Most types of seaweed are safe for dogs in moderation. Seaweed is low in calories but packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It can be especially rich in iodine, which is important for thyroid function. However, too much iodine can also be problematic, so seaweed should be given only occasionally, in small amounts. Avoid seaweed with added salt, seasonings, or unknown ingredients.

I've strived to find accurate information and tried to remove any ambiguities. I've re-checked these items multiple times for accuracy, but it's always possible that something slipped through unnoticed. If anything's incorrect, please let me know so I can fix it.
When in doubt, ask your veterinarian.
It's important to note that while some items may not be directly toxic, quantity plays a major role. Many human foods are high in salt, sugar, and fat, for example, which can be unhealthy for dogs if consumed regularly or in large amounts.
Remember, even "safe" things can be dangerous in high enough quantities.
