My dog is getting older and she is starting to show signs of getting rough around the edges. My neighbor is a veterinarian and reccommended that I begin to mix some flax seed oil into my dogs meals because one of the primary benefits of giving your dog flax seed oil is the shine that the skin and coat develop. In addition to making the coat shiny and healthy, flax seed oil is believed to help skin conditions. Upon his request I began adding Barlean’s Flax Seed Oil to her meals. I just began doing so recently and haven’t noticed much of any difference but it is said that you need to give it time. I will report back when I begin to see some results.

I am the proud owner of a german shepard who is now going on two years of age. I was never under the impression that dogs could use supplements to help their performance until my friend told me about it recently. I found out that Vitamins are required for bone growth, good vision and for the body’s metabolism. Implementing vitamins into my dog’s daily routine seems like a good idea along with giving him his regular dog food. I found a creditable dog vitamin company called Doctors Foster & Smith that I’ve done some research on. They make vitamins for dogs of all ages along with pills that will help their coat. Considering I’m relatively new to the pet vitamin realm I would appreciate anyones knowledge on the matter. Thanks!

Studies have shown that glucosamine helps rehabilitate cartilage and reduce the progress of dog arthritis while reducing pain and increase mobility in dogs. There are no side effects and is completely safe. If your dog suffers from arthritis you may want to look in to this supplement.

Flax Seed Oil is a rich source of vegetable-based Omega-3 fatty acids, which is essential vitamin for overall health in humans and also animals too. Most of all commercial pet foods avoid omega 3 in there products which makes them turn rancid causing a shorter shelf life. Companies like Barlean’s makes a Flax Seed Oil for Animals offer the vital nutrients for your pets. If you feel the benefits that it does for you just think what it  will do for your pet.
