We’re aware that feeding our pups real foods offers numerous benefits, but did you know these foods can also naturally deworm them? Ingredients like coconut oil, carrots, apples, ground pumpkin seeds, apple cider vinegar, and bananas help deworm without the side effects associated with medications—and they come with a host of other health benefits as well!
🥥 Coconut oil--> Dog's bodies will convert the lauric acid, in coconut oil, to monolaurin, which is known to be effective against tapeworm, giardia, & other parasites.
🐾Ground pumpkin seeds--> Ground pumpkin seeds are considered a natural dewormer for dogs due to the presence of an amino acid called cucurbitacin. Cucurbitacin paralyzes parasites like tapeworms and roundworms, making it easier for the dog’s digestive system to expel them. The seeds are ground to ensure they can be easily digested and absorbed, maximizing their effectiveness.
-I grind mine in a coffee grinder & store in the bag they came in. They will keep on a shelf for months, but they can also be kept in the refrigerator.

🐾Apple cider vinegar--> ACV can be an effective natural treatment for worms in dogs because it can make the intestinal environment inhospitable for parasites. The enzymes in ACV can weaken the coating of worms, causing them to lose their grip on the intestinal wall. ACV also increases the alkaline levels in the intestines and raises good bacteria in the gut, which can't support parasites or worms.
