Spirulina
- Spirulina is one of the oldest life forms on Earth. In fact, this blue-green microalgae is partly responsible for producing the oxygen in the planet's atmosphere that billions of years ago allowed the planet's originating life forms to develop. Spirulina is the world's first superfood, and one of the most nutrient-rich foods on Earth.
- Benefits:
- It improves the immune system and provides exceptional support for the heart, liver, and kidneys.
- Spirulina is also a natural detoxifier, oxygenating the blood, and helping cleanse the body of toxins and other impurities that may be causing illnesses or other health complications.
- It also has very powerful antioxidant properties and it helps to balance the body's pH, thereby reducing inflammation throughout the body.
- It improves the immune system and provides exceptional support for the heart, liver, and kidneys.
- Dose: 1 to 2 tablespoons for a 45 lb dog

Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 teaspoon per 10lbs of body weight daily (or 1 tablespoon per 30lbs)
- Start with just a drop and work up to this dosing! Otherwise your pup will have loose stools!
- I do not give every day. Although a healthy fat, it is still a fat. I rotate every other day with fish oil.
