Benefits of Seaweed for dogs

The benefits of seaweed for dogs is increasingly being recognised as a way to boost their health, and has resulted in a wave of new supplements and treats being created for pets.

One of nature’s superfoods, for both humans and pets, seaweed, is rich in nutrients like iodine, antioxidants, and essential vitamins and minerals, and is one of the most environmentally sustainable foods to grow!

Of course getting our pets to eat their superfoods is not always easy, which is where the vet formulated, Blue Pet Co Dog seaweed-based supplements can help.

Now available at Petstock, the Blue Pet Co supplements use sustainably sourced Irish Atlantic seaweed, and with over 60 essential nutrients, the range is low in fat, all-natural, and free from grains and added sugars. Given the benefits of seaweed for dogs, these treats can play a functional role, while also rewarding your dog for being a good boy or girl.

The Blue Pet Co range of chewable supplements include GoShine, designed to support skin and coat health. GoActive for active dogs, which is great for enhancing mobility and joint health, and the GoSmile™ dental sticks, which are a unique shape and texture, designed to promote fresh breath and support your dog’s daily oral health routine. Pet owners usually notice improvements in just three to four weeks.

By adding these seaweed-based supplements to your dog’s daily routine you’re not only recognising the benefits of seaweed for dogs, but you’re also supporting sustainable practices.  They have zero-waste production and are also 1% for the Planet certified, which means they donate at least 1% of their annual sales to environmental organisations. That’s great for both your pet and the planet.

You’ll find the Blue Pet Co Seaweed-based dog supplements in a range of sizes at your local Petstock store, or online.
