When it comes to nutritional density, few ingredients can compete with Spirulina. This vibrant blue-green algae is one of the most complete superfoods on the planet — and it’s a game changer for dogs and horses needing support with performance, recovery, immunity, or allergies.
You’ll find cold-pressed spirulina tablets in our canine supplement line, and loose spirulina flakes in our equine collection — always filler-free, all-natural, and approved by Vet Health Canada.
Why Spirulina?
Spirulina is a nutritional powerhouse, offering:
✔️ Up to 70% digestible protein, supporting muscle maintenance and recovery
✔️ High levels of chlorophyll, promoting detoxification and oxygen circulation
✔️ Essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and amino acids
✔️ Immune system support and improved energy production
✔️ Natural anti-inflammatory properties for skin, joints, and gut health
For Dogs: Superfood for Skin, Stamina & Gut Health 🐶
From itchy skin to post-surgery recovery, Spirulina is an ideal supplement for:
Dogs with dermatitis, food sensitivities, or chronic itching
Performance or working dogs that need increased stamina and faster recovery
Senior pets struggling with inflammation or nutrient absorption
Dogs with dull coats, flaky skin, or frequent hot spots
Our cold-pressed Spirulina Tablets are easy to feed and loved by dogs — even picky eaters treat them like healthy ‘tic tacs.’
For Horses: Recovery, Respiratory & Allergy Support 🐴
Whether you’re managing a competition horse, a senior, or a horse prone to seasonal allergies, Spirulina Flakes can help improve:
Muscle recovery after training or performance
Skin health in cases of hives, sweet itch, or dermatitis
Respiratory function, including support for heaves or IAD (inflammatory airway disease)
Immune function, reducing histamine response to allergens
Plus, spirulina has been shown to reduce exercise-induced oxidative stress, helping your horse stay strong and focused for longer.
