Poodle (Detailed Introduction)

　　Due to the popularity of human health supplements and increasing attention to pets, pet food supplements have become widespread. Good products are not baseless but rely on effectiveness. Since most dogs’ nose colors fade with seasons, age, or diet, and their coat quality also deteriorates with age, many netizens have heard that seaweed powder helps dogs’ health. Pet seaweed powder has also consistently sold well online. We all know popular products inevitably attract counterfeits, so owners need to be vigilant. The following content introduces the role of seaweed powder for dogs and how to distinguish genuine from fake seaweed powder.

　　1. Chinese Label on Bottle Cap

　　Genuine: Clear printing, bright colors, clear contact information, and the trademark featuring a cartoon dog with a “MAG” tag hanging from its neck.

　　Fake: Poor printing, dull colors, no clear contact details, stiff and dull trademark design. The “main ingredients” mention “FKA certified for human consumption” but the unknown “FKA” is not identified with any authoritative organization or country.

　　2. Bottle Label, Packaging, and Seaweed Powder Appearance

　　Genuine: Clear printing, bright colors, back label shows US factory address and website; finely made bottle with consistent color; seaweed powder is small granular, deep olive color with slight brown, swells and softens when soaked in cold water. This powder is made from the unique spherical brown algae (Ascophyllum Nodosum) found only in the North Atlantic, differentiating it from other seaweed types.

　　Fake: Poor printing, blurred text, website on the back label leads to nonsense content; rough bottle surface, obvious color difference between bottle cap and body; seaweed powder is fine powdery gray-green, becomes paste-like in water, contains a lot of sand, and has a foul pungent odor (indicating bad water quality where the seaweed grew). It can be confirmed as low-grade seaweed ash used for fertilizer.

　　3. Anti-Counterfeit Mark

　　Genuine: Peel-off anti-counterfeit label with a visible 6-digit serial number on the surface and a 16-digit code underneath, offering three methods for verification. Features a company emblem with “MWM.”

　　Fake: Simple scratch-off anti-counterfeit only offering one website verification method.

　　Editor’s Tip: When purchasing pet seaweed powder, be sure to choose trustworthy sellers and buy through official channels. Never be tempted by cheap discounted products to avoid being scammed. Proper seaweed powder supplementation benefits dogs but more is not always better; adjust according to your dog’s actual condition.
