1 tsp per 10lb weight in dogs, probably going to cost more than an effective paste?

There's quite a lot on the internet about pumpkin seeds for dogs, cats and in particular chickens as a wormer. Apparently they have a coating that paralyzes the worms?
I would imagine though, as with Diatom, that you would need to add to the feed on a very regular basis which could work out quite pricey. Great idea if it treats all worms but is it only good for tape worm and roundworm ?.
