Why Kelp and Spirulina?

Kelp: Natural Minerals and Iodine

Kelp is a type of marine seaweed containing naturally occurring minerals and trace elements.

One of its most important nutrients is iodine, which is required for the normal production of thyroid hormones.

These hormones help regulate metabolism, growth and energy utilisation.

Medpet includes kelp as a natural nutritional conditioner for dogs and cats.

However, excessive iodine intake can interfere with thyroid function. Animals eating complete diets may already receive adequate iodine, so additional supplementation should be considered carefully.

Spirulina: Nutritional Support for Healthy Pets

Spirulina is a nutrient-rich cyanobacterium commonly used in nutritional supplements.

Medpet highlights its naturally occurring:

• Amino acids.
• Essential minerals and trace elements.
• Beta-carotene.
• Omega-3 fatty acids.
• Omega-6 fatty acids.

These nutrients contribute to normal physiological functions, including maintaining healthy skin and coat condition.

Spirulina also contains natural pigments and compounds with antioxidant activity.

The quantities of individual vitamins, minerals and fatty acids in Vita-Kelp are not published in the manufacturer’s online product information.

Supporting Healthy Skin and a Glossy Coat

A healthy coat depends on adequate protein, essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals.

Nutritional deficiencies or imbalances can contribute to dull hair, poor coat condition and skin problems.

Medpet Vita-Kelp Powder provides supplementary nutrients to support normal skin and coat health.

For pets requiring more targeted skin and coat nutrition, Keen Pets also stocks Medpet Bio-Vita, a vitamin, mineral and amino acid supplement containing biotin and zinc.

Another option is Mirra-Cote, a liquid supplement containing essential fatty acids and vitamins for skin and coat support.

For dogs and cats with increased essential fatty acid requirements, consider Efazol Plus.

These products offer different nutritional formulations and should not automatically be combined.

Nutritional Support for Growing Pets

Medpet Vita-Kelp is formulated for dogs and cats of different ages, including puppies and kittens.

Growing animals require appropriate supplies of protein, vitamins and minerals to support normal development.

The manufacturer includes amino acids in the formulation to support normal nitrogen balance, growth and body maintenance.

However, puppies and kittens receiving complete, balanced growth diets may not need additional supplementation.

Excessive mineral supplementation can cause nutritional imbalances, particularly during growth.

Always consult your veterinarian before adding multiple vitamin or mineral products to a young animal’s diet.
