Parasite Control: Pumpkin seeds contain an amino acid called cucurbitacin, which is believed to help expel parasites like worms from the digestive tract.

Serving Amount:

Medium Dogs: 1 teaspoon of ground pumpkin seeds per day.
Large Dogs: 1 tablespoon of ground pumpkin seeds per day.
 
Tips:
Ground the seeds: It's best to grind the seeds before serving, as whole seeds may be difficult for dogs to digest and could pose a choking hazard.
Moderation is key: While pumpkin seeds are nutritious, they are high in fat and calories, so avoid overfeeding.
Avoid seasoning: Only serve plain, unsalted, and raw or roasted seeds—no added seasoning or spices, which can be harmful to dogs.
 
As always, introduce new foods slowly and consult your vet for personalized advice.
