Phytoplankton
Phytoplankton are microscopic, photosynthetic organisms that live in aquatic environments, primarily oceans, seas, and freshwater bodies. They are a type of plankton and serve as the foundational producers in aquatic food webs.
Why we feed?
Phytoplankton is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals, including A, B, C, D, and E, as well as minerals like magnesium, calcium, iron, antioxidants, and essential amino acids. They are an excellent alternative to seafood if your dog will not eat fish!
How to feed?
Phytoplankton can be used as a nutritional supplement for dogs, but it’s generally recommended in small amounts to avoid over-supplementation.
