Can my dog eat Wakame? 
Wakame is a type of seaweed that’s edible and has been grown in Japan for centuries. Later it became recognized and sought after as a health food in the 60s and 70s. This deep brown sea veggie is usually added to soups, salads and may even be served as a side dish on its own. Wakame is a low-fat, low-cal food that’s great for anyone on a weight loss plan. It’s also packed with nutrition and includes vitamins A, C, D, E & K, B2 & B9, calcium, iron, potassium and more.
Can my dog eat wakame? Can my puppy eat wakame? Yes! Edible seaweeds are actually very healthy for dogs. In fact, wakame is even beneficial for diabetic dogs, as it helps to regulate metabolism. It also helps fight cancer, supports the digestive system and can aid in detoxifying the liver. You can serve your pup dried, powdered wakame—just sprinkle a little bit over his normal dog food. What if my dog ate a lot of wakame? It could cause an upset stomach and diarrhea if eaten in large amounts. If your pup eats large pieces of wakame, they could become enlarged in his digestive system and cause an intestinal blockage. So, only serve wakame in small portions and as an occasional addition to his meals.

Yeah, wakame is very beneficial for diabetic dogs because it helps to regulate metabolism in them. My vet specifically told me that when we found out my dog was diabetic. It helps greatly to fight cancer, supports the digestive system and also aids in detoxifying the liver.
Since it’s good for diabetic dogs I’m guessing it’s good for my overweight dog as well. I’m adding low fat and low-calorie meals to his diet now and wakame just fits perfectly into that list right now. Thank you!
