What is Kelp Meal and How Does It Benefit Dogs?
Kelp meal is derived from kelp, a type of brown algae that thrives in cool saltwater environments. This seaweed can grow impressively large, sometimes reaching lengths of 30 feet or more. But what makes kelp particularly interesting for our furry friends is its nutritional profile. Kelp is packed with nutrients
- Protein: 25% of kelp is protein.
- Fat: 2% of kelp is fat.
- Iodine: Known for supporting and regulating the glandular system.
- Amino Acids: Contains 21 amino acids.
- Vitamins & Minerals: Boasts 60 vitamins and minerals.
One of the standout benefits of kelp for dogs is its ability to combat tartar buildup on their teeth. This is attributed to a bacteria known as Bacillus lichenformus found on the kelp’s surface. When consumed, this bacteria releases an enzyme that aids in reducing tartar buildup.
Nutrients in Kelp Meal for Dental Health
The primary nutrient in kelp that aids in dental health is the aforementioned bacteria, Bacillus lichenformus. However, kelp’s overall nutrient-rich profile, including its amino acids, proteins, and vitamins, contributes to a dog’s overall health, from improving skin conditions to aiding digestion. Kelp meal works with the saliva in a dog’s mouth to break down plaque and tartar and promote dental health.
