Mix the seeds with water

Mix the psyllium husks with a sufficient amount of water. A good rule of thumb is to use about 1 g of psyllium husks per 5 kg of body weight and mix them with 20-30 ml of water per gram.

Stir carefully

Stir the mixture thoroughly to avoid lumps. A whisk can help with this.

Sources

Allow the mixture to soak for at least 15 to 20 minutes. It should take on a gel-like consistency.

Mix into the feed

Thoroughly mix the soaked mixture into your dog's food. Start slowly: Begin with a small amount and gradually increase it over several days to avoid overwhelming your dog's digestive system and preventing bloating.

Important NOTE!

Never feed dry psyllium husks. They can swell considerably in a dog's stomach. If they are not soaked beforehand, they can draw water from the intestines and cause constipation.
