Dr. Gerald Post and his team from The Veterinary Cancer Center (VCC, USA) evaluated the effect of oligo fucoidan on the quality of life in dogs with cancer undergoing chemotherapy in a double-blinded case control study. Treatment with oligo fucoidan was safe and improved some of the quality-of-life metrics in dogs who were being treated with chemotherapy for cancer.
