Title: Seaweed
Post by: AnnieM on June 27, 2007, 03:32:00 PM

I have been doing some reading about the benefits of seaweed/kelp supplements.  Does anyone on here use it and if so does it have any noticeable effect on their coat?   I am thinking more of the girls as after their season they are almost bald.   :-\  Is it any good for male dogs too?

I've used it on my male dogs with regard to their pigmentation but I can't say I noticed any effect on their coats  :huh:

I use it daily on my boy and girls. I use kelp tablets as a rule but have bought dried seaweed from the health shop too.

Thanks, I may give it a go, I use EPO and I have really noticed a difference with the shine on their coats, unfortunately the girls dropped it all after their season, so I was looking for a supplement that may help.  I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try it.   ;)

Annie you could try the missing link. It is a brilliant supplement that I feed all year around. I discovered it when one of my girls really started shedding badly while she had a litter of puppies and have never looked back since. Obviously Dalmatian coat grows back much faster.

I would recommend you trying the Vita Oil Ann.
We use it on our bitches if they have dropped their coat's, Sophies only been on it for 9 week's and we have seen a big improvment theres more hair there now than theres ever been it puts a lovely shine on the coat too  :blink:
