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.
