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.

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

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.

Works. Just dissapointed that it doesn't tell you in description that it contains cotton like flower. It just says in on top of cap. I did write a previous comment but not really fair to the product. It does work. I just don't want to give it to my dog because of the notification it contains cotton like flower what ever that is.

Bon produit
