Nuts & Seeds
Nuts and Seeds Which Are Good for Your Cats and Dogs
The following nuts and seeds are a fabulous source of nutrients ground together and fed as a snack for cats and dogs and potentially horses with the exception being flax seeds for cats.
Flax seeds are not coming up good for the felines at all via dowsing.
A batch of mixed nuts and seeds may be prepared and kept in the fridge maximum a week provided a few teaspoons a week depending on the size of the animal of course. Sprinkled on some fruit for a snack is lovely or other food is fine too.

Chestnuts, When In Season
These are a fabulous snack going into the Winter months for dogs. My dogs would snack on them outside with great glee! I would purchase bags of them from the local market. It is best to always feed your animals in accordance with what the geographic region grows.
Mold and Plastics
A lot of food is transported and packaged in plastics. Plastics in the carbon-based body from my work provides an environment for yeast and fungus to grow. So, the goal is to not buy food in plastic.
If this is not an option where you live, then please empty into a glass container, and Golden Age a few times so all plastics are removed with the nutrients restored.
How the nuts and seeds are harvested may support mold. Therefore, it is very important to use one’s nose, one’s sense of smell, and discernment when purchasing. Also, please do not use the following products known to carry mold below.
Do Not Feed
The following products do not feed to your animals:
- Chia seeds
- Hemp seeds
- Macadamia Nuts
- Nut butters
- Peanuts, and all peanut products
- Pistachio nuts
Hemp seeds are sold in plastic, and they tend to contain mold I find; I can smell it. So, I suggest one stays well way from these.
However, I am a big fan of hemp seed oil, cold pressed, organic and refrigerated. The animals love to self-medicate with this especially the dogs and horses. It is never added to their food; it is always to be self-selected.
Macadamia nuts, these are not natural to the species and could cause harm.
Peanut products and all nut butters never feed your animal as how they are collected and produced; they usually contain mold. These may be the underlying cause of itching and scratching which is being diagnosed as “allergies” with leaky gut being the issue if any of these products are being fed to your animal.
I am not a fan of chia seeds as I feel they cause constipation, block the system from running, raw or cooked I would not feed this product to your animal.
Storage and Preparation
Ideally, nuts and seeds should be stored in the freezer to maintain freshness. Preparation of both is addressed in this link below.
