Pumpkin Seed Meal: A Superfood Ingredient for Pet Nutrition

As pet owners become more ingredient-conscious, there’s a growing demand for clean-label, functional ingredients that support animal health. One such rising star is pumpkin seed meal—a byproduct of cold-pressed pumpkin oil that delivers powerful nutrition in a natural, sustainable form.

Nutrient-Rich & Highly Digestible
Pumpkin seed meal is rich in plant-based protein, essential fatty acids, fiber, and minerals like magnesium and zinc. It’s an excellent alternative to common protein meals and serves as a functional component in both dog and cat food. Its digestibility and palatability make it easy to include in kibble, toppers, treats, or wet formulas.

Natural Support for Digestive and Immune Health
The high fiber content aids in digestion and promotes gut regularity, while antioxidants and healthy fats support skin, coat, and immune function. Pumpkin seed meal is also naturally low in anti-nutrients and free from common allergens like soy or corn—making it ideal for hypoallergenic or limited-ingredient diets.

Sustainable & Versatile
Sourced from cold-pressed seeds, pumpkin seed meal is a sustainable ingredient that repurposes the byproduct of oil extraction. It can be used in grain-free, gluten-free, and plant-forward formulations—meeting market demand for eco-conscious and innovative pet food solutions.
