We use this for our dogs. Just a small amount helps anal glands and gas.

We give this to our cats and dogs to prevent and kill parasites. Works great.

Tasty, nutritious, goes great in Oatmeal

I have been ordering Gerb's Pumpkin Seed Meal for about two years now and I love it! It is a great tasting plant-based protein powder that easily mixes in with smoothies. My other favorite company to get Pumpkin Seed Powder from is Sprout Living, so for the rest of this review, that is the main product I am comparing this against.

This product has a much Stronger taste than that of Sprout Living, and to me almost tastes a little like peanut butter. It is also thicker and less thinly ground, so it doesn't mix as well into things like banana ice cream. However, as I said before it adds more of a flavor than you get when using a product like Sprout Living, but it isn't so strong that it is over powering, or even very noticeable when mixed into a smoothie with many ingredients.

Gerb's pumpkin seed powder comes in a much bigger quantity for a similar price, but that is most likely because you need to use twice as much of it to get the same amount of protein. This is probably due to the fact that it is much less finely ground, or processed. This product used to come in one big bag (which I preferred) but lately have been coming in one big ziplock-style bag, with two smaller ones enclosed. This makes for easier storage in the refrigerator, but is annoying because the label and Daily Value amounts are only printed on the larger outside bag.

One other frustrating thing about this product is that it doesn't come with a scoop (as opposed to Sprout Living which has one in every bag). While I acknowledge that this is most likely better for the environment, the use of three bags in the packaging of this product instead of one, makes me think that being environmentally friendly was not the aim of the company/manufacturer.

All of that being said, I really do like this product and this company. I have read some negative reviews on a few of their other products, and just want to put it out there that I have never found anything gross in any of my products from Gerb's. And I have never had any trouble with receiving my products on time or intact.

I bought this as a natural additive to put in my outdoor cats' wet food hoping that it would work to eliminate an internal parasite issue but it wasn't effective. I knew within two weeks that it didn't work, but that's not a strike against the product or the seller. It was never guaranteed that it would work but it was worth a shot. I can say though that my cats had no issue with this in their food and ate it up. As for the internal parasites (likely roundworm), I went back to using a product called Wrm Clear and have seen great results from it.
