Is kelp safe for my dog?Updated 9 days ago

Yes, kelp seaweed powder is safe for most dogs when fed in the correct amounts. It’s a natural, whole-food supplement that provides a wide range of minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants. The key is to stick to the recommended serving size for your dog’s weight.

Why Kelp Seaweed is Safe

• Whole food, not synthetic: Kelp is a dried sea vegetable, making it easy for dogs to digest and absorb.
• Nutrient-rich: It provides natural iodine, iron, magnesium, calcium, and trace minerals that support overall health.
• Tested for quality: Our kelp is carefully sourced and screened for heavy metals and contaminants.

When to be Cautious

• Thyroid conditions: Because kelp naturally contains iodine, dogs with thyroid problems (especially hyperthyroidism) should only be given kelp under veterinary guidance.
• Medication: If your dog is on long-term medication, check with your vet before starting any supplement.
• Portion control: More is not better. Stick to the serving guide to avoid excess iodine.
