Strengthens and protects cats, dogs and horses

Just add half a teaspoon to your dogs food, or a quarter of teaspoon to your cats food to ensure that your pet gets all of the vital minerals and vitamins it needs to stay in optimum health from a natural food source. For horses see Daily Feed Inclusion Table, below.
Seagreens® Pet & Equine Seaweed are 100% dried grains of certified human food quality Ascophyllum nodosum sustainably harvested seaweed, in line with EU and USA Organic Standards. Nothing is added or extracted from the pure air-dried seaweed.
Pet & Equine Seaweed strengthens and protects cats, dogs and horses. Nutrient imbalance, micronutrient and mineral deficiencies and metabolic disorders are often rooted in inadequate natural forage, feed processing and ‘fashion’ trends in equine and pet feed formulation.
Like Seagreens® for humans, these easily digested pure seaweed granules are great balancers of your pets nutritional profile - regulating metabolism, strengthening immunity and vitality, supporting the mineral balance in performance.
Seagreens® is recommended by grateful horses, dogs and cats up and down the country and dairy calves at one of Britain's largest biodynamic farms!
Oral Health and Hygeine, Allergies and Intolerances
"It is estimated that up to 85% of dogs and cats in Britain over two years of age suffer from some degree of dental disease" - the leading British animal charity PDSA (People’s Dispensary for Sick Animals).
Regular ingestion of seaweed and even applying it with a toothbrush may be a good natural route to oral health.
How will you know if your animal has any allergies or intolerances?
Seagreens seaweed is certified allergen free, human food quality and the product contains no other ingredients.
What's in it
Dried large granules of Seagreens® native wild Wrack seaweed Ascophyllum nodosum, of human food quality, whose composition and health benefits Seagreens has studied and documented for over two decades. For human consumption use the smaller granules in Seagreens® Culinary Ingredient. Nothing added or extracted. Non-allergenic. Safe in permanent daily use.
Provenance
British Isles and Nordic region. The best seaweed species are found in different locations. Seagreens has developed 5 food certified remote harvesting locations and production facilities in England, Iceland, Ireland, Norway and Scotland.
What it does
Important nutrients are missing in depleted soils, limited forage, feed processing and storage, and trends in pet and equine feed formulation. Seagreens® Ascophyllum nodosum contains all these nutrients.
Its unusual breadth and density of nutrients - all of the vitamins, minerals, trace elements, polyphenols, amino acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, soluble fibre, enzymes and antioxidants - provide the micronutrients for domestic and grazing animals and sufficiency in soils and land-grown foods. In the soil this means support for microorganisms. In the plant it supports growth and vitality.
In the animal, improved performance, immunity & temperament. It variously cleanses the blood and liver; repairs the hoof; maintains the bloom and overall condition; strengthens resistance and recovery and enhances the absorption and value of other feed nutrients.
How to use
Daily inclusion levels are given on the jar for each type and size of animal. The granules should be mixed in feed or given by hand and can also be infused in drinking water. For livestock inclusion levels please request information about our agricultural Mineralizing Meal which has additional uses in composting, seed soaking, soil and watering.
