Organic Pumpkin and Sunflower Seeds

Pumpkin and sunflower seeds offer dogs nutritional boosts like healthy fats, fiber, and essential minerals. They support healthy skin, coats, and joint mobility.

Benefits of Sunflower and Pumpkin seeds:

• Linoleic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid) and vitamin E help promote a shiny, healthy coat and repair dry skin
• High antioxidant levels in vitamin E reduce cell damage from oxidative stress and lower inflammation
• Magnesium, selenium, and copper aid regular heart function, blood pressure, and immune health
• The dietary fibre in pumpkin seeds helps bulk up stools, aiding dogs with mild diarrhoea and promoting regular bowel movements
• Pumpkin seeds contain cucurbitin, an amino acid that holistic veterinarians sometimes use as a mild, natural adjunct to help paralyse and expel intestinal parasites

However

Too many sunflower seeds can cause digestive issues, weight gain, or even an intestinal blockage in smaller dogs (especially if they’re in their shells), so portion control and safe prep are essential.

Grinding the seeds is highly recommended to make them easier to digest.

When looking for a supplement, always do your research and consider consulting your veterinarian.

Ensure fresh drinking water is always available.
