I always commend the ones who are willing to try something different and then be honest about their results.

I used kelp a lot with the Fila Brasileiros for the thyroid issues as well. I can't say whether it worked or not. Over the years I had two that had issues and 4 or 5 that did not. Maybe it helped some I am not sure. When we first got into the dogs one of the old timers said, "Son, this is what you do". I followed in the beginning and in time started to form some of my own opinions. The two bitches that had thyroid issues were on the kelp, and that was early on. I stopped and the next two or three after that did not.

I am just about sure it did not hurt anything.

I never tried it or Alfalfa on a bulldog.

But I did run out of hay one night and all the feed store had was an expensive ass bale of alfalfa hay. I figured it would get me through the night. The dogd ate it like it was prime rib. I thought I was going to have to run a garden hose down their throat like a horse with cholic. They shit clods of hay for a day or so. I am sure it was some horses some where wishing I had not wasted it on some old dog. LOL
