Natural Dog De-Wormers

Pumpkin seeds and coconut oil both have a real mechanism worth knowing about — neither is a substitute for a confirmed dewormer.

Applies to Everything Below

Frame both of these as supportive/traditional measures, not proven deworming treatment — a real infestation needs a vet-confirmed dewormer, not a home remedy alone.

Pumpkin seeds

Traditional/folk anthelmintic support — cucurbitacin has some limited animal-study backing as a mild anthelmintic.

Dose

Grind raw pumpkin seeds into powder, 1 tsp per 10 lbs of body weight, for several days.

Coconut oil

General wellness support, not deworming — lauric acid's antimicrobial properties are documented in a lab dish, but 'fights parasites in a live dog' isn't veterinary-established.

Dose

Add 1/2 to 1 tsp of coconut oil or coconut flakes to food daily.
