Spirulina
Spirulina is a blue-green algae-like cyanobacteria and one of nature’s most nutrient-dense superfoods. With more than 60% protein—more than eggs—and more iron than spinach, spirulina is a rich source of essential amino acids, omega-3 fatty acids, enzymes, chlorophyll, and a wide range of vitamins and trace minerals. It’s commonly used to support inflammation, correct nutritional deficiencies, and promote immune function. Studies have shown spirulina’s antioxidant properties, its ability to reduce allergic responses, and even its potential to reduce the formation of tumours in some animals.
Spirulina is also thought to help with bacterial and yeast overgrowth and may offer protection against radiation exposure. Pets regularly supplemented with spirulina often show visible improvements, including a shinier coat, fresher breath, and enhanced vitality.
Suggested Feeding Amounts: Spirulina is very nutrient-dense, so start with small amounts and build up gradually to avoid digestive upset.
For dogs and cats under 10 kg, give ¼ to ½ teaspoon daily; for dogs between 10 and 25 kg, give ½ to 1 teaspoon daily; and for dogs over 25 kg, give 1 to 2 teaspoons daily. Alternatively, follow the general guideline of ¼ teaspoon per pound of food. For cats, ½ teaspoon per day is usually suitable. Always observe your pet’s response and adjust as needed.
