Show information
Keep your dog in peak condition by providing all 37 of the minerals and trace elements that they need with our Kelp Seaweed Tablets. This is our highest strength kelp seaweed product, and is now double concentration for maximum effect. With naturally high levels of iron and iodine for strong coat and skin pigmentation, these tablets are perfect to help keep your pet looking their best and can also be useful for dogs with conditions that may benefit from supplementation with these specific minerals.
What causes pigmentation loss?
Pigment and/or hair loss can be associated with a shortage in minerals - especially iodine and iron. This fading can be particularly noticeable on the nose and around the eyes and mouth. It is seen most often during the winter months and also in bitches following a season or pregnancy.
The seaweed species in our Kelp Seaweed Tablets contains particularly high levels of iodine and iron, making it the perfect supplement for pigment loss.
Why are minerals and trace elements important?
Minerals and trace elements are essential for many of your dog`s body structures and functions. For example, iodine is required for the thyroid to function and control the entire body`s metabolism, and iron is an important constituent of red blood cells, vital for carrying oxygen. Your dog can`t make these minerals in their body, so has to get them from their diet.
We use a special variety of deep-sea kelp, Fucus vesiculosus, which is naturally packed full of the 37 minerals and trace elements that your pet needs, making it a great all-round nutritional supplement.
Why Dorwest Kelp Seaweed Tablets?
Our constant focus on quality is one of the reasons Kelp Seaweed Tablets have been used and trusted by pet owners for over 50 years. We only use kelp harvested from sustainable deep-sea sources and it`s tested to British Herbal Pharmacopoeia standards for heavy metals and contaminants. The other reasons can be found in all the positive feedback from our wonderful customers about how this specialist product has helped their pet - something that we`re really proud of!
How do I use Kelp Seaweed Tablets?
Use daily for an all-round nutritional supplement. For strong pigment many people find it useful to give our Kelp Seaweed Tablets from autumn through to spring to help prevent a drop in pigment. It is necessary to give Kelp Seaweed Tablets for a minimum of one month to enhance pigmentation that has been lost, although it may take two or more months for it to be completely restored.
For pets that have already experienced pigment loss, many owners have found that using Elderberry & Nettle Extract initially to regain the pigment is best, before swapping to our Kelp Seaweed Tablets to maintain the pigment.
