Kelp has extremely high nutritional value, rich in various minerals, vitamins and active ingredients that promote animal growth, especially high iodine content. As a feed additive for dogs, kelp can significantly improve the breeding performance of breeding dogs and the weight gain and disease resistance of puppies.

The specific feeding method is as follows.

1. Use 500g kelp + 30g animal oil + 2000g water to make soup. Feed the female dog after childbirth, which can increase the amount of lactation. Feed it once a week half a month before childbirth, and once every 4-5 days after childbirth.

2. Cut 50g of kelp + 1000g of fresh bones + 3000g of water and stew it. Divide the soup into two meals to feed it, which is conducive to the female dogs who have given birth to restore their appetite.

3. Add 5% kelp to the diet and feed the puppies, which will increase the weight by 20% compared to puppies without kelp, and increase the survival rate by 10%.

4. Adding 5% kelp to the diet to feed breeding dogs can improve the estrus and pregnancy rate of female dogs. It is also said that it can also improve the survival rate of sperm in the semen of a breeding male dog.

In short, using kelp as feed for dogs, additives can significantly improve the utilization value of feed and are more conducive to dog health. But here I also remind everyone: Although kelp is good, don’t eat too much for the dog, just use it in moderation, and it is best to chop it.
