The Power of Kelp: Nature’s Superfood for Dogs, Cats, and Horses

September 3, 2025

When you think of “superfoods,” your mind probably jumps to kale smoothies or chia seeds. But did you know one of the most powerful superfoods for your pet actually comes from the sea? 🌊

Meet kelp - a mineral-rich sea vegetable that’s been fueling health for centuries. Now, it’s a key ingredient in our Super Cleanse™ detox, where it helps dogs, cats, and horses shine from the inside out.

Why Kelp Deserves a Spot in Your Pet’s Bowl

Kelp isn’t just seaweed floating in the ocean - it’s a powerhouse packed with over 60 trace minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants. Here’s why pet parents (and pets!) love it:

Supports Thyroid Health 🐾
Thanks to natural iodine, kelp helps keep your pet’s thyroid balanced - key for metabolism and energy.
Boosts Skin & Coat ✨
Dry skin? Dull fur? The minerals in kelp nourish from within, helping pets glow with healthy skin and soft, shiny coats.
Natural Immune Support 🛡️
Kelp contains antioxidants and phytonutrients that give your pet’s immune system a gentle daily boost.
Gentle Digestion & Detox 🌿
Paired with clinoptilolite (the detox mineral in Super Cleanse™), kelp helps keep digestion smooth and toxins moving out.

🌊 Why Thorvin® Kelp?

Not all kelp is created equal. We use Thorvin® Kelp, the highest-quality kelp available, sustainably harvested and certified organic. That means:

Pure, traceable, and nutrient-dense
No fillers, preservatives, or GMOs
Packed with the good stuff your pet’s body craves

💚 A Sprinkle a Day Keeps the Itchies Away

What makes Super Cleanse™ unique isn’t just the ingredients - it’s how they work together. Kelp brings in vital nutrients while clinoptilolite helps usher out what doesn’t belong.

Think of it like this:

One hand is clearing clutter (detoxing toxins and waste).
The other hand is restocking the shelves (replenishing minerals and nutrients).

On their own, each is valuable. But when paired, they create balance - helping your pet’s body function at its best. The “clean-and-refuel” cycle is what supports healthier skin, a shinier coat, better digestion, and more natural vitality over time.

It’s not a quick fix or a harsh cleanse. It’s a gentle, daily rhythm that keeps your pet’s system in harmony - just a sprinkle a day.

😁 The Dental Benefits of Kelp

Kelp isn’t just a superfood for skin, coat, and digestion - it can also play a natural role in your pet’s dental health. Research shows that the unique compounds in kelp help keep mouths healthier in several ways:

Reduces Plaque & Tartar 🦷
Natural enzymes and polysaccharides in kelp can interfere with how plaque sticks to teeth. This helps slow down tartar buildup and keeps teeth cleaner between brushings.
Combats Harmful Bacteria 🦠
Kelp contains antibacterial compounds that support a healthier balance of oral bacteria. This reduces the risk of gum irritation and contributes to better long-term dental wellness.
Provides Essential Nutrients 🌱
Minerals like calcium and magnesium in kelp help strengthen teeth and gums from the inside out, while the iodine in kelp supports overall metabolic and oral health.
Natural Whitening & Freshening ✨
By reducing plaque and balancing bacteria, kelp naturally helps brighten teeth and freshen breath - without all of the chemicals or artificial additives.

Good dental health isn’t just about a bright smile or fresher breath for your pet - it's linked to their overall well-being. Since oral bacteria can affect the heart, kidneys, and more, adding kelp to their diet offers support that goes far beyond the mouth.

Supporting Your Pet During the Detox & Replenish Cycle

When your pet’s body starts gently releasing toxins and absorbing more nutrients, you can help make the process smoother and more effective:

Keep Fresh Water Available 💧
Detox relies on hydration. Make sure your pet has access to clean, fresh water to help flush out waste.
Watch for Small Changes 👀
You might notice shifts in energy, digestion, or skin as your pet adjusts. These are signs the body is recalibrating. Keep notes—it helps you see the progress over time.
Consistency Is Key 🔂
Detox works best when it’s steady and gentle - not rushed. By adding Super Cleanse™ to your pet’s meals each day, you’re helping create balance that builds over time.

👉 How to use it:

Give once daily, sprinkled over food.
Use for 6 days each week, and let your pet’s system rest on the 7th day.
Follow the protocol for 4 weeks, then switch things up with Daily Defense™ for the next 8 weeks.

This rhythm keeps your pet’s body supported, balanced, and ready to thrive long-term.

🐕 Real-Life Results from Real Pets

💬 Itching has gone away!
“When Rocke began itching I took him to the Vet. She said it was probably seasonal (mid-summer). But I was not happy with that answer. My daughter told me about Glacier Peak, so I ordered the Test kit. Results were very clear on what was causing his condition. Put him on the Super Cleanse and within a week Rocke was not scratching and his rash went away. I was pretty sure it would work since my daughter uses Glacier Peak products on her pups....but how quick it worked was so great. Thank you!”

💬 GET THIS PRODUCT!
“I wish I would have discovered Glacier Peak 2 cats ago, however, I'm thrilled that I finally have.

We moved about a year ago and my 17 y.o. cat seemed to stop pooping. One night, I noticed him approach the cat box, then just turn away. This after a couple of days of not even any urine in the box. He's indoor/outdoor, so I wasn't certain that he wasn't going outside, but I decided to take action. I called Glacier Peaks and was firstly thrilled at how knowledgeable they were. Secondly, we were also grateful that they did not suggest a super expensive product(s). In any event, immediately after using their Super Cleanse, my cat's fur turned thick and plush. There was urine in the box every day and a few days later, poop! on a daily basis.

This is a fantastic company. Not only are they well educated and caring, their shipping is better than Amazon. I got my delivery 2 days after ordering.

Thank you Glacier Peak!”
