Comments: I couldn't continue her on it because she had recently started exhibiting signs of allergies and I didn't want to aggravate it by adding something new to her diet. BUT the quality of the product seems very good and I would try it for other dogs. |

Breed: Chow Chow

Comments: Unfortunately my dog was allergic to the Seagreens; Duchess only tried it for 5 days. She loved the taste and couldn't wait for mealtime. This company was very generous with the 5 oz. size of the Seagreens product and included samples of their dog biscuits, dog food and cat food. |

Within a few days, Duchess began scratching much more than usual. I stopped giving her the seagreens supplement and the scratching subsided. Duchess has a lot of food / supplement sensitivities so this isn't unusual. |

Based on appeal to my dog. She loved the taste and enthusiastically ate her food. Duchess has tried other seaweed supplements, however this one smelled and looked more fresh. |

Critic's Name: Abigail
Breed: Miniature Wirehaired Dachshund

Comments: Abigail did not like the taste of the Seagreens and so getting her to take it was an ordeal. I hid it in cheese because if I put it on her food she wouldn't eat it. Abby has some skin problems and I was hopeful that this product would help clear them up. Since Abby only weighs 8 pounds I had to figure out the amount to give her because the directions only specified per 50 pounds. The supplement came in loose form and may be easier to administer in capsule or liquid form. On the positive side, they sent two sample dog bisquits, a sample of dog food and a sample of cat food with the Seagreens. Abby loved the dog bisquits, ate the dog food and my cats loved the cat food. I don't believe there was anything wrong with the product. I just don't think that it was the right one for Abigail. |

Comments: First of all, my dog did not have any problems with itchiness or dry skin, so the supplement wasn't exactly suited for her. What it did do was make her itchy after about two weeks of use. I discontinued use after three and a half weeks. She did enjoy the taste of it (eventhough it did make her breath smell-yuck!). This supplement may work for other dogs, but for mine, I will stick to something else. |
