Iodine is a chemical element and is needed by humans, dogs , cats and all other vertebrates for the synthesis of thyroid hormones. The thyroid hormone thyroxine consists of about two thirds iodine. Iodine is therefore involved in regulating the growth and energy balance of animals. A sufficient supply of iodine is particularly important during pregnancy. A lack of iodine can lead to fatigue, hair loss and fertility problems.

To ensure that your pet receives sufficient iodine, make sure that it has a varied diet. Fish and seaweed usually contain a lot of iodine. In contrast, the amount of iodine in grains and meat is lower. For this reason, at haustierkost.de we often use algae lime or algae as an important food supplement in our ready-made BARF . We also recommend vitamins , oils and minerals for your pet. Fruit and vegetables are also suitable for increasing the variety and thus the amount of iodine in BARF for dogs and BARF for cats .
