Pumpkin seed oil is not only delicious, but it also has a positive effect on health. What is well-known among many "two leggers", also applies to our four-legs-friends. Pumpkin Seed Oil has more positive effects to dogs than most other oils.
The high-quality Styrian pumpkin seed oil is especially outstanding. This noble oil is pressed from the seeds of the shelf-less Styrian Oil Pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo var. Styriaca). These seeds do not have a woody shell, but only a fine silvery skin, which is relatively easy to remove. The pumpkin seeds are washed, dried and ground. The mass is roasted then to separate the oil and the proteins, and is being cold-pressed afterwards.
