HOW CAN SPIRULINA HELP MY DOG?
There are key benefits that spirulina can help with in dogs, as well as us humans.

IT CAN STRENGTHEN YOUR DOG'S IMMUNE SYSTEM
Dogs with sensitive or weak immune systems can often be tired, and have low energy. Spirulina can help to balance and boost the immune system, and can enhance the body's ability to create new antibodies such as blood cells. It contains phytonutrients (nutrients found in colourful fruits and vegetables) which contribute to overall health due to their high levels of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. This means that spirulina can help to improve the health of your dog's immune system in fighting disease and infection.

IT CAN CLEANSE THE BODY OF TOXINS
The natural algae has been found to absorb metals and toxins from the body so that they can be easily passed. As dogs can be vulnerable to pollutants from things like drinking water from puddles and streams, spirulina can help these toxins to pass through your dog's system and be excreted.


IT CAN IMPROVE DIGESTION AND GASTROINTESTINAL HEALTH
Spirulina is digested easily as its cell structure does not have tough walls that is found in high fibre. It passes through easily and promotes healthy bowel function. 
As spirulina contains so many different vitamins, minerals, and nutrients, it can help to boost the metabolism, and therefore help energy levels.

 
IT CAN IMPROVE OVERALL SKIN AND COAT HEALTH
A dog's diet can have a great impact on their coats. There are a number of different ingredients that dogs can be allergic or intolerant to, which can irritate skin and produce dull looking fur. Spirulina is a great source of essential fatty acids, which can help to maintain a healthy and balanced skin.

Spirulina can also help to reduce allergies as it is a natural antihistamine, which is a great natural remedy for pets who suffer with itchiness from varying seasonal allergies.
