How To Use Spirulina

Feline

Oral – offer dry or wet from your finger, or a glass rod

Canine

Nutrients from dry spirulina enter into the blood via the membranes in the mouth. If it begins to stick to the tongue the dose is being reached, so let the spirulina down with some water. Dogs may want it strong at first, then weaker. Spirulina is less potent in water. Add approximately one teaspoon or tablespoon of spirulina to a bowl. Splash a small amount of water on to it, leaving some dry. Look to see if your dog is selecting it dry or wet. Dogs may want to lick it from your finger before taking it from the bowl. This helps reduce its initial intensity, before proceeding to see if a stronger dose is needed

Equine and Other Herbivores

: Horses rarely select spirulina perhaps because they do not have a high-protein diet

Chickens

Observe which is preferred – in water, dry or made into a paste

Caution: Do not confuse spirulina with blue-green algae, Aphanizomenon flos aquae, which is toxic. s. Purines (found in spirulina, meat, game and some fish) may be detrimental to some Dalmatians, since they may not be able to metabolise purines efficiently
