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.
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 (pollution, pesticides, fertilizer run off, etc) 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 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 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.
To compare with other products, If you eat just one apple, you are eating many times more arsenic that in an entire 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 to make a paste which will stick to the dry food. Some people will mix the kelp with peanut butter on a half slice of bread, fold the bread and toss it to them as a treat. You could use jelly or something like that. You can switch to Vegetarian Blend Kelp which has cheese taste.
15 I lost my scoop that comes with the kelp. What size is the scoop?
The blue 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.
