Guest guest Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 Leslye, Do you give your dogs Omega-3 capsules that humans take??? Also, what dosages do you give your dogs, and what brands and " form " of flax-borage-primrose oil-salmon oil do you also give them? I've VERY interested in doing this myself for my dogs, however I'm not sure what form (capsules, powders, liquids) to use, daily amounts ... let alone what brands to use. Anxiously awaiting your reply whether it's on the Group site or to me privately. Thank you!!!

As an anecdotal note, I have switched all my dogs from flax oil to fish oils (including a rotation with flax, borage, and primrose oils) and most often use salmon oil. I find that they look better on the fish oils and I believe they absorb them better than the plant oils.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 Hi Jan, Yes, my dogs and I all share supplements. Dosage really depends on the individual dog's needs. My Shelties typically get 500 mg/day. My German Shepherds typically get 1 gram/day. This is in combintion with a raw diet, no vaccinations, and homeopathy in place of suppressive medicines. My dogs are all in excellent health. Two are seniors, 11.5 GSD and 13 in Sept. Sheltie. This regime would have to be modified to meet other dogs' needs. As to brands... well, in all honesty, I will buy what is on sale. I know that is not the optimum way to approach nutritional supplementation, but it is the best I can do. Beats feeding commecial diets, anyway, in my opinion. I'm sure there are lots of folks on this list who would be happy to share more specific information with you. I'm not trying to put you off but each of us has to try what works for them.
