About the product:
Dr Brady’s Dental is a vital addition to the canine dental market. It contains seaweed which studies show removes tartar from your dog’s teeth in 5-8 weeks, reducing odour from the mouth. However, the concern to date has been the high heavy metal and iodine contents of such plants, both fluctuating with where they are harvested. In terms of heavy metals, we have found the cleanest source of hand-harvested, organic seaweed possible which we verify for you in the lab (see www.dogsfirst.ie for results of your batch). To this we add pure, organic EU Chlorella which helps bind most remaining heavy metals in the gut. Activated charcoal inhibits much of the iodine being absorbed while naturally derived selenium methionine boosts thyroid function. In this way, Pro Thyroid is expected to have the lowest heavy metal and thyroid impact of any comparable product on the market.
*This product is safe to use in hypothyroid pets but note may reduce their need for thyroid medication. Please monitor with your vet.
Benefits:
ORGANIC SEAWEED: this product contains some of the finest seaweed available for pets. Hand-picked on remote, family-owned farms in the wilds of the Atlantic, the plants are then washed in cool, fresh water which decreases impurities such as heavy metal and salt content. Finally, it is repeatedly ground to a soluble form, making for better absorption.
COOL DRIED FOR BETTER TARTAR REMOVAL: Normally, animal feed is dried with heat. Our seaweed is cool dried (39oC), better preserving the polysaccharides that remove tartar from your dog’s teeth.
STAIN REMOVAL?! In another first for the pet dental market, activated charcoal has long been used by the industry for stain removal (this is the yellowing of their teeth with age, an unavoidable consequence of life, in that way staining is different to tartar which is caused by a lack of abrasion).
UNRIVALLED BAD BREATH CONTROL: Charcoal has a dual function in this product. First, it binds impurities in the mouth that can result in foul breath while peppermint, studies show, can inhibit biofilm formation in the oral cavity, where the bad bacteria live, making it handy in the battle against periodontitis, gingivitis, and of course halitosis (bad breath!).
PRO THYROID: This product is thyroid-protective for 3 reasons. They are:
LOW-IODINE CONTENT: Iodine is pivotal to good health but too much for too long might be a concern. To combat this, we do not use true kelp in this product (very high in iodine). We use a lower iodine seaweed (Ascophyllum) and then use activated charcoal which binds excess iodine before your pet can absorb it, meaning your dog won’t absorb much over the 8wk course of giving this product daily.
LOW-HEAVY METAL CONTENT: Seaweed is notorious for binding heavy metals present in our seas. First, the fresh-water washing removes impurities on the outside, a crucial first step to heavy metal reduction. Next we include EU organic Chlorella which is not only deeply nutritious, but its negative charge means it binds heavy metals from the gut. This means much of what may be coming in with the seaweed will be removed.
SELENIUM ENRICHED SACCHAROMYCES: Selenium is a vital and often deficient nutrient in your pet's diet. It’s also pivotal to thyroid health. We include the very best food source of it, boosting thyroid function
LAB TESTED: We want you to be confident in the quality and cleanliness of our product, so we lab test every batch of our product so you can rest assured what we say is in the tin, is actually in the tin. Or not, more importantly!
