Organic Norwegian Kelp for Pets, a Valuable Nutrition Source Rich in Iodine to Support Gland Function, Especially The Thyroid (12 Ounce)

We love this! My dogs fur has thickened up so much!

My dog’s teeth always look good when we use this product consistently. He doesn’t seem to mind the taste either.

I’ve been buying kelp for my dogs’ teeth and skin/ coat for years. I used to buy the 5 lbs which was a great buy, but I couldn’t find it anymore. This is the next to best buy after the 5 lbs. My dogs love this, they go crazy when I open the bottle. I put this on their food and they’ve never turned it down. I feel this helps their hair to be shiny and soft.

We were looking for organic kelp for our little 8lb schnauzer mix. He was rescued at around 8 weeks and has suffered from allergy, skin, and digestive issues. More recently we stopped feeding him bagged commercial dog food because he was developing allergies to (at that time) an unknown ingredient. I thought it would be best to control the variables in his diet to figure out what was tolerated well, and what wasn't. So basically what he consumes isn't a huge variety, mostly sweet potato based along with a protein source like salmon or mackerel. There was some concern that he wasn't receiving all of the nutrients and minerals in order to keep his skin from flaking (seborrhea). We were paying the same amount for a small, medication-sized container of a kelp-based supplement from the vet. This 3lb container has lasted us almost 7 months and is still 2/3 full. The pieces are small and somewhat "crunchy" (not dry and flakey like I expected); this isn't an issue by any means. The kelp seems to be small enough in order to be absorbed. The smell seems very natural (somewhat like how the sea or ocean smells) - this led me to feel that the product was minimally processed and retained its nutrient value. There is a convenient measuring scoop on the inside that corresponds with the suggested servings, by animal weight, on the label. If you do have a concern that the kelp is too tough for your animal to chew (although I really don't see this as a legitimate concern), the pieces rehydrate well by letting them soak up a little coconut or olive oil. He seems to really enjoy the flavor and loves it on his food. It has helped to improve the condition of his skin as well. I will mention that we even sprinkle some occasionally (about once a month) in our potted plants after watering to help replenish minerals into the soil - they seem to do well on it also.

Full disclosure, I’m attacking my dogs’ (bichons, 2 and 3 years old) tartar issues from all angles. They’ve been on the kelp for 5 weeks, brushing with CET toothpaste nightly for about 2 months, and they get the occasional raw lamb shank or rack of beef rib to try to scrape away any accumulation naturally. I hadn’t seen much progress. No additional accumulation, but no real improvement. Not until like 20 minutes ago. They had just finished their lamb shanks and I checked my 2 year old’s teeth, hoping she scraped off some tartar. She hadn’t. Her teeth weren’t awful, but there was a moderate amount of gross brown tartar on her top canines and a little bit on the pre molars right behind canines. I took a fingernail and tried to scrape, like I have a couple times a week for the last month. But this time IT WORKED. Half of the tartar came off in a flake! I scraped the rest off that tooth, went to the next - that came off too! All 4 teeth that had tartar are now basically tartar-free!!! You can see a line on the tooth where the tartar was, from the gum line down. I’m sure that will come off with a little scraping. My 3 year old has a thinner layer of tartar, but on the same teeth. She was much less willing to let me scrape but I did manage to get a flake off before she yanked her head away! I have tried scraping their teeth so often and this is the first time it’s actually done any good. I’m seriously thrilled. Like I said, I’m using a few products and I’ll keep brushing and giving them raw meaty bones. (I’ve cleaned their teeth before just by giving them raw bones daily but I’m paranoid about them cracking teeth) I really do feel like the kelp is a game changer. First photo is of my 2 year old’s now (almost) tartar-free teeth (the line is where the tartar ended). Second photo is of my 3 year old’s teeth, with a flake right at the center of the tooth scraped off. I’m sure the rest will come off when she lets me scrape again. The 2 year old’s teeth were a little worse, the tartar was thicker and there was a dark line of accumulation right at the gum line. I’m giving the kelp to my 1 year old cat as well. His teeth are perfect (though they were perfect when I started giving it to him). None of the animals love the taste, there was some hesitancy when I first started giving it to them, but they’ve gotten used to it mixed into their food. And given these results, everyone is going to keep getting kelp for the foreseeable future.

My dogs eat raw and I make their food This kelp is one of the ingredients I use all the time

So I got this because my pup is having some issues with tartar even though she is using a oral toothpaste and is using additives for the water I expect parsley this is because what I have to feed her because she has EPI. I also got this because I’m not sure if the issues with her breath are related to the tartar because it’s restricted to her last 2 molars in the back bottom of her mouth. So I’m hoping this will help clear up the tartar, potentially fix her breath. I also got it because she struggles with code issues again because of the EPI. We finally turned around her, Seebo and her gut seems to be doing much better in recent weeks hopefully this additional supplement will be her last. And I’m not sure that I noticed the size that I bought but for some reason I was expecting a jar that would be somewhere around 16 ounces about the size of a large grapefruit but this is like four of those. It’s a huge container of kelp which I’m happy about, I just wasn’t expecting as much is as I got so we’ll see how she does. Hopefully it’ll settle down her teeth and stomach issues. I’ll post an update if things get better or worse it seems like she’s been on it now for I think for five days and it seems like her bottom teeth are looking a little bit less Tartary, but it’s I think way too soon to say her breath is about the same it’s not really worse but it’s I wouldn’t call it better.
