SeaBite is a completely natural, healthy and unique chew for dogs. The seaweed is sourced sustainably from the kelp forests of southern Australia.

​

The idea came from Womble, a trainee guide dog who would always find and chew large fronds of dried seaweed, when going for walks on the beach. We took a closer look and realised that it was the larger, completely dried leaves and fronds (Thalles) of a particular kind of seaweed which Womble preferred. Not only did he prefer the natural, salty taste of the seaweed, we learned it is packed full of healthy minerals and compounds, rather than the chemicals and colourings of a standard dog chew. We also loved it because it didn't pong 9+++and was a true animal friendly alternative to the plastic, bone and other animal-based dog chews available. 

​

We then checked with a number of vets in the UK and Australia that these dried seaweed chews were safe and healthy for dogs, which they confirmed and endorsed. The next step was much testing with as many of our four-legged friends as possible and after enough wagging tails and tug of wars, SeaBite was born.

​

Looking at SeaBite's environmental footprint, the kelp forests where SeaBite grows are giant carbon sinks; storing and sequestering about 160g CO2  per 100g of dried SeaBite. Putting this into context, to ship 100g of Seabite to the UK from Australia produces 21g CO2 and the average CO2 produced when making 100g of dried dog food is 300g. SeaBite can practically offset our dogs' carbon footprints. Don't worry though, we don't cut down these protected kelp forests, we collect the 'drift weed' from Tasmanian beaches after storms and currents have naturally given them a good shake. SeaBite depends on these forests and considers them a valuable resource to fight climate change.

 

This is all to say - by chewing SeaBite, doggos will enjoy a good ol' healthy munch alongside offsetting their own carbon footprints. Who woofn't want that?
