Learn all about the zillion benefits of this sacred oil - black seed oil, for dogs. Learn how it can help dogs with cancer, & much more! Black seed oil has taken the world by storm - literally! Even those who believe in pharma drugs can't help but be amazed at the benefits of this sacred oil and its miraculous healing power! From research trials to exponential sky-rocketing sale of the black seed oil, it is the right time to notice what all it can do for our furry pals - our dogs. In this article, let's explore what black seed oil can do for our dogs. But first, some fun fact - Prophet Muhammad called black seed oil a "blessed oil!" and for really good reasons. Makes sense when it can cure just about everything except death - as Prophet Muhammad said about this oil. History of the "Blessed seed" or Nigella Sativa - Black seeds have a long history - they have been used since ancient times in Egypt and Turkey, going back as much as 2nd millennium BCE. The Nigella sativa seeds were found in ancient Egypt including in Tutankhamum's tomb. The oldest people said to cultivate this blessed seed are Assyrians and Egyptians. It is used a lot in Indian, Middle Eastern, Armenian, Turkish, Polish, and more cuisines. It grows mainly in south and southwest Asia. It is also called black cumin seed, black caraway, fennel flower, Roman coriander and Kalonji in Hindi & Urdu. Nigella Sativa - The "Blessed Seed" in Religious Texts - Black seeds have been mentioned in the Torah, in the Bible and the Hadith. Here is a famous quote by Prophet Muhammad regarding this miracle seed - "Use this black seed regularly, because it has a cure for every disease except death.” Chemistry of Nigella Sativa - Directly from Wikipedia - N. sativa oil contains linoleic acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid, and trans-anethole, and other minor constituents. Aromatics include thymoquinone, dihydrothymoquinone, p-cymene, carvacrol, α-thujene, thymol, α-pinene, β-pinene and trans-anethole. Oils are 32% to 40% of the total composition of N. sativa seeds. Why does Black Seed Oil work so well? The reason it is so powerful is because of its thymoquinone content and add to it, its high nutrient and amino acid profile, it works fast to lower inflammation and cure any disease. Benefits of Black Seed Oil for Dogs - Cancer - Black seed oil works great for dogs with cancer because it boosts immunity and at the same time, helps block cancer cell growth and induce apoptosis (programmed cell death). This oil can also be applied directly on the dog's cancer areas or tumor site as it may help in shrinking the tumor via skin absorption. Boosts Dog's Immunity & Helps with Allergies - Black seed oil helps in boosting your dog's immunity and this fact goes hand in hand with the zillion cures it offers and the health benefits. Black seed oil helps neutralize the histamines - making it a perfect addition to your dog's diet for combating allergies. If your dog has allergies, and issues like hair loss, excessive mucus, drooling, itchy eyes, teary eyes, ear infections, etc., then try giving some black seed oil daily and you will see a huge improvement in your dog's allergies and overall health. Helps Dogs with Arthritis, Hind-Legs Stiffness, Rheumatism & Other Inflammatory Conditions - Black seed oil have thymoquinone which helps in reducing inflammation. Test tube studies as well as human studies have found the same result - that N. sativa helps in inhibiting inflammation fast and thus, helps in reducing pain. This is powerful information for those who have senior dogs, dogs with cancer, or dogs who have been in some accident and are in the recovery phase. Massaging the dog with warm black seed oil can be very beneficial, soothing and will heal the tissue and muscle damage very fast. For Dogs with Digestive Issues - Adding a little bit of black seed oil to your dog's diet will help avoid digestive upsets like bloating, gas, constipation and weak elimination. Helps Dogs with Proper Elimination - This oil is a great aid for keeping things 'regular' in the bathroom - thus helping in proper elimination of toxic waste. Similarly, just like for us, it is a great aid for dogs too. Remember, without proper elimination, your dog's body is the breeding ground for diseases like cancer, yeast infections, IBS/IBD, allergies, fever, itchy skin, ear infections, and well, just about every disease you can think of. Toxic waste needs to come out and if you need to, add a teaspoon or two to your dog's diet and see if the dog is eliminating better. If not, adjust the amount and go from there. Helps Dogs with Healthy Skin & Coat - Your doggie friend not getting compliments these days? Black seed oil is anti-inflammatory and rich in nutrients, hence it will help with great skin and coat for your dog. It also helps in reducing dryness, itchiness, dry flaky skin, redness, eczema, etc. for your furry pal. Simply mix some black seed oil with some other oil of your choice like organic coconut oil and apply on your dog's skin or undercoat. Comb the dog's coat afterwards and see the difference. Keeps Fleas & Ticks Away from Dogs - Due to its spiciness and the smell, fleas, mosquitoes and ticks are naturally kept at bay from your dear dog. This oil can be a wonderful alternative to your dog care regimen instead of the cancer causing chemical flea and tick products. So, not only does it protect from cancer, boosts immunity, beautifies the dog's coat and skin, but also helps with fleas and ticks? That's a win-win! No brainer for sure! Dogs with Epilepsy or Seizures - Black seed oil is very beneficial for dogs that are prone to epilepsy or even for those who have 'disturbed mind' as I call it. If your dog is prone to seizures or epilepsy, then you must start giving black seed oil to your dog right away. Note about taste & smell of black seed oil for dogs:- Do note that giving black seed oil to your dog might require some creativity on your part - your dog may not like the taste or the pungent smell. You can try mixing some with a little bit of pumpkin puree, organic peanut butter or home-cooked delicious meals. My dogs have NO problem taking it or any other oil or herbs for that matter since I mix them with their veggies and since they love vegetables, they gallop whatever else I mix in them. Where to Buy? You can easily find black seed oil in any health food store these days, as well as your local Indian, Pakistani, Middle-Eastern or Arabic stores. You can also find it online, though it will be much pricier and not necessarily better. Remember, black seed oil is highly revered in these cultures (the ones listed here) and that is where it started from - so you will definitely get a very authentic, pure product from any of these stores, though may not be organic. Another note I want to add is that do not waste your money buying 'black seed oil for dogs or pets.' Buy as you would for yourself - you get better value for your money and better quality as well, and use that for your dog. Selling 'black seed oil for dogs' is just a commercial gimmick that is overpriced and comes with much less liability to the seller, as opposed to one that is selling for humans. Black seed oil is black seed oil - there is NO difference between one that you should take and one that your dog needs. A Special Note for Dogs with Cancer - IF your dog has cancer or even any benign tumor, then start massaging this sacred oil mixed with some essential oils that are safe for dogs, like Frankincense or Myrrh or Lavender or Chamomile, to induce apoptosis (death of a cell) fast and to possibly hope that the cancer or your dog's tumor won't grow anymore. Ref (1). Ref (2). Ref (3) Until next article, -Somyata. NOTE - I will NOT answer any questions on this article on TGR website.

Hi - I would say, for dogs under 10 lbs. you can give about 1/2 teaspoon daily. For 10 to 20 lbs, 1 teaspoon, per day, divided in 2 doses is great! And so on...This is a very natural, safe oil for dogs, so don't be scared if you give little extra.

My dog was just diagnosed with congestive heart failure - heart is slightly enlarged and some fluid around heart and lungs. Additionally she has a tumor - believe it is in the spleen, not sure if it's malignant or benign. I started her on black seed cumin oil a week ago. I have also been making her food - boiled organic chicken breast with organic chicken broth, brown rice, turmeric, beet powder and I sprinkle organic pumpkin powder on her food. I have been putting 10-15 drops of the black seed cumin oil in her food. What other measures can I take to help her?

Black seed oil is very safe - I write the dosage as my dogs take it and have never had any issues. I am Indian - these are the things we just grow up with. We don't 'ask vets' - we just know Nature and know intuitively what to give and when. We also don't feed any kibble to our dogs in India - they actually eat homemade vegetarian diet, until now when kibble came to India and some people changed - hence the rise in cancers in dogs.

Dear Somyata, I want to use black seed oil for my dog. I think he has allergies, and he is scratching himself constantly all over his entire body. I can't take him to the Vet because I can't afford it. So, I thought I would ask you what I can do to help him with the problems' he is going through since you said you use black seed oil for your dogs. He is so unhappy now and I am hurt and sad to not be able to help him out. I want to use black seed oil orally and, on his sores, and where he is scratching his hair out and making hairless spots on his body which looks horrible. Like a disease he has gotten is what it looks like doing it with his paws and teeth. Also, I don't have a small dog. I have a Rottweiler that weights 140 lbs. I don't know how many teaspoons or tablespoons to use to put on his sores, where his hair spots are that he scratched off he scratched off or how much to mix with his food. Can you help me with my Rottweiler please. I need suggestions from you how to use black seed oil for him. I am so worried about him. He is so unhappy, and he looks at me as though to say, ":help me please ". And I look at him and tell him that I am going to do the best I can to solve what you are going through. I am hapless at this time. I have some black seed oil and I don't' know how much I should use on him for everything he is going through as I speak. You said it was safe for your dogs. So, I need some advice from you to help me save him and get rid of these problems with his scratching and biting on himself'. making sores and scratching his hair off. It would be highly appreciated to hear back from you. Thank you for your time and for reading my comment. Hope to hear back from you soon. Thank you for your time. Take care. Sincerely, Ms. Wade (8-22-2023)

Karen, thank you for this info. I've had my 13-years-young Border Terrier, Angus, on it for approx. 6 wks, but he has developed loose, glossy stools and is "going" during the night, almost every night. I'm going to take him off the oil for a while and see if that helps. May need to get a vet to test his stool.

Hello Janice - Yes, that should be enough UNLESS you are giving for a specific reason. What is the reason you are giving to your dog? Is it cancer, obesity, arthritis, etc.? So, it depends...But otherwise, if your dog is healthy and you are using as a preventive, then, yes - that is enough.

Hi Helen - So for turmeric, you would take like some boiled sweet potatoes for your dog, and when they are done, and slightly warm, add a spoon of org. coconut oil and turmeric. Mix and let sit for few mins, and then serve to your dog with his food. Add just few drops of black seed oil.

I have a question, my 9yr old 11lb maltese just had surgery to remove a mass cell tumor from under his penis. When the surgeon removed the tumor, he had to remove the complete sheath on his penis which is now totally exposed. Surgeon said his penis will always be exposed. Will it eventually not be so sensitive. I put sterile lubricant on it, he gets aggressive with me. Will black seed oil help him, and anything else that can help him?

Hi Somiata, i just find your website . I was told that my dog is in the advanced stage of cancer, and not much can be don with it. I thought of black seed oil which I used to expel a polyp from my intestines. Today I started applying the oil on his skin . He is still about 50 lb, lost about 30 during the last 12 to 18 months. I used one tea spoon , which is recomended dose for humans. If you have any other suggestion, please let me know. Thank you so much for your post.

Does black seed oil help dissolve calcium oxalate stones? My dog has them and I just spent nearly $4000 to get them removed from his bladder but the vet said he has more in his kidneys.
