Chlorophyll - Page 1

I've read numerous topics elsewhere online that encourage adding liquid chlorophyll to a dog's drinking water to reduce odors and is just an all around good antioxidant for animals.  Some others recommend giving them alfalfa in their food as a source, but after buying a 16oz bottle of it at the health food store the other day and adding it to my dogs' water bowl, I saw that they loved it!  I added 2 tablespoons, and it made the water turn very green (naturally, since it's liquid plant juice! lol), and both of them started lapping it up like crazy.  Of course the water bowl has to be changed every day (they usually drink it up in one day anyway) and fresh chlorophyll added, but has anyone else used the liquid additive?  I offer it in a separate water bowl from their regular water, in case they just want plain water to drink outside.  I checked the bowl this morning it was nearly gone.   

Sorry but WHY???

Dogs fart its normal! 

Why give supplements for something completely normal, I don't get it?!!.

Open a window lol.

Lol!  No, it's not just for gas, but for body/coat/breath odor too :D  Although dog farts ARE pretty awful, especially because they're usually silent and you walk into them! :D  Phew!

I have never thought about adding it to their drinking water, but in small quantities it should be safe. After all, dogs eat plenty of grasses. Dog odors are just part of owning a dog I think.

There are chlorophyll tablets available for bitches to reduce their odor while they in estrus and it is used to keep randy male dogs a bit calmer if they are near the bitches.

As a matter of fact I intend to try some of this soon, as I have three (3) intact bitches and one (1) intact male who resides here.

The recommended dosage for the liquid is 1-2 tablespoons per large bowl of drinking water.  I used a little less today, probably 1 1/2.  And that was my thinking as well, Bob, that since dogs eat grass (or should be given the opportunity to) as a part of their regular diet both as pets and in the wild, if they can't get that part of the diet by themselves it doesn't hurt to add it to their normal routine.
