3 Reasons Why We Are Loving Seaweed

We’re adding seaweed to our dog’s food, and here is why you should do the same. 

Say goodbye to dog breath. Sprinkle on food, add to a licky mat, or mix in with a pup cup, seaweed helps maintain natural gut balance for dogs. Something that was once reserved for ancient medicines, the health benefits of seaweed in our diet is now widely reported in (human) wellness circles, and, more and more, dog owners are discovering that the same can be said for our canine companions. Rich in natural minerals and gut-loving properties, we’ve started to add it to our dog’s pup-cups, kibble, and treat bag. 

1. AIDS DIGESTION AND IMPROVES GUT HEALTH

Seaweed contains natural fibres and prebiotic compounds that support a healthy gut. This is great for doggy-digestion and helps to maintain regular bowel movements for a happier more comfortable dog.

2. PROVIDES ESSENTIAL VITAMINS & MINERALS

Packed full with naturally occurring iodine, calcium, magnesium and iron, the vitamins and minerals found in seaweed help support your dog’s overall health. Iodine is known to create an environment for healthy thyroid function, regulating your dog's metabolism, and energy levels.

3. REDUCES PLAQUE BUILD-UP FOR FRESHER BREATH

Here’s one of the best bits, seaweed naturally reduces plaque and tartar build-up in dogs for a cleaner, fresher breath. Sprinkle over food for a simple, low-effort way to improve dental hygiene alongside regular brushing.
