About the product:
Dr Brady's Pro Thyroid is a vital addition to the canine dental market. It contains seaweed which studies show removes tartar from your dog's teeth in 5-8 weeks, reducing odour from the mouth. However, the concern to date has been the high heavy metal and iodine contents of such plants, both fluctuating with where they are harvested. In terms of heavy metals, we have found the cleanest source of hand-harvested, organic seaweed possible which we verify for you in the lab (see www.dogsfirst.ie for results of your batch). To this we add pure, organic EU Chlorella which helps bind most remaining heavy metals in the gut. Activated charcoal inhibits much of the iodine being absorbed while naturally derived selenium methionine boosts thyroid function. In this way, Pro Thyroid is expected to have the lowest heavy metal and thyroid impact of any comparable product on the market.
*This product is safe to use in hypothyroid pets but note may reduce their need for thyroid medication. Please monitor with your vet.

Dosage and How To Feed
FAQ
Does activated charcoal bind nutrients from their food?
This is a common one but a bit of a misconception. Charcoals adsorption process relies on VAN DER WAALS forces rather than strong ionic (+/-) interactions. This means activated charcoal is most effective at ADsorbing (means sticks to, as opposed to ABsorb, which means drawing in) NON POLAR things (non-polar being a state where the electrons are shared equally, there is no + or - at the end of it). This means it’s not great at adorbing stuff like Iron (Fe2+) or Calcium (Ca2+) or Zinc (Zn2+) or Copper (Cu2+) and vitamins like B and C, as they’re all polar, so good news there, but it’s AWESOME with non polar substances such as toxins, pesticides and gases and Iodine is weird in that’s it’s non polar too. So that’s first.
Secondly, bigger molecules (eg the nasties above, and proteins and stuff like cholesterol etc) take up the space first. Vitamins and minerals are micro nutrients, so they don’t get a look in.
So, if you feed a tiny bit of charcoal (this product) then the space WILL be taken up with non-polar stuff and larger moelcules, not vits and mins.
Now if you feed in very high dose (eg after a toxic ingestion of some chemical and you're trying to save their life) then yes, it will bind all sorts, but that's not what we're talking about there. As ever, the dose is the issue.
Those two reasons is likely why there are zero studies showing a nutrient deficiency using a TINY amount of charcoal.
And even IF it does, seaweed and algae are two of the most nutrient-dense additions you could hope for, so it would likely take that edge off if it existed.
Can it interfere with any of my dog's meds?
We can't comment on medicines prescribed by your vet, so that exact question needs to be addressed to them.
For now, activated charcoal is only 10% of this product so it's a very small dose. And while it can absorb certain nasties (as above), how much it might absorb or interfere with medicines is virtually unknown. There are some studies suggesting it can but the dose is enormous and always given with the chemical compound.
Best advice is that, if you (and your vet) decide to feed Dr Brady's Dental with a medicine, that they be separated by 2-4hrs, meaning the medicine has had time to be absorbed before the good stuff goes in!
What is the difference between Dr Brady's Dental and Canident?
Both contain Irish seaweed but there the similarities end. Unlike Canident, my new version contains organic seaweed, handpicked and washed in freshwater, which will reduce the salt content. It's also cool air dried <39oC, hopefully better preserving the good bits compared to normal animal feed. Unlike Canident, we add in some extra ingredients - activated charcoal, which will help reduce iodine absorption, Chlorella which will help bind any heavy metals present and therefore reduce their absorption; and peppermint, which kills off the biofilms in the mouth, improving odour. All in all, with hopefully less iodine and heavy metals and as we also add selenium-methionine from killed yeast, we expect this to be the most pro-thyroid seaweed-based pet supplement on the market, by some margin.
Using this product now for a couple of weeks and not just the tartar is gone but nearly all yellow stains as well. No bad breath either 🙌👍
