Seaweed Calcium 12oz

I have been using this product for about 6 months and it brought my dogs low calcium bloodwork up to normal. He is a 65 pound German Shepard mix and I mix in a heaping spoonful with every meal(homemade fresh food). Not sure of the reviews that have people adding this to how many pounds of food they have. It says right on the package 1 spoonful for every 25 pounds that your dog weighs. My dog is picky and has no issues eating his food with the powder on it. No digestive problems either. You can also add a little water on top of the food and mix it in to remove the chalkiness. Organic Nonfat greek yogurt is also a great way to give your dog calcium and protein but not every dog can tolerate dairy.

My picky mini golden doodle (15lbs) liked it! I put the recommended dose (1/4 tsp) for his weight directly into his mouth (mid tongue), immediately very gently held his snout close and waited literally 5 seconds until he swallowed it and that was it, no fuss, no stress, it dissolved quick and easy! What a wonderful and highly absorbable formula! I’m so glad that I found this natural, clean, high quality calcium supplement for my pooch, without additives or any other additional fillers/or ingredients added and with third-party testing for purity/contaminants. and from an ethically sourced and sustainable business. Couldn’t ask for anything better in a supplement product! Thank you Animal Essentials!

I've been using for the last several years with my homemade dog food. I sprinkle a scoopful for every 2 lb that we cook, easy to use, no real smell and probably tasteless to my dogs. This is certainly needed to add calcium and all those amazing micronutrients into their diets. This ensures my homemade food is balanced and proper nutrition. When I first started making dog food I made some mistakes, and adding the supplements and other vitamins etc was one of those. After consulting with a holistic veterinarian she recommended this additive, and I've been using ever since and my dogs seem to continue to be healthy.

I use this with my home made raw dog food. It turns milky white in water so you know its digestible. My dog is very sensitive and gets sick from almost everything. I feed him Ground beef with a teaspoon of this stuff and about a 1/4 cup of veggie/herb puree. I also use cooked and pureed sweet potatoes for carbs ( he is an Italian greyhound and gets sick with no carbs) I alternate between this and Powdered Egg Shell (which i make myself) to help be more cost efficient as this product is very expensive. For anyone nervous about feeding bones, but you want to try Raw feeding I HIGHLY recommend this. I use to feed raw prey model but every time my dog ate bones it made him sick, he would poop this gross black tar like stuff!! Now his poops are normal and he still gets the calcium and minerals he needs! (keep in mind Every dog is different and i have had some that do fine with bones) Will buy again.

Seems like a good quality product but if you are looking for something to add to your dog's food that has already been made then it will be quite difficult to figure out the dosage. I wanted this product to add needed calcium to my dog's homemade food as not all my meat has bone in it and his dental health is too poor for him to chew raw bones. I had already made a batch of food, that has no bone in it, and portioned it out in the freezer so I wanted to be able to have a supplement that I could just sprinkle on his food when he eats. Unfortunately, the only serving recommendations given on the container say to add so much to however many pounds of food and no recommendations for how much to feed per meal per the dog/cat's weight so I have no idea how much to add at meal time. I am just going to give a tiny sprinkle I guess as he needs the supplementation and I have already prepared this batch of food and can no longer add in the calcium per however many pounds of food I made. I can do this next time I make a batch of food without bone meal already in it but there really should be some sort of feeding recommended based on the dog's or cat's weight so the supplement can be added to already prepared meals.

We have been buying this product for a year now and have had great results. This is added as a supplement in all natural dog food we make for our own dogs. As one of our dogs had many heart, respiratory and skin issues, two separate vets linked it to old age and nothing more they could do. on the verge of having to put her down, we turned to the idea of all natural raw diet for dogs we heard of, which consists of nothing more than raw meat (as the wild animals eat) vegetables, rice and/or potatoes, and a couple added supplements as in this calcium supplement. Our dog made a complete turn around within a couple weeks of the diet. She is back to playing with lots of energy and her hair has grown back in. Her heart still has issues, but is much better than ever before. Of course this supplement alone is not the cure, but it is an essential part in their diet. There is many different brands of seaweed calcium, but this is the one we chose and have had positive results, so we will always continue to purchase this brand.

Very happy with this product. The jar is filled to the top with powder so you get a full jar of product not a half jar like a lot of supplements. I bought this to mix in my cat's raw meals and it seems to be working great. The directions on the jar for raw food is for large batches of meat so I had to scale down the ratio for daily batch feedings as I prefer to add supplements fresh rather than freeze them in large batches of meat. So beware you will have to do your own calculations. I add about 1/8 tsp to about 3 ounces of meat. Reason being cats need to have calcium balanced to phosphorus and it is better to give more calcium than is needed than not enough. As lack of proper calcium can cause kidney damage in cats. This Calicum is highly absorbable and superior to bone meal or egg shells. Can't go wrong with this product.

One star for 8.5 oz bag that arrived June 7th for same price as previous 12 oz bag. It is also advertised as 12 oz purchase. The first pic barely shows the 12 oz wt which is the current bag. This is my 10th purchase, my 11 yr old GSD likes it, I give him additional supps for his stiff hips. Better change the price to reflect the lesser amount. I am not sure I was supposed to notice the difference. Buyer beware!

This is a great product - very easy to use and mixes well with homemade food - no smell, and my dog has not noticed any difference in her meals and eats it up as before - I like the idea that it is very easy digestible for the dogs since mine has had a pancreas problem in the past. I will order this product again! Product came packaged well and not tampered with - HerbsPro - very pleased.

OVERVIEW: Animal Essentials Seaweed Calcium is an exceptional, filler-free mineral supplement. It is an essential tool for anyone formulating balanced homemade dog food or cat diets, particularly for pets with severe allergies or significant medical complications. THE CHALLENGE: ANAPHYLAXIS & DENTAL SURGERY 🐶🩺🏥 The experience was truly harrowing. My much-loved dog suffered a life-threatening anaphylactic reaction to a hidden, corn-derived ingredient while under veterinary hospital care. My confidence was profoundly shaken—if professionals couldn't avoid hidden allergens, how could I? 🙏🏻💔 The stakes were incredibly high because of significant complications following a fractured premolar. The surgical incision had come apart, leaving a gaping cavity wound in his gum that made his usual raw food diet impossible. I had to pivot to a soft, homemade dog food recovery plan that met strict FEDIAF compliant recipes without irritating the sensitive gum tissue. WHY I CHOSE ANIMAL ESSENTIALS I needed to know if corn-derived maltodextrin was used as a clumping agent in their machinery. Their customer service was a lifeline—patient, knowledgeable, and transparent. I was reassured this natural seaweed calcium wasn't just clean; it was safe for my pet. They confirmed this is a 100% pure seaweed calcium (Lithothamnium) with zero hidden fillers. PRODUCT BENEFITS & USAGE TIP • Superior Sourcing: I favour this over bone meal due to its cleaner, sustainable sourcing. • Mineral Synergy: Unlike generic calcium carbonate or powdered eggshell, this naturally includes magnesium, which is vital for a balanced calcium to phosphorus ratio. • Odourless & Pure: It is a finely milled, plant-based calcium for dogs and cats. While a tiny minority of the absolute pickiest eaters may object, most pets find this incredibly easy to accept. It blends perfectly into raw meat, wet food, or home-cooked toppers. 💡 Usage Tip: The ultra-fine, grit-free texture makes it an ideal calcium supplement for recovery meals following canine oral surgery. It ensures accurate dosing without irritating sensitive gum tissue. 🚨7-MONTH UPDATE I have been using this supplement for seven months and my dog is fully recovered from his surgery. • His gum wound healed in 1/3 of the time the vet expected. ❤️‍🩹 • His lab work is reassuring 🧪🔬: his senior blood panels came back absolutely "spot on" and perfectly balanced. The maths of formulation is so much simpler with this product. 🏆 VERDICT Whether you are starting a BARF diet or improving your pet's bone and joint health, this is the vital piece of the home formulation puzzle. It provides the assurance you need that you are providing perfectly balanced bowls, made with love. 🐾❤️

I bought this product as it was recommended by a dog nutritionist as a calcium supplement to homemade food. I was worried that my fussy eater wouldn’t like the flavour but I’m pleased that he doesn’t mind it at all.

It does what it says

Add this product into my dog’s homemade food.
