Spirulina and Chlorella: Superfoods for Pets (and You)

We all want the best for our furry companions — and that includes the food we give them. While it’s well known that Spirulina and Chlorella offer amazing health benefits for humans, these nutrient-rich algae are just as beneficial for dogs and cats.
With many commercial pet foods lacking essential nutrients and heavily processed ingredients, algae superfoods can provide powerful nutritional support for your pets — naturally and gently. Let’s explore how these whole food algae from Seamor can support pet wellness from nose to tail.
🦴 Why Do Pets Need Nutritional Support?
Most pets today eat commercial food that often includes:
-
Fillers and by-products
-
Synthetic additives and preservatives
-
Ingredients from nutrient-depleted soils
As a result, pets may be missing critical nutrients like omega-3s, magnesium, B-vitamins, and antioxidants. This nutritional gap may contribute to rising rates of pet obesity, joint issues, gut problems, and chronic disease — trends that mirror what we see in human health.
Adding Seamor Spirulina and Chlorella helps fill those nutritional gaps naturally.
🌱 Algae Benefits for Dogs and Cats
Both Spirulina and Chlorella offer whole-food nutrients and detox-supporting properties. Here’s what they can do for your pets:
-
Support liver and kidney function
-
Aid digestion and nutrient absorption
-
Strengthen the immune system
-
Promote detoxification
-
Nourish gut microbiota
-
Boost coat shine and skin health
📚 Evidence-Backed Benefits
1. Immune Boost & Gut Support
A study found that dogs supplemented with Spirulina had:
-
Higher levels of gut-protective antibodies (IgA)
-
A more resilient gut microbiome after stress/exercise
-
Stronger immune response to vaccines
2. Better Protein Digestion
Chlorella improved protein breakdown in dogs and encouraged healthier gut bacteria, leading to improved digestion and energy uptake.
3. Skin and Coat Health

4. Feline Benefits
In studies, algae enhanced feline immune cell function and supported nutrient balance — important for cats prone to dietary sensitivity.
