PUMPKIN BENEFITS FOR DOG
Pumpkins and pumpkin seeds are healthy foods for humans, and they also have several known health benefits for dogs. Dogs can safely eat pumpkin seeds as well as cooked or raw pumpkin. It is always best to check with your veterinarian to determine a healthy percentage of pumpkin as an addition to your dog’s diet.
Plain canned pumpkin is a healthy and convenient option, provided you only use 100 percent canned pumpkin purée. Do not feed your dog canned pumpkin pie filling, as this product includes unhealthy sugar and sodium. Purchase only raw, unsalted pumpkin seeds for your dog. When it comes to pumpkin seed you will want to discuss the quantity with your veterinarian, which is typically based on your dog’s weight.
Most dogs like the taste of plain pumpkin, and will happily eat it alone or mixed into their regular food. Many dogs enjoy pumpkin seeds as snacks, but these can also be ground and added to food if your dog is reluctant to eat them alone.
The following benefits will convince you to make pumpkin and pumpkin seeds a regular part of your dog’s diet.
NATURAL REMEDY FOR WORMS AND PARASITES
Pumpkin seeds contain the amino acid cucurbitin, which works to paralyze and eliminate parasites from your dog’s digestive tract. Feed the seeds whole, or grind and add to food. Give your dog one-quarter teaspoon per ten pounds of body weight once or twice daily until the worms are gone. Using pumpkin seeds instead of veterinary de-wormer will allow you to avoid dosing concerns and side effects such as diarrhoea, vomiting or allergic reaction. Pumpkin seeds are a safe de-wormer and also provide quality protein, amino acids and many nutrients.
