Description

Simply Seaweed is a dental supplement for dogs and cats. It is 100% Ascophyllum nodosum, which is a type of seaweed. Simply Seaweed is also a great nutritional supplement due to its abundance of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids, antioxidants and prebiotics. 

How does it work?

After being consumed by your pet, Simply Seaweed’s 
Ascophyllum nodosum works in several ways to improve 
dental hygiene, due to its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory 
and anti-adhesive properties. Existing plaque is softened, and new plaque is prevented from sticking to teeth. 

The benefits of this product include-

• Dental maintenance 
• Prevention of dental disease 
• Prevention, reduction and removal of plaque 
• Prevention of calculus (tartar) 
• Reduction or elimination of halitosis (bad breath) 
• Stain removal and whitening of teeth

FAQ

How long until results become noticeable?
Whilst most pet owners see an improvement within a few weeks, results will vary depending on severity and dosage and may take up to 12 weeks to become noticeable.

My pet does not like the taste… any suggestions?
In our experience, dogs are not usually bothered by the product being added to their food. Cats, however, can sometimes be a bit fussy.

Some suggestions:

• Reduce the dosage

• Start by introducing a very small quantity of the product, gradually increasing the amount up to the recommended dosage

• Hide the Ascophyllum nodosum in a small amount of lactose free yoghurt, chicken stock, gravy, margarine or peanut butter

• For cats, try mixing the Ascophyllum nodosum with Brewer’s Yeast before adding to the cat’s food

Why must I consult my veterinarian before using this product if my pet has thyroid problems?
Seaweed is naturally high in iodine, a mineral which affects the thyroid. Seek veterinary advice beforehand if you would like to give your animal Ascophyllum nodosum.

Can my pet eat seaweed if they are allergic to seafood?
As seaweed is the natural habitat of many fish and shellfish, there may be traces of marine life in any seaweed product. If your pet has a serious fish or shellfish allergy, they should not be allowed to consume any seaweed products including Simply Seaweed. Pets that are intolerant of seaweed or algae derivatives should also refrain from consuming seaweed products including Simply Seaweed.

It is important to understand the difference between a food intolerance and a food allergy. Whilst they can share many clinical signs, food intolerances are usually less severe and limited to digestive issues. An intolerance is a chemical reaction that occurs within the body, whereas an allergy is an immune system response. A serious allergy can affect the nervous system and result in a life threatening situation.

Does Simply Seaweed come with a measuring scoop?
No. We do not including a plastic measuring scoop in every container of Simply Seaweed for the benefit of our environment. Instead, we recommend using standard kitchen measuring spoons.
