Kelp

Ocean's mineral treasure

Kelp is a marine superfood, packed with trace minerals that are often missing from modern canine diets. Our dried, powdered kelp provides a natural, bioavailable source of iodine, selenium and antioxidants that help support thyroid function, immune resilience, and healthy cellular ageing.

Key nutrients and benefits

Iodine: Kelp is one of the best natural sources of iodine, a mineral dogs need in small but crucial amounts to support healthy thyroid function. The thyroid is like a master switch for metabolism, energy and growth, all of which tend to slow with age

Fucoidan: A unique compound in kelp that helps modulate the immune system, reduce inflammation and support gut and cellular health.

Polyphenols: Natural antioxidants that help fight oxidative stress, reduce inflammation and protect cells from long-term damage, all key in supporting healthy ageing.

Calcium: Vital for nerve function and muscle control. Kelp provides a natural plant-based source of calcium.

Potassium: Potassium helps regulate fluid balance, muscle function and heart rhythm, all of which become more important with age. A deficiency can lead to weakness, fatigue and irregular heart function.

Magnesium: Often overlooked, magnesium supports everything from nerve signalling to energy production to protein synthesis. In older dogs, it’s especially helpful for maintaining muscle health and easing restlessness.

Why it’s one of our ingredients

We include kelp because it's a rare example of a whole food ingredient that delivers meaningful nutritional complexity in small doses. It's not just a source of one thing, it’s a powerhouse of minerals and antioxidants, many of which are difficult to obtain from land-based foods alone.

It adds depth and balance to our marine-sourced blends, supporting the thyroid and immune system while complementing the anti-inflammatory benefits of salmon and herring.
