What kind of animals can eat kelp? Birds, cats, reptiles, dogs,
cats, humans. All most any living thing that eats food can benefit from kelp.
2 How long before I see results from the kelp?
Most animals will show some results 4 to 8 weeks if feeding directions
are followed. Pets that are generally healthy may show more energy or will
become more playful and have a better attitude.
3 What about pigmentation?
Pigmentation problems will usually take 8 weeks or more to see a change.
Kelp can improve pigmentation and will usually darken the eyes and nose.
Many pets will get a shiny coat.
4 What about shedding?
Kelp can reduce shedding and will fill in areas missing hair. It will
improve the looks of the hair and reduce breakage.
5 Can kelp increase litter size?
Many breeders have reported an increase in the number or pups after
adding Norwegian Kelp to the diet. Puppies are generally more healthy and
they have less problems. Giving kelp to the mother and the puppies assures
that they are getting the nutrition needed for growing up healthy.
6 My pet is on thyroid medication. Can I still give
the kelp?
It depends on the dose and if the vet approves. If it is a small dose,
most pets can take kelp in place of the medication. The kelp is usually
cheaper to buy than the medicine plus you get all the benefits of the kelp.
If you decide to try the kelp, have a thyroid test done to see if the kelp
is working. It is very important to check with your vet before changing any
medication. The vet is the only one who can approve using kelp instead of
medication for the thyroid.
7 You have a new product called Vegetarian Blend &
Garlic. What does the garlic do?
Garlic is good for circulation. Also it is antifungal, antibacterial,
lowers blood pressure, lowers cholesterol It helps with intestinal
parasites. Most pets will have a very slight garlic breath. We don't
recommend Garlic for cats.
8 Why is kelp sold elsewhere so much cheaper?
The old saying that you get what you pay for is very true here. Kelp
absorbs its nutrients from surrounding water through the leaves. Kelp has
roots but they only serve to anchor it to the ocean floor. Thus, poor
quality water equals poor quality kelp. Some of the stuff that kelp absorbs
are not good to eat. Some kelp has too much of one thing and not enough of
something else. Norwegian Kelp has been shown by research to be the best
quality kelp you can get. It’s the only kind we sell. Your pet deserves the
best.
9 What is the shelf life of the Norwegian Kelp and
the Vegetarian Blend?
The Norwegian Kelp will last at least 5 years if you keep it dry and
cool. The Vegetarian Blend and the Vegetarian Blend & Garlic will last at
least 2-3 years if you keep it cool and dry.
10 Can I feed Kelp for People vitamins to my pet?
Yes you can. It is more expensive that way. Some pets prefer to swallow
several Kelp for People vitamin pills rather than taste the kelp on their
food. Fish oil is used as a binder to keep the kelp in pill form with the
added benefits of vitamin A & D. Pets will require multiple pills to get the
correct dosage. For pets who are picky eaters, we suggest Vegetarian Blend
which has a cheese taste.
11 How many Vitamins for People can I take?
You can take up to 13 vitamins per day before reaching the maximum
recommended daily amount.
12 One of your competitors said that kelp has
arsenic in it and not to give it to my pet. What is the story on that?
There is indeed a small amount of arsenic in Norwegian Kelp and most
other kelps as well. The amount in a 2.2 lb. Pail is smaller than the point
of a needle. The average amount in a 2.2 lb pail is .00003 ppm. (Parts per
million) To compare with other products, If you eat just one apple, you are
eating many times more arsenic that in an entire 2.2 lb. pail of Norwegian
kelp. The amounts involved are too small to worry about.
13 Can I eat the same kelp I feed my pets?
We have people who sprinkle kelp on their cereal in the morning or mix it
with other food. The difference between the kelp vitamins and granular kelp
is that the vitamins use fish oil as a binder to retain the pill form. As an
added benefit, the fish oil has vitamins A and D. Also the vitamins are
bottled in a USDA supervised plant .
14 My pet turns up her nose when I give her the
kelp on top of her food. How else can I give it to her?
You can stir the kelp into her food which will help hide the
taste. If using dry food, you can mix the kelp with a little water or use a
spray bottle of water to make the kelp stick to the dry food. Some people will mix the kelp with
peanut butter spread on a half slice of bread, fold the bread and toss
it to them as a treat. You could also try yogurt or cottage cheese.
You can switch to Vegetarian Blend Kelp which has a cheese taste and is a
complete supplement.
15 I lost my scoop that comes with the kelp. What
size is the scoop?
The scoop is equal to one teaspoon.
16 Is the Yeast in your product a brewers yeast?
No, it is not. We use an inactive Nutritional Yeast that is grown
specifically for its nutritional value. It is a vegetarian base yeast.
Brewers yeast is a bitter byproduct of the brewing industry that has a high
nutritional value, but not as high as our Vegetarian based yeast. Brewers
yeast can cause stomach upset.
17 Can your nutritional yeast cause yeast or
Candida infections?
No, it can not. Our nutritional yeast is inactive. The Candida is
a live organism.
18 My Golden is getting up there in age and has
trouble climbing the stairs. Will the kelp help?
The Kelp will help with arthritis pain as well as stiff joints and will
give your pet an energy boost. Your pet should be able to climb those stairs
much easier. You should see results in 4 to 8 weeks. Another product we make
is the
Total Arthro Solution for
people and pets.,which
can help with arthritis and pain and Hip Dysphasia. Many pets have
wonderful results with this product.
19 The analysis of your kelp shows amounts . Are
these amounts a serving of one scoop?
The amounts you see are based on an entire pail of kelp weighting
2.2 lbs The amounts shown for the Nutritional Yeast are for 2 scoops. (10 cc) or 3 teaspoons.
20 Can I give the Total Arthro to my pets.
Yes you can. The doses are based on weight. Below are the doses
for pets.
TOTAL ARTHRO FOR DOGS Doses
The human dosage is 4 caplets a day with the dog dosage adjusted
according to their weight. Dogs: up to 25—1 caplet daily; 25 to 55 lbs—2
