Scientific Studies

Our formulations are guided by scientific research to ensure effective, nature-powered support for your dog's wellness.

Oral Health StudyReduction of Plaque and Calculus The Findings: This double-blind, placebo-controlled study showed that edible treats containing Ascophyllum nodosum significantly improved oral health by reducing the formation of plaque and tartar (calculus) in dogs. Gawor, J., et al. (2018). "Effects of Edible Treats Containing Ascophyllum nodosum on the Oral Health of Dogs." Frontiers in Veterinary Science.

Nutrient ReviewAlgae as a Dental Nutrient The Findings: A comprehensive review confirming that Ascophyllum nodosum acts as a vital nutrient that supports long-term oral health in both dogs and cats, helping to maintain healthier gums. Gawor, J., & Jank, M. (2023). "Ascophyllum nodosum as a nutrient supporting oral health in dogs and cats: a review." Polish Journal of Veterinary Sciences.

Saliva ChemistryNatural Tartar Prevention The Findings: Research found that supplementing a dog's diet with this specific algae actually changes the chemistry of their saliva, making it harder for plaque to stick to the teeth and harden into tartar. Gawor, J. P., et al. (2021). "Influence of Dietary Supplementation With Ascophyllum Nodosum on Dog Saliva Metabolome." Frontiers in Veterinary Science.

Gum HealthClinical Effect on Gingivitis The Findings: This clinical study demonstrated that daily intake of Ascophyllum nodosum significantly reduced the presence of gingivitis and improved overall gum health by controlling the bacterial environment in the mouth. van Dijken, J. W. V., et al. (2014). "A randomized controlled clinical study of the effect of daily intake of Ascophyllum nodosum alga on calculus, plaque, and gingivitis." Clinical Oral Investigations.

How To Use

Sprinkle over your dog's daily meal and stir through. Kelp is potent, so more is not better — stay with the amount on the jar.

Store sealed in a cool, dry place. Use it alongside brushing, dental chews and your vet's own dental care rather than in place of them.
