• Oral health support:
  Ideal for pets with dental issues or bad breath. Supplementing with seaweed has been shown to reduce plaque build-up by up to 87% and may slow the progression of periodontal disease. Regular use can help prevent halitosis and support overall oral hygiene.

• Iodine support in BARF and home-prepared diets:
  Seaweed is a natural iodine source, crucial for thyroid function. Deficiencies in iodine can contribute to skin problems, allergies, weight gain, and even neurological issues like epilepsy. Conventional blood tests often miss early signs of thyroid dysfunction. According to Dr. Jean Dodds (American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association), seaweed can help correct mild hypothyroidism by providing essential nutrients like iodine and selenium before more serious symptoms arise.

• Support for neutered or spayed young dogs:
  Dr. Barbara Royal (author of The Royal Treatment) recommends seaweed for young pets prone to post-sterilization weight gain. She notes that the removal of gonads—key endocrine organs—can lead to hormonal imbalances, which seaweed may help stabilize by supporting the body’s endocrine system naturally.
