The Power of Organic Atlantic Kelp Powder: A Superfood for Your Canine Companion
Who says seaweed is only for sushi?
The truth is, dogs can enjoy seaweed – or rather, kelp – too!
Organic Atlantic Kelp Powder is a nutrient-packed supplement known for making tails wag and fur shine. In fact, the American Kennel Club tells pet parents that kelp is loaded with positive health effects for both humans and their pups. Even better?
Only One Treats Organic Atlantic Kelp Powder is 100% Canadian, sourced straight from the Atlantic Ocean.
So, let’s explore kelp powder for dogs!
4 Benefits of Kelp Powder for Dogs
Vitamins and Mineral Boost
It’s hard to believe that so much goodness is contained in 1 little teaspoon. As far as pet supplements go, kelp powder “leads the pack,” so to speak. That’s because kelp is a sea plant. A sprinkle over kibble is a natural way to add essential vitamins, such as:
- Vitamin A
- Vitamin B12
- Vitamin C
- Vitamin E
- Minerals
- 21 Amino Acids
Improved Thyroid Function
Just like humans, dogs can struggle with thyroid issues too. According to VCA Canada, hypothyroidism is one of the most common hormonal diseases in canines.
But fear not, because Organic Atlantic Kelp Powder is here to lend a helping paw!
Rich in iodine, this seaweed superhero supports healthy thyroid function, regulates metabolism, and keeps your doggy feeling their best. So, if Fido has been feeling a bit sluggish lately, it might be time to pinch some kelp powder into their bowl and watch them bounce back with boundless energy.
Gut Health Galore
Nobody likes the smell of a gassy pup, right?
Luckily, Organic Atlantic Kelp Powder keeps those tummy troubles at bay. The solution is fiber. Naturally found in kelp, fibre aids digestion and promotes gut health by acting like a prebiotic.
If your dogs are prone to the occasional upset stomach, kelp powder has got their back (and their belly) covered.
Say Goodbye to Itchy Skin
Lastly, Organic Atlantic Kelp Powder can soothe red, swollen, irritated skin and help alleviate allergy symptoms.
Unfortunately, dogs of all breeds and ages can develop allergies. The good news is, pups who are constantly scratching or dealing with uncomfortable allergies may find relief in kelp powder’s anti-inflammatory properties.
How Much Kelp Powder is Too Much?
A common question we get asked at Only One Treats is, “How much kelp powder should I feed my dog?”
A small amount of kelp powder can be taken daily. However exactly how many teaspoons varies based on your dog’s weight. It’s always a good idea to consult your veterinarian before adding supplements to a dog’s diet. But generally speaking, a daily recommended feeding guideline is as follows:
- Dogs 1-25 lbs - 1/4 teaspoon
- Dogs 25-50 lbs - 1/2 teaspoon
- Dogs 50-100 lbs - 1 teaspoon
- Dogs 100+ lbs - 2+ teaspoon
You may be surprised to learn that it’s not just dogs who benefit from kelp powder…
While cats might hate water, they love the added taste of ocean-sourced kelp powder. Feeding 1/8 teaspoon is the purrrfect amount for felines. Like their doggy counterparts, kelp powder can support a cat’s health by providing essential nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, promoting a shiny coat and overall well-being.
From the shores of the Canadian Atlantic to the bowls of our beloved furry friends, this nutrient-rich seaweed offers a myriad of benefits. Abundant in vitamins and minerals, it helps support digestion, skin, fur, thyroid health, and so much more.
