower and flaxseeds

- Serve only seeds without any added salt or seasonings.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon (medium/large sized dogs) and half a teaspoon (smaller dogs) of ground seeds over your dog's regular food daily to enhance its nutritional value. Supplement will stay fresh for up to 3 months once stored in an airtight container.
Notes & tips
Storage
Once ground, store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. The supplement stays fresh for up to 3 months, making it ideal for batch-prepping a natural daily dog health supplement in advance.
Why grind the seeds?
Whole seeds can pass through a dog's digestive system without being fully broken down. Grinding them first unlocks the full nutritional benefit, including the omega-3s, zinc, and anthelmintic compounds, making this a far more effective homemade dog digestive supplement.
Pumpkin seeds as a natural dewormer for dogs
Pumpkin seeds contain cucurbitin, an amino acid that research suggests may help expel intestinal worms. While not a replacement for veterinary treatment, they are a popular natural dewormer for dogs and a safe, additive-free addition to your pet's routine.
Flaxseeds for dog coat health
Flaxseeds are one of the richest plant-based sources of omega-3 fatty acids, widely recommended for improving dry, dull, or itchy dog coats. A great natural alternative to fish oil supplements for dogs.
Important
Always use plain, unsalted, and unseasoned seeds. If your dog has an existing health condition or is on medication, consult your vet before introducing any new supplement to their diet.
