sheltielover Posted October 10, 2003 Posted October 10, 2003 I just put Honey and Licky on Wellness Fish and Sweet Potato (nasty smelling stuff! :x ). They aren't very keen on it yet, but they're working on it. Anywho.......I saw on t.v. (or read somewhere....can't remember) that 1 tsp of Kelp would help a dog who is over weight. I'm trying to get Honey's weight down and keep it down (which is going good so far) but was wondering if anyone has heard of giving their dog Kelp? I also heard that apple cider vinegar was good, but I want to check here first before I try ANYTHING!! Thanks! :D Quote
TDG Posted October 10, 2003 Posted October 10, 2003 i don't think that just adding kelp or apple cider vinegar really does anything for weight loss per se. don't get me wrong, they are both great supplements that deliver a lot of nutrients, but adding them doesn't make the weight magically disappear. you can supplement apple cider vinegar anytime without trouble, but be careful on the kelp. it usually contains quite a bit of salt and iodine, which is not healthy at all in excess amounts, so make sure to check what's already in the formulation of the food you are feeding.

sheltielover Posted October 10, 2003 Author Posted October 10, 2003 Actually, I wasn't looking for something that was going to make the weight "magically disappear".....I was looking for something that may help with what we are already doing now. Thanks for the info....... Quote
TDG Posted October 11, 2003 Posted October 11, 2003 i just figured i'd point it out, since especially ACV is touted in many commercials as a "magical" weight loss aid (for humans). no offense intended. Quote
