Guest guest Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 Pam: Here is what Dr. Brownstein said in a recent Blog or whatever about Pets and Iodine. I have been asked many questions about pets. Pets should be our concern as they are outside and closer to the ground. My friend and holistic veterinarian Dr. Simon said that pets can take iodine. He was not sure of the dosing but thought that they could take amounts similar to what I posted for children (0.08mg/pound). I would be open to any other advice about dosing iodine in pets. What I do is take their water bowl each morning, empty out the old water, wash it and then put in 1 drop of 5% Lugol's. They are 6 lb. and 10 lb. But Dr. Brownstein's amount works out to about 5.2 mg. per day for your dog, which would be about 2 drops of the 2%, figuring that he will drink it ALL. So you might need to adjust it, accordingly. Mine are so small that it's difficult. So I give it to them every second day now.

I just purchased some Lugol's to add to my 1 year old Golden Retriever's water bowl. It is 2% Lugols. How many drops should I add to his water? Also, the bowl is big and holds about 1 quart of water (to which he doesn't drink all). So, I need to factor that in too. He weighs about 65 pounds.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 Great.... thanks. Yes, I've read on this site before about people giving to pets so I knew it was okay. Iodine is important for every living creature!!!!
