Organic Norwegian Sun-Cured Kelp Supplement
Verified Jun 9, 2026
This is a simple kelp-based supplement for dogs, providing mainly fiber with small amounts of natural protein and fat. The organic, sun-cured kelp can help add bulk to the stool and may be useful for dogs who tend to have loose stools when used under guidance. It’s designed to be added in very small amounts alongside a complete and balanced main diet.
A very straightforward, single-ingredient kelp supplement that can be a useful add-on for some dogs needing extra dietary fiber. Because it’s just kelp, it avoids common protein allergens and keeps the ingredient list very clean. As with any supplement, it should be used in appropriate small amounts and not as a replacement for a complete dog food.

At a Glance
KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Single-ingredient organic sun-cured kelp, which is helpful if you’re trying to keep the diet simple or avoid common allergens like chicken, beef, or wheat.
- Provides additional dietary fiber, which can help support stool quality in dogs prone to softer stools when used appropriately.
- Low moisture, shelf-stable dried product that’s easy to dose in very small quantities over a regular complete diet.
Considerations
- This is a supplement only and does not provide complete and balanced nutrition, so it must be fed along with a regular dog food that meets all nutrient requirements.
- Kelp is naturally rich in iodine; excessive amounts over time can affect thyroid function, so it’s important to stick closely to the recommended very small dose and check with your vet for dogs with thyroid disease.
- The crude fiber level is relatively high for a concentrated powder, so introducing it gradually can help reduce the chance of gas or digestive upset in sensitive dogs.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Kelp
Kelp is a dried seaweed ingredient used in dog and cat foods primarily for trace minerals (notably iodine), vitamins, fiber, and natural flavor rather than as a significant protein or energy source. It can support skin, coat and general micronutrient intake, but iodine levels are highly variable and excessive iodine or contaminants from poorly sourced kelp can affect thyroid function or introduce heavy metals, so pets with thyroid disease should have intake discussed with their veterinarian and products should come from reputable suppliers.
