Dogzymes Organic Norwegian Kelp With Organic Garlic Supplement

Verified May 25, 2026

Dog · Supplement Senior All Breed Sizes

This is a kelp and garlic powder supplement for dogs, designed to be added in small amounts to their regular diet. The organic Ascophyllum nodosum kelp provides natural minerals, trace elements, and amino acids, while organic garlic adds additional botanical compounds. It’s intended as a nutritional booster for skin, coat, pigment, and general wellness rather than a complete food on its own.

KibbleLab Score
7.4 out of 10

This is a simple, mineral- and amino-acid–rich kelp supplement with added organic garlic, intended to be sprinkled on a dog’s regular food. It can be useful when a dog’s main diet may be low in certain trace minerals or when owners prefer a natural kelp source of iodine. Because it is quite concentrated and includes garlic, it’s best used carefully and ideally with guidance from your veterinarian, especially in dogs with thyroid or blood-related issues.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Very short ingredient list with only organic kelp and organic garlic, which keeps the formula straightforward.
  • Kelp provides natural sources of iodine and a wide range of trace minerals and amino acids.
  • The powder form makes it easy to mix into most types of dog food in very small amounts.
  • Calorie content per gram is low, so it does not significantly affect daily calorie intake at recommended doses.

Considerations

  • This is not a complete or balanced diet and must only be used as a supplement to a regular dog food.
  • The iodine content from kelp may not be appropriate for dogs with thyroid disease without veterinary guidance.
  • Garlic can be a problem for some dogs at higher doses, so staying within the recommended amount is important.
  • Mineral-rich supplements can interact with other supplements or diets, so check with your vet if your dog already receives added minerals.

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.
02
Garlic
Garlic is sometimes used in pet foods as a flavoring or for claimed immune or antiparasitic effects, but it is not an essential nutrient for dogs or cats. Because garlic (and other Allium species) contains compounds that can cause oxidative damage to red blood cells and potentially trigger hemolytic anemia—cats are particularly sensitive—its inclusion is controversial and exposure should be avoided or discussed with your veterinarian.
