How does it work?
After being consumed by your pet, Ascophyllum nodosum works in several ways to improve mouth health, due to its natural anti-adhesive, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.[ref] Bacteria is prevented from sticking to the tooth enamel, tartar build-up is reduced and existing plaque is loosened.[ref]
How long until results become noticeable?
Whilst most pet owners see an improvement in breath within a few weeks, results will vary depending on severity and dosage and may take up to 12 weeks to become noticeable
Is Ascophyllum nodosum suitable for pets with sensitive stomachs?
Whilst Ascophyllum nodosum is usually well tolerated, each animal is different. Ensure that your pet’s gastrointestinal system is at its best before introducing Simply Seaweed. Introduce the product slowly, gradually increasing the dose as toleration is evident.
Probiotics may help with transition – products such as SkinnyDog Kefir, Protexin or lactose free yogurt.

Where is Simply Seaweed made?
Ascophyllum nodosum does not occur naturally in Australian waters and is therefore imported from other countries, usually Canada, Ireland, England, Scotland or Norway. Please check individual containers to see where the batch was harvested. The seaweed is sent directly from the country of origin to Australia, where it is then locally packaged and prepared for distribution.
The containers are made in Australia, food safe, BPA free, tamper evident and recyclable.
